A big snake crossed the road in front of me today. I’ve not seen loads of snakes in my last, but find them pretty cool creatures for sure.

I remember plucking one out of a river in France as a child, seeing a couple in Wales, as a boy, seeing a large one slither into a lake I was canoeing in, and then today. We stopped next to it for a look, and it shot off as quickly as a person could run, across a parched field. It didn’t exactly look friendly, but I have zero fear of snakes so it was a positive for me!

I’d like to see a pterodactyl one day, so will keep hoping.
