Well worth going along if you can, Dillon and Eleanor really know there stuff and have many tales to tell. Our Burmese Brown's come from them and so does my Sulcata. The pics both myself and my hubby (Mr Brown) have posted of adult Browns and Sully's have been both Dillon's and Eleanor's, so you've already had a sneak peek.

This was a great meeting with over 35 people turning up and it was lovely to meet Eleanor, Dillon and some of their beautiful tortoises. The Burmese Brown is lovely.

A great afternoon, with excellent speakers, Eleanor and Dillon. What lovely people, coming from quite a distance which was very much appreciated, as were the various Cactii I managed to snag from their stall. Still gutted about the big one, though, whoever you were that got there first...Dave, you should have moved faster.

Lovely cakes provided by Wendy, thank you, including the one baked that morning, told you it would be ok!

Vicky, must have missed you, maybe next time eh?
