    I've got frogspawn.

    OH in Norwich was staying in a converted barn, Apparently on arrival he got tea and lemon drizzle cake, and home made shortbread in a jar by his bed!!!. He's supposed to be on a diet.!!!

    Great newts, Nutimage  Is the crest in their name to do with the ridge on their tail? (And theres me thinking they had crests on their headsimage)

    Down the back and tail chicky. Shows more when they're swimming but my photography is up to that
