Slug

I normally think of slugs as being black and slimy but this one is a little different. Maybe it has discovered the remaining lettuces in my raised beds but there is no sign of damage yet. Perhaps it just likes the new gravel. We had heavy rain in the evening which is the first time the dusty gravel which I got straight from the quarry has had a wash. It has become much more colourful with lots of shades of red, grey and blue. I’m very pleased with it.
Our friends who stayed overnight and had a meal with us up at the Cortal restaurant last night have gone back. They will be coming every Saturday they are here and stay over so that they can ring both at practice and before the service. They have very kindly offered us the use of their apartment by the sea when they are in the UK which is most of the time. They are only here for a month or two each year so I am sure we will make use of their offer.
