They might be known for adopting a somewhat lesiurly pace.
But a tortoise that managed to escape from its garden spent a month on the run - before being discovered in a field three miles away.
Owner Sallyanne Brooksbank, 55, had given up on seeing pet Matilda again after she apparently scaled a corgette plant to make her great escape in early July.
But the runaway reptile was discovered in a field by walkers last week, who handed the tortoise in at a local shop.
The shopkeepers then posted a message about the find on Facebook - where it was spotted by Sallyanne.
