My family and I would like to send out a big thank you to the dog loving residents of Helpston and surrounding villages, who helped get George the Beagle home.

No, mercifully, for I am not too keen on snakes, this one was dead. The fact that it was a banded snake I found intriguing if not a mite scary. Was it a Coral Snake or a harmless Milk Snake ? I knew there was a rhyme re. the sequence of the colours in the [...]
