Hope you find her soon. Don't lose hope, my tortoise turned up 7 years after he went missing. Good luck.

Shan't loose hope,have put up posters and will do a leaflet drop over the next week.
Don't think we shall see her until its a bit warmer,its freezing here today,7c and biting wind.
There are plenty of dog walkers around here,mind you there are a million hiding places to.

Gud Luk! lets hope she has the sence to dig in which I'm sure she will do this weather.
Keep looking she's there somewhere. Contact the local school see if you can mount a search on that green you talk about, maybe the 'head' of school will see it as a challenge for the kids. Pin photos/Posters up (if you have some) all over, contact your local Radio Station ask them to do an announcement for people to watch out for her. Put posters in the local Pubs/Clubs/library/Church/Post Office and anywhere else you can think of.
Please let us know if you have any luck

Hi,Rosie has come home to roost,actually she hadn't left, she had dug down in her secure outdoor enclosure.
Beats me how you can lose a horsefield in a 10x6 enclosure with no sign of any digging or disturbed soil.
