Five years on it would need a dinosaur in the living room to get our attention. The one thing that still spooks me is when I go outside when it's still dark and an owl screeches right in my ear - it's had me throwing myself to the ground more than once. Like you say, all part of the fun! When we first arrived in France I was often traumatised by big snakes, apparently poisonous salamanders, and a whole range of spooky scary noises.

One day we surprised them by returning home with a 5 foot grass snake we had picked up and saved from the middle of the road. another day we had saved a tawny owl which had got caught up in one of our bird cages, our sons soon learnt that they never knew what creature would turn up next , but thats the beauty of living in France.
