Just found this warty Common Toad beside the pond in my garden, maybe he’s hungry and looking for a tasty slug snack! #Toad #mygarden #isleofwight

I turned my back and he’d gone into the conservatory but was flummoxed finding his way back into the garden … !!!

Thanks Ellie, his look is more demanding than begging but he got a handful just the same!

The last eruption was actually 2010, but I was there from the beginning of the major eruptions which started in July 1995, before then it had been dormant for 350 years so as you can imagine it caught us all completely unawares. It is still described as ‘active’ and is very closely monitored 🌋

I lost count of the number of eruptions, but when I heard a loud ‘boom’ and the dogs barking then I knew a huge ash cloud would follow…. Amazing and often scary times 🌋

I took this photo when I lived in Montserrat, the little Caribbean island with the erupting volcano. As the volcano grew I was forced to move house four times to escape the danger! Read all about it in my memoir ‘The Volcano, Montserrat and Me’
