Sorry, a bit late with this post this year, should have been up a couple of days ago.
The tortoise has eventually decided to come out of hibernation.
So there you have it folks. The LB seasonal change indicator says it’s spring. Go enjoy while it lasts.

Marvelous. I’ve just got back from a blast to Brighton and it’s lovely out there. As it’s my day off I might do the same this afternoon.
YAY!!

Name? Who gives an effink tortoise a name? It’s not likely it’s going to come to heal when you call. (If nothing else, they are almost stone deaf.)
For the last 60 odd years the nearest it’s had to a name is “Tortoise”. Seems adequate.
Good news… now can you make it rain for the next couple of weeks, just in Epsom so that I don’t get jealous while I recover? 
ok i’ll name it for you.
from today she will be Shell The Tortoise. mr or mrs as i dont know if its a boy or a girl.

Great news! We were waiting to hear this OG. Hope she’s around for many more:)
