THE wet weather and slugs are back with a vengeance. The creatures must now be looking for suitable places in which to hibernate for the winter.

It seems stones and pots are not good enough to shelter some who have decided they want to move up to classier accommodation.

I've removed three from inside my conservatory in the past week. Ugh.

As a bare-foot fan, there's nothing worse than stepping on the little blighters -- and unfortunately, that's how I found the third one.
