She has about 30 at the moment - the little ones were born/hatched here in sunshiny South Wales.

Dose she actually rehome them or does she just let them have the best life in her garden?

Not sure how big they are. They're eating dandelions, you can see the flower stems and a few leaves. Bigger than 50p I would think.
She said that some are ready to go to new homes, but I don't know which ones. I think she's hoping that if there are UK bred tortoises available, it may stop the smuggling.

1. My Chiltern seeds order has been despatched.
2. Drawing faces on the political party leaflets that keep arriving. Its like regaining my childhood. Whenever I saw a photo in the newspaper I'd draw on it spectacles, a moustache/beard, a black tooth or two and so on. I'd forgotten I used to do that until I saw these leaflets. They all needed a little "enhancement".
3. I have a Fitness watch (FREE of course) that I've been wearing for 365 days. Apparently the calories that I've burned over the year equal about 77.5 chicken drumsticks! I can't remember the last time I ate a chicken drumstick, at least 30 years ago. Why don't they equate it to bars of chocolate or something else I can relate to?

I have not seen a ladybird all season. The blackfly are thriving as a result. Yesterday rubbing blackfly of young dahlia growth I saw a ladybird larva (only one) having his tea amongst a thick patch of blackfly. I left him to munch in peace. I'm glad there will hopefully one ladybird around somewhen.
