seriously they are quite mad ! They make me laugh a lot - horsfields are wonderful





And the girls - they eat everything and anything. They even know now to knock over the pots for the weeds. This is not staged they do this all the time in a circle for breakfast lunch and dinner. Peggy is doing well gordon, she is a real favorite and i fight her corner as she is usually last to dinner.






And Spa day

Gorgeous - all of them! Love the spa day pic. How old is that little one now?
I really have a thing about watching mine eat all together and I could stand and watch them until it's all gone, which to be honest, doesn't take long.
Is that a fig tree in front of the greenhouse, Clare?

thanks both. aren't tortoises fantastic. the little one is from Gordon few years ago so I think around 4 now. they are mall and inside cause they are so cute and tiny and I think they would get lost on a couple of blades of grass and panic !!!
Olive Tree Emma - its a bit mad though and the one in greenhouse is artificial because it routinely hits between 48 and 59 degrees but these are crazy old horsfields and they love a reason to dig !!

So nice. I'm thinking of a couple of bay trees to be all posh and adorn each side of the front door but I'm not sure whether to go real or faux topiary...
