Default Summertime

I have been having an absolute nightmare with imgur at the moment. Every time I try and post a BB code for forums, the photos are coming out ridiculously huge, so I’ve given up on that idea and hope this will give you a direct link to the photos uploaded to imgur of my torts lapping up the good weather.
I loved seeing Clare’s this week and I’m always intending to post photos but life keeps getting in the way, so I can cross this off my to-do list now.
Hope everyone is keeping safe and well and enjoying watching torts and turtles enjoying the summer.

Oh my! What a nice place for tortoises to live! I especially love the first picture with the tortoise taking a big bite!

Lovely pictures Emma and fantastic weeds so good to be able to get all the torts outside with the weather better.

It's starting to look a little less green in there now, Lynn. They have certainly been having a feast each day.

Thanks Mary, I love having them out and watching them wander, eat, bask and sleep.

Well, they pretty much destroyed anything edible fairly quickly. The hebes, rosemary, lavender and sedge remain though so always lots of woody places to dig underneath.

Thanks Suze. I always think of Phoebe when Esme has her birthday in June each year. Phoebe was only a few days younger wasn't she?
You must be sad to be moving on a couple of your margies but I expect they're getting big now.

Phoebe is looking like a proper little Herman now, but sadly I haven’t made a very good job of growing her, she is a little bumpy , just the scutes on the very top, but she is still a nice looking tortoise.

When I hatched poppy and lulu, it was never with intention of keeping them, I just haven’t got round to finding homes, but now hopefully I have found a lovely home, so I’m ok with it, so long as it’s the right home, and I’m very fussy !
