Just shivering thinking about SNAKES .. we don't have many if ANY here, and, if we do, they are Garter Snakes ..
Still and all .. no fan am I of the slither !
The BISHOP at my son's confirmation was 'beebled' .. he kept repeating stuff in his sermon .. loved to FLASH his ring .
One thing about being brought up Catholic and going to Catholic schools etc .. lots of way great memories re Nuns and Priests LoL
Re the straw bales .. I wonder if setting them on a wooden palette on the grass would be best?
