A tortoise has been reunited with its relieved owners a month after making a not-so-swift escape from their garden.

Sallyanne Brooksbank said she had all but given up on ever seeing pet Matilda again after she went missing in early July.

However, the 10-year-old tortoise was discovered by walkers in a field three miles from home in Wymondham in Leicestershire on Thursday, and has now been safely returned.

Sallyanne spoke to 麻豆社 Leicester's Ady Dayman.
