ddickinson: I think France would also have Adders, and probably a mix of other snakes as well.
I still have to go out and do some more physical stuff, but most of the day is me being inside and keeping an eye on my mum, who is not dealing with everything to well, what with her health and her fall and what is happening with my niece's death.
I am glad you are having a peaceful and sunny day. It's not very sunny here and there is a cold wind, but the day is still nice, with lots of birds out singing.
Yes, I think we have some... but in Southern France. Thay have the warmth and sunlight... so they also have venomous snakes and other wild stuff (deal with it !) ^^
Well, I imagine how tough it must be for your mum... I hope she will recover and feel better soon, as much as possible...
We don't have many birds here, in the city... We have a turtledove nest right above our office's dorr ; unfortunately they dropped an egg on the floor yesterday.... the nest looks a bit damaged... :-( I don't even know if the turtledoves are gone or still nesting here...
