Nothing like the smell of an autodafé in the evening
I knew that my mum sort of dislikes slugs, especially since the little pests eat flowers faster than we can plant them. Except for the pink ones, which they find as appealing as I do, which is not at all.
Some of those molluscs get devoured by the hedgehogs and birds in our garden, of course, but there seems to be an endless supply of slugs. Good for the hedgehogs, bad for the plants.
Anyway, I wasn't aware just how much mum hates those slimy gastropods until tonight, when she picked up six of them in an old newspaper, threw them in a bin and set them on fire.
I learned two things tonight.
One, my mum really, really hates slugs.
Two, burnt slugs really, really stink.
