Ruth had a bit (no pun intended) of a surprise when she came upstairs last week and found a snake over a metre long looking at her from the bed in my study. I think she was as much surprised to think that I had been working all day just a few feet from where it was. We puzzled about how to get it out of the house. (It was pretty fast-moving.) The solution was a fishing net and the laundry basket. We also puzzled about how it had managed to get so far into the house. Our puzzlement dissipated when Topaze came upstairs to see what had happened to her snake.
The photo shows the snake on the verge on the other side of the road where we deposited it. It's a couleuvre verte et jaune or green-and-yellow grass snake. Not venomous, but aggressive.
Topaze a la recherche du serpent perdu.

Your Topaze is amazing and a bit scary - wouldn't fancy a snake in bed at all
