My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published four books - Dead Flies and Sherry Trifle, My Father and Other Liars, Salisbury Square and Buster & Moo. In addition I have published three anthologies of short stories and a memoir of my mother. More will appear soon. I will try and continue to blog regularly at geofflepard.com about whatever takes my fancy. I hope it does yours too.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
I loved our tortoise, but sadly he/she died of pneumonia. That was awful to deal with. But the kids buried her in the back yard(they were 4 and 5 at the time.) In the spring they came in and announced she had gone to Heaven. When asked how they knew they confidently replied “We dug her up and she was gone!” Loved guest grandmothering your tortoise.
They are the most modest pets I could imagine. Outside all day, no mess, just running around, searching warm and sunny places, eating, sleeping… and they are happy!
