Today is a rather damp day here at The Lodge as rain steadily falls from a uniform grey sky with not much sign of let-up.
But while I faff around putting an umbrella up and down every time I need to go outside there are plenty of other creatures who positively thrive in the rain.
I'm looking at you, snails!
