It's our first anniversary! A year ago the three of us were adopted by our current loving owner and saved from being dumped in a freezing canal by our cruel first owner. She saved our lives as we would have literally frozen to death in couple of hours. 
in sub zero temperatures
She must have been mad, agreeing to take on three turtles with 30 minutes notice without having a clue what to do with them ::)or feed them! We spent our first few days in a large plastic crate kept warm by hot water bottles and covered with a duvet at night till she got us a water heater and lamp.Still it was warm indoors and at least we were alive and we were now being fed every day.Luckily a nice man called Wayne from Turtle Rescue was on hand with lots of good advice to mke sure we got a balanced diet and were cared for properly.
A year later we are alive and well with lots of other turtle friends who have come to join us -Prince, Sheldon, Leo, Donna,Mike and two cute little baby yellowbellies. We have an outdoor covered pool safe from cats
with an escapeproof exercise pen in the garden in summer and a large heated indoor tank in winter . Life is good!
