I wrote a song about slugs. Maybe I’ll pop it on here when I get back home. It was inspired, if that’s not too grand a word, by our experience in moving from the desert-like conditions of South Yorkshire to the more fertile lands of the West Midlands, where the garden pests grew to an enormous size. The tune was taken from Gary and Vera Aspey’s setting of Cicely Fox Smith’s “From the North”, so I originally called it “From the heart”. We now call it The Warwickshire Slug-hunting song, or just Slug.
