Serious question- does anyone want two 20 year old red foot tortoises? I’m moving house and won’t have a garden for them. Happy to deliver them within a reasonable distance DM with any questions. (They actually belonged to my son but he’s cleared off to live in Australia and left them behind…).

This arrived today. Suddenly it’s the mid eighties again and I’m 20, major crush on Lucy, white 501s and it’s summer. Not bad at all - a lovely record.
