You find me bursting with excitement today. I barely slept last night as every time I closed my eyes I thought of our potential new arrivals.

Had you asked me yesterday morning how I felt about Giant African Land Snails I would have probably shrugged and offered little response.

However, when Nik and I were asked if we would be interested in providing accomodation for some yesterday we both raised our eyebrows and exchanged looks. A brief chat later and we agreed that we would! It is a bizarre thing, but really, for no reason that we could explain, we both really did like the idea of it.

So research has been completed, the kitchen has been rearranged to ensure that we can accommodate their home, the old fish tank has been pulled from the cupboard and the current landlady of the snails is set to be informed that we are all but ready to receive our new house guests. I am so excited! I hope there are some homeless ones left!
