The snake you saw was probably Norman Baker
Just looked on the Internet and I now think it was probably a slow worm. If it come out again I will name it Norman in his honour!
So infact I saw a legless lizard rather than a snake.....and according to the pages I have just read they are often killed by cats.....slow worms eat slugs so they are welcome to set up home in our garden
