Scattered snail shells

I have a bay tree in a large pot. Whenever I find an empty snail shell in the garden I put it on the surface of the soil in the pot and now they cover the soil.

Every now and then the bay tree is blown over by the wind and I have to right it and put back fallen snail shells. This morning I had to lift up the bay tree and collect snail shells from 2 metres away. I think a cat (or perhaps a fox) has been playing with them.

On the way to the shops this afternoon I saw snowdrops in St John's churchyard - not in flower in my garden, though I have a few primroses and violets.
