It's Saturday morning once again and that means it's time for another weekend teaser. 
The last two teasers were identified first guess; I wonder if this one will suffer the same fate? 
Here it is, but waht, exactly, is it?
Happy guessing!

I rather like the "snail's home" Norm; yes it's a snail shell, but what kind of snail?

Well, spot on!
I'd have happily accepted 'Garden Snail' Munzly, but you're absolutely right. Yet another teaser falls straight away, since Norm was also on the right lines.-

I have an early novel which has snails for heroes, it never got finished - it was intended as fantasy-fiction for my kids - but it's best not to talk too much about early attempts at writing.

That's interesting; most people would think of snails as unwelcome guests, not heroes. They're good to eat though.

I gave them the persona of little knights in armour. Of course it was all slow-motion, especially the jousting mounted on war-slugs.
The baddies all had pointy shells like whelks

Brilliant idea; you certainly have an active imagination.

I've just remembered, the baddies were called the Escargot. It was my first attempt at writing fiction back in 1985, but it got a poor reception from the kids, in that they refused to read anything suggested by a parent, so I gave up on it.
It wasn't until I was off sick in 1997 that I got back to writing again. But my now grown up kids are still as awkward as ever, but as they have kids of their own, I can conspire with my grandkids to be as awkward back - revenge! hee hee-

I'm hoping it'll be quite a while yet before I have grand-kids of my own, but I like the idea of gaining revenge on the offspring through them when they finally appear; there's something very poetic about it.
I'm really glad you came back to writing; as you know I've been enjying your Mardlingham Saga.-
