This is nought to do with fibre crafts but interesting anyway (or at least I think so).
On Sunday I was standing admiring the garden when I noticed the contents of a bucket of water moving - I looked closer and realised that there was a pair of toads in there. Of course I grabbed my camera and took a picture, only to realise that they were trying to get out, but because of the smooth sides of the bucket they were stuck. They'd obviously come in via a pile of compost next to the bucket not realising there wasn't a way out.
I called my hubby who topped up the bucket and added a pole (as a sort of toad ladder) and sure enough one climbed straight on to it - the other one was too tired and was beginning to sink so he gave it a helping hand.
they both sat and recovered for a while and have now moved on - hopefully to devour the slugs abiding in the shrubbery!

What cute toads! I'm so glad you were able to save them. We have so few in our yard and the slugs abound. I'm always on the lookout for some to transplant for slug control.
