	Harold the aged sixty plus tortoise is awake Is actually a female Greek spur but only discovered that last year Has been with us since 1968 and was daughters pet that stayed after she married Named Harold because Harold Wilson was prime minister then and hubby said the tortoise was slow like him! It’s always a phew every year when she comes out of hibernation <3 :-D

	She went down late Oct so has had a long sleep I bed her down in hay inside a big box inside her house I insulate around and under the box . Hay under and foam insulating beads each side and behind it The box has a lid with several holes in it Her house is then sealed up so nothing can get in to hurt her She gets checked every so often to check she is ok
