Hiya all,
Wow these weeks are just flying past, it only seems like yesterday I was uploading week 13.
After a very 'not so well' week, I am finally getting back to full strength and it is back to work for me tomorrow and probably quite a hectic 2 weeks of work. So before I get all wrapped up in that I thought it best to get this week's theme done and dusted.
This idea came to me this morning as soon as I saw the theme announcement. And actually the idea is all thanks to Marts and his week 13 entry of the snail shells. Anyhow, after my comments on his post last night, and the idea of the missing snail, later I went outside and to my surprise saw a slug chomping away on the daffodils in the garden. So I grabbed the camera, took a pic (in the dark I know I must be
.... well I think my neighbours are now convinced I am
) then I uploaded and PM'd the pic over to Martin to let him know that I may have found the escapee at which point Sylvester the Snug was born.
So after all that, and seeing the theme for this week .... I couldn't resist continuing the idea to create a short photo story, which I hope you enjoy
Apologies that the main character is not an 'Object of Desire' and would certainly not make it to pin-up material
, but heyho ..... or should that be HO-HUM where the story begins ......
Without further adieu I present to you ......

Story of Sylvester the Snug by

No creatures were harmed in any way in the making of this story, and Sylvester didn't seem to
object to the shell being placed on his back and was quite the 'model'
Credit to Marts for planting the idea, thanks.
My son thoroughly enjoyed me reading the story to him and now has a keen fascination with slugs and will most probably be telling everyone at school tomorrow about Sylvester the Snug
I will not bear any objections to people leaving comments or critique, so please feel free to do so (all will be much appreciated).
Thanks for taking the time to read and I hope you have enjoyed week 14 as much as I have enjoyed composing it.
Also thank you for the continued support and encouragement each week, I am learning so much by doing this project.
Cheers
Dawn
