Tortoise who escaped to find a mate nearly a year ago at a speed of 0.13mph is found... just ONE mile away
A tortoise who escaped 11 months ago to find a mate at a speed of 0.13mph has been found just one mile away from home. Ginger dug under a garden fence before making a slow getaway across countryside fields in the quest for love, following the death of her longtime companion Fred. She was eventually found behind a pub by a horse rider last week in Stanton, Gloucestershire. Sarah-Jane Muirie, 51, is now celebrating the unexpected return of her beloved pet who she has owned since she was a 10-year-old girl. Devastated by Ginger's disappearance last June, the mother-of-one had initially put up signs around the area but said that she had given up hope after nearly a year without a single sighting. Fearing that she would 'never see' the reptile again after she vanished, Ms Muirie, of Bredon, Worcestershire, said: 'We had another tortoise called Fred who we lost a couple of years ago and a vet friend of mine believes she went looking for a mate. 'It's that time of the year and she's always had Fred so she's dug herself out under the garden fence and through next doors before getting into some fields. 'She is that well camouflaged we thought there's no chance we would ever find her but we put up missing posters anyway.' Almost 11 months after Ginger disappeared, Ms Muirie got the call she was never expecting - a horse rider had discovered the small tortoise behind the Mount Inn pub, just a mile away from home. Initially, given her natural camoflauge, Ginger had been mistaken for a rock. However, after returning to the scene, the horse rider then noticed both a head and legs. Ms Muirie, who believes that her beloved pet was likely in hibernation for at least part of her disappearance, said: 'Amazingly, somebody remembered the posters we put up nearly a year ago and we then got the call. 'At first I thought it couldn't be Ginger but then realised there's probably not too many people around here with tortoises. 'It was amazing to get her back because we thought there was no chance she would survive the winter out there alone.' I genuinely couldn't believe that she survived a year of the wild.' Since being reunited with her family, Ginger has been enjoying the warm weather, finding herself a secluded area where she can sunbathe and eat food. Describing her tortoise's return as 'like a childhood dream come true', Ms Muirie added: 'To have a pet for 40 years, she could outlive me so it means a lot. We're very happy to have her back.' At the end of April, a family in Ulverston, Cumbria, were overjoyed when their tortoise Leonardo, who had been missing for nine months, was discovered a mile away from home. The reptile was found shuffling down a street and was taken to a pet shop, Little Beasties, where staff helped to find its owner, Rachel Etches. Speaking to the BBC, Ms Etches said: 'It was totally my fault; we were out in the garden, we'd just had our second child, I got a bit distracted and he just wandered off out of our sight. 'He's led a very comfortable life for 13 years under a heat lamp in my house, so we didn't think he was going to survive the winter being out for the first time.' She believed that Leonardo may have hibernated for winter and woke up when the weather started to improve. There are an estimated 700,000 tortoises and turtles currently being kept as pets across the UK, with an average of 1.6 per cent of households owning one.

The Möbius Book by Catherine Lacey review – beyond the bounds of fiction
From her debut, Nobody Is Ever Missing, to 2023's Biography of X, Catherine Lacey's work has tested the forms and fabric of the novel with brilliant unease. In The Möbius Book, her experiment crosses the blurred border of fiction into something else. Life writing, autofiction, memoir? Whatever you call it, The Möbius Book is deeply serious and engrossingly playful, and it lavishly rewards serious, playful attention. A Möbius strip is a length of any material joined into a loop with a half twist. It's an uncanny shape, common and obvious, easily created and yet awkward to describe geometrically. For literary purposes, a Möbius is interesting because there's intricate structure and constraint but no ending. It goes around again, mirrored with a twist. Lacey's book takes this literally, the text printed from both ends, with memoir and fiction joined in the middle. Twin stories experiment with plotlessness and irresolution, while remaining aware of the way fiction attaches itself to linear plot and reverts to romance and quest. Characters find and lose love, find and lose meaning. In one half, two women, Edie and Marie, reminisce about their messy love lives and Christian beliefs in Marie's grotty apartment, ignoring the pool of blood forming outside a neighbour's door. In the other half, the first-person narrator leaves a controlling partner, recalls an ascetic adolescence and struggles to write and think about faith with clever friends during lockdown. Lacey is fascinated by literary form and by the metaphors for literary form, finding fiction at once a constraint and a space for play. Late in the day, the narrator, 'with trusted friends who knew how, got tied up and whipped', as 'a rite in all this, the chaos of having more freedom than I knew what to do with'. It's impossible, in a book so preoccupied with crucifixion, martyrdom and self-denial, not to see the image of the twisted Möbius loop in this friendly bondage. The structures of novels and the iconography of Christian martyrdom are both narrative responses to suffering; both offer freedom through constraint. But for Lacey, suspicious of pleasure, the compatibility of faith and art is questionable. The two modes of the book, which I hesitate to call fiction and memoir because neither is wholly committed to realism or reality, undermine each other, with images and anecdotes reappearing in transmuted form. The shadow of the angry, manipulative ex-partner falls across both, challenging the narrator's memories and intentions although, reassuringly, never inviting the reader's distrust. Edie's recounting of a transformative encounter with a dying, talking dog which speaks of the meaning of suffering (is 'dog' a Möbius rendition of 'God'?) is reprised when the narrator attends to a man lying on the street. In the first-person section, the narrator sees Matisse's painting The Red Studio in New York's Museum of Modern Art, 'the red I imagine on the floor of an otherwise white room', reflecting the blood pooling under a neighbour's door that Edie and Marie in the novel section decide is probably 'paint or something'. As the narrator comments: 'Reality at large has never been my subject, but interiority always has been.' Lacey asks large questions about interiority, especially with regard to the subject of Christian faith. For some readers, it may be an alien idea that the sharply modern intellectual rigour on display here could be combined with religious conviction. How can a narrator who can play off Proust against Gillian Rose seriously expect to find consolation in the old myths about the baby in the manger and the man rising from death? It's a question Lacey acknowledges, partly as unanswerable: 'We want to speak of gnosis and mysticism without our phones listening to us and populating browser ad space with advertisements for Goddess Retreats and bogus supplements and acupuncture mats.' Even so, the narrator attempts an exorcism, employs an 'energy healer', is seduced by ideas about magic numbers. 'Symbolism is both hollow and solid, a crutch, yes, but what's so wrong with needing help to get around?' The question is not rhetorical. There's a deep ambivalence in this book about needing literary and philosophical 'help to get around', about whether we're allowed to want or need art, which is related to the narrator's lack of appetite and consequent emaciation. 'I was afraid of the line between basic needs and cravings, between living and lust.' The fear of slipping from necessity into pleasure shapes the distrust of fiction. What if storytelling is for fun? What if we don't really need it? What if only what's necessary is true, or only truth is necessary? Inevitably, the fictional half of this book refuses many of the satisfactions of a novel. Like a miniature homage to WG Sebald's Austerlitz, the present action is mostly the recounting of past events, so that most of the characters, times and places appear only through a conversation between friends. There are complicated, triangular relationships in the background, between characters who never quite take shape, whose voices are only – and unreliably – recalled. Third-person narrative always calls into being a narrator, another layer of artifice, and here the slippage between present, past and past historic tenses also constantly reminds us that this story is at once engaging and not real. The questions are constant, implicit, teasing, elaborated rather than answered in the dark mirror of life writing. They don't go away. You can go round again.
