Hi Chuckles ... glad you're back ... I knew my poor puns would trigger you into conversation! And the robin in the picture was in our allotment last year where it used to eat from my brothers hand (images on flickr) ... I think watching Carol reminded me of the pics I'd got ...

Wow! And the mouse too! You truly are a friend to the little critters :)

And I've never been away, don't worry - read every post like the good Burro I am :)

Strangely enough ive had the pleasure of eating a mealworm myself - yes a real mealworm, fried and coated in chilli powder, wasn’t actually that bad surprisingly!

Maybe you could try it as your next exotic venture into the unknown, bit different to a dragon fruit but equally as scary looking??
