When a day can’t get any better..

Sitting in our lounge after lunch.

A common lizard emerges from under the settee and sets off at speed across the carpet. 

Not an everyday occurance. Never seen a lizard in our fourteen years here. I did exclaim.

My Cornish pal used to catch them as a kid, only to lose them again when their tails came off! Everyone called them ‘voor legged emmets’..

Imagine such abundance.

Our lizards favourite game was hide and seek in the kitchen. Came back for a second go.

Another of our wildlife jewels under threat. From loss of connecting habitat and also from domestic cats…

She’s now relaxing on a rotting tree trunk by the pond..
