Strangest thing you've come across on your round?

I ask because I'm am quoting on a care home which has a very overgrown garden next week.  They have asked if I am okay with garden snakes!

I'm also quoting for the garden tidy up too. If I stop posting all of a sudden.....

 ;D Best post of the day  ;D

Adders will usually get out of your way just be careful if there's anything lying on the ground pipe like or galvanised roofing or anything else they can curl up or under.

Have you made a will?

If you're trad, you could play snakes and ladders, while you're at it.

Does finding Bob Plumb on your patch count as finding something strange ?  ;D

This might not sound the strangest of things but a fox that sat on the back lawn of a house and calmly watched me clean the windows.

I remember a few years ago posting leaflets in an area I work.
I walked down the driveway at the end of a cul-de-sac and came face to face with a peacock just strolling around bold as brass.  ???
I never did find out who it belonged to?

I was cleaning a new customers bungalow and im not usually one for looking in through the windows but on this one something inside caught my eye through the leaded window.
On the bed was a human arm! I nearly sh** myself.  ???
When I knocked the door for payment the custies missus answered the door and sure enough.........she only had one arm.
The "arm" on the bed was a prosthetic one.  :D

One of my previous customer had a pig instead of a dog, funnily enough its name was pig

Not sure how rare they are but back in February I saw a white squirrel in a garden.

And no, it wasnt covered in snow ;)

I've come across allsorts in peoples gardens, from peacocks to guinea fowl.

Last monday was a bit of an odd day? I was in the countryside & i could see something laying on the road up ahead, turns out to be a dead Roe Deer (buck) with quite a nice set of antlers on his head!

Later that day, a Cock Pheasant took the brute force of the underside of my transit..... and THEN on a road where i have never seen any artic lorry's, three of the buggers came hurtling down the road, of course, i had to move over, & found half of my van on the grass verge (it looked like a landrover - caked in mud)

but i've seen pretty much all there is too see in the country

rabbits, hare, deer (roe, red & fallow), fox, badger, squirrel (red & grey), stoat, mink, otter.... Cows & Sheep ;D

A topless woman asleep on her back in the garden!

A care home for folk with alzheimers, was doing the inside of her room, and I tried to stop her eating what she thought was a Malteser & could'nt.
 (didnt eat my sandwiches later on that day!)

A tortoise on a flat roof extension!! :o
