Caryl Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I have been collecting snails to send down to Donna Moot, the Turtle Rescue Lady, in Christchurch. My daughter, who had been here for Christmas, was going to take them back with her so I have been collecting snails and putting them in a 30l barrel, ready to go. Yesterday, said daughter came off her bike and has broken her collarbone so is stuck here until the pain has reduced enough to take the long drive back to Christchurch from Blenheim. She is not allowed to drive for at least 2 weeks so we will be driving her back (and picking up 2 ebikes Grant has just bought) but not until her pain eases considerably and she is able to dress and undress herself and do other things one handed - and they must be light as any movement jars her collarbone (you can hear it crunch!) Anyhoo, the snails create a lot of mess so couldn't stay in the barrel so we set up a paddling pool, added a large lily plant plus covered it all with a low gazebo to keep them in the shade. They must be the most spoilt snails in NZ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Lucky snails but unlucky daughter in law, my sympathy to Dena. Hope her frogs are enjoying the heat down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 It isn't Dena, it is my daughter, Kelly, who had the accident. Dena and her frogs are all hale and hearty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
