Well we have had a very wet but fab weekend. Saturday night saw us having a meal with my best friend and her partner that had come to stay in Weymouth for a couple of days. Had a great time catching up and have made plans to stay with Emma in October. On the Sunday we drove down to The Great Western Canal by Tiverton. It was a ride out with the Harley group we belong to. However because it was wet and I still cant do long journey on the bike yet, we drove down in our defender. We had a good turnout considering it was so wet. 20 bikes showed up and a fair few in cars like us. The ride on the narrow boat was so much fun. Of course we took the weather in our stride and we cracked jokes etc.
Then after the canal ride it was back to Dawn and Snowman's (his nickname) Chris's house out in the wilds for ploughman's and homemade scones and cakes. I stuffed my face silly. Then Chris announced that his next door neighbour who keeps reptiles was showing them in his conservatory. Well I have always loved snakes and lizards but never had the oportunity to hold them. He had tarantula's there as well. I was a bit more nervous about them but
it was something I have always wanted to do. I was a bit shaky after the tarantula but it was so fascinating. They feel completely different to house spiders which I do have a problem with.

Looks like a fun weekend. I love tarantulas actually. My hubby used to have a couple.
Ohhh Im envious of your trip! What fun you must have had, especially on the bikes! As for the crawlies you held, I love em because theyre alive but prefer birds, then again, my daughter would be thrilled to have them all on at once! :) When we move she plans to expand the family and get herself a snake (Eastern Indigo) I told her anyhing that touches my feathered babies becomes sushi ;)
We actually found a snake outside and took him in to see what spieces he was (in case someone let out a critter that wouldnt survive) but he turned out local and I let him go into this garden that skunks and racoons cant get into :)
Thanks for the sweet post! you look too cute :D
Hugs,
