    Must have sneaked into the open bag, when I tipped some out I thought that was a funny lump and nearly gave it a squeeze to break it up! Wasn't expecting a toad.

        A few weeks ago I had just put a tray of sweetcorn on the passenger seat to take it to my plot for planting out when I noticed it had a frog sitting amongst the plants! I went to grab it but it jumped, luckily out of the open door, then under the car.

        I couldn't drive off with it under the car with it liable to get squashed, plus I wanted that frog back in my garden, so spent 15 minutes getting my hands on it, and having to explain to passing neighbours that I wasn't having problems with the car, only a frog.
