Trevor has been out this week. We just need to build his house up so that we can put a heat lamp in there and sort the net out now.

We have just returned from menorca where we went on a wild tortoise search! Some of the residents in our appartments had seen about 6 in scrub land across the road from where we were staying and the receptionist told us that you often see them.  We were not lucky enough to see any but I could certainly see why they would love to live there - lots of cacti, mallows, grasses lovely hot rocks to bask on and little caves to shelter in.  It was very Inspirational and watch this space as I have brought back some seeds and I will  try to recreate a touch of menorca in my back garden. 

We went to Kenya last year on safari and the guide assured me we could see wild tortoises but we weren't lucky enough to see any :-( Where did you get the 'Beware of the tortoise' sign? It's great!!!

Hi Helen the sign is from a web site called shelled warriors. Kenya is somewhere I would love to visit, I bet it was wonderful, even without the tortoise spotting.
