Hello from me and my son

Hi everyone
I have been browsing this site for a while and am a member of some of the tort groups on Yahoo groups, so you may recognise my sign in.
My boy and I are preparing to get a tort, we are taking it very slowly, I am doing lots of research, signing up to the tortoise trust web course and this week prepared our out door enclosure and table as a half term activity.
We would ideally like a rehomer, hermanns or horsefield I think, but we really cant wait !!!!!
My sons really got into this and has said that he wants to pay to do the online course his self (as I said he maybe too young at 7 years old)
I will be bugging you folk and generally be nosey at all the posts. Loving the enclosures section its given us really good inspiration.
Samantha and Cameron

Hi, your in the right place to get lots of ideas. You certainly seem to be organised and doing the right thing taking it nice and slow and getting sorted befiore getting your tortoise. Make sure you ask loads of questions, even if you think they seem silly, and when you do get a tort keep us all up to date.

Hi Samantha and Cameron!

Wow sounds like you've been busy! Feel free to bug people, we all bug each other with questions on here!

Sorry if this is a personal question but what does your log in mean? I just ask as I see part of it is 'lovegrove'. That's my married surname and it just caught my eye! Apparently there's loads about, but I've never met another one (except my in-laws, of course!).

Have Fun!

Hi everyone
Its so nice to get a welcome!

Verity, Lovegrove was my Great Grandmothers maiden name and I just love it, when I married my hubby we actually contemplated taking it on as our married surname, as Naylor isnt half as romantic!!!! So Im very jelous you are an actual Lovegrove, maybe your inlaws are distant relations of mine!
Araminta Lovegrove is sort of a psudonym that I have a aquired from my clubbing, young, free and single days.
