Who is Harold !! well he is our tortoise who is almost 50 years old. he hibernates in his house bedded in hay in a protected corner of the patio just outside the casement door. He will normally be heard scrabbling around in Feb but wasnt expecting him to show his shell then because of the cold weather, Been getting concerned he may have popped his clogs!! but was reluctant to open the door to check him OH said leave him alone,If he has died theres nought you can do about it !!,BUT got back this morning from driving OH to Church and saw he had knocked the board down from the inside, on the mesh side of his hutch.(he has a large Rabbit hutch for his house that he will go in and out of as he wants.)
What a relief .he was champing at the bit to get out and is now wandering around the patio,
