INSPIRED BY HELEN !!!


Well l thought if helen can hold Harriet !

In all seriousness though l heard that Oaklands museum was holding an open afternoon to show birds snakes and spiders, so popped up there with Claire in an attempt to bet one of my fears (particularly as Australia is well known for having quite a few creepie crawlies) Claire was so brave and put one round her neck and so l had to at least touch one but was really brave and held one; only because l told the lady that l had a fear of them and not to let the head end near me, and she didn't !!
As a child l had a really traumatic nightmare where a massive python lay at the side of my body all night and l had to stay dead still eventually l flinched and the snake bit my neck and l died; at this point l woke up believing that in the pitch dark, that l had died !! Horrible, horrible, still remember it well considering l was 6 at the time........probably would explain my sweaty palms and nausea yesterday!!
