A blustery day P1030832 P1030831

saw us heading for Sorede, to the “Happy Valley” and home to the TORTOISES !!

Here is their web site, the translation is a bit off, but the information on all the species is good.

We were fortunate to arrive just before feeding time, which was a real treat (and the wind had dropped a bit!)
