These stories are all about encounters with snakes. I don’t like snakes. You’ll be hearing about 5 stories that will make you cringe and probably think, “What were they thinking”. I decided to put them all in one story because I don’t want to talk about them again.
Gosh, Matt! So impressed by all of these stories - and wow, your mum!!! I wonder how many venomous snakes you have over there?
There are only three snakes native to the UK, one of which is venomous. Grass snakes are around and about - I used to see one in the garden sometimes, but I haven't for years. Smooth snakes are extremely rare. Adders aren't all that common either - they're our only venomous species, and every summer you read perhaps one or two stories about small dogs being bitten and killed.
Matt, I was dying laughing! I can only imagine those roofers whooping it up at your mom's bravery! And the animal control guy--"If I go down..." I feel like he should deputized you for being his backup!

I've seen black snakes down here only a handful of times and, even though I know they're non-poisonous, I still don't like them. I sympathize! :)
