I don't really know what to say here. You've all been very kind, thanks so much for all your words they mean a lot. I still have some space left, but I am saving that for an extension to the hermanns and horsfields enclousures next year. Kate, if you like pasta then yes I can cook :P
Pretty much finished now. You can't really see the wire along the hedge, but it has boards along the bottom and so they can't see through it. It needs a bit of tweaking, but I will do that over the next few weeks as the torts settle down. Here it is from the bottom of the area. Then a close up of the top area - slate basking/feeding area, bark area and the coldframe, which leads to a strip of concrete and then a small greenhouse. See the tortoises? And one of Bonnie as she started exploring.

Thanks Kelly, arghh not THAT word
Thanks Linda, hopefully they will be happy in there. Thanks Linz, you always make me blush Thanks Deb, the whole of that part of the garden is looking great now. I must try and get a pic of a few of the enclosures together.
