So I was quite brave today, for me at any rate!
We were at one of Colin’s lovely trips this time to Blakemere.

This trip included a visit to an Avery, to see loads of really gorgeous Falcons Eagles and owls of all shapes and sizes.
On top of this I got to stroke a corn snake with another member of our group.
I know I know! Corn snakes are relatively harmless and its not like I was stroking a Hooded Cobra or a Hydrophis Belcheri
But I was actually a little nervous. Now I have many friends with lizards dragons and gecko’s (hi 9th Crayon) which I have had the privilege of holding stroking, or generally looking at and going ‘ermm no you’re okay it can stay with… oh… its not so bad actually!’
But Snakes are something I haven’t had the opportunity to handle yet.

I already knew they weren’t slimy or sticky or anything like that, and I know a few little facts and things (or I think I do so I'm not typing them!!!)
But it surprised me how light yet how heavy it was, and how warm!

The other Lady I was with, (there were only three of us went to see the Avery out of a group of 16! Terrible!!!) Was also thrilled to touch a snake.
One of the other trips I’ve been on this year with Colin was a trip to Boddlwythan castle and I took my old camera and tried my hand at a little bit of photography. There not brilliant but I like them! 
and from the Ocassional Trish! That’s all! XxX
