Snail Box     You could NOT make this up.    And I didn't!   

A colony of snails, escargot here in France, have moved into the hedge behind our Mail Box. Finding a gap somewhere in our Mail Box which we can't find the squatters have converted it into a Snail Box condominium.

They're on a slippery wicket (sorry!), but should be aware my dear voisins could quickly invite them to dinner. On their menu. Meantime the lititle blighters have taken a fancy to eating paper. Yes, you heard, or rather read correctly. If one of the lititle blighters eats a cheque then they are definitely heading for a warm ride in the company of garlic and butter.        

I have a better idea than to snitch upon them though. I'm going to train them to recognise envelopes with Bureau des Impôts (Tax Office) printed large at the top. They can munch on those.
