As the Teenage Ninja Turtles used to say "Kowabunga!"
During our holiday in Cyprus, my children suddenly discovered that they had a companion swimming along beside them. Of course they came straight out to let us know and by this time the little chap had swam to shore and was drawing a crowd.
We quickly alerted the beach life guard, who called the Turtle sanctuary. It turned out this little chap had had some sort of a knock, or collision and was a little disoriented, so they took him back to the sanctuary to recover, before being released back in to the sea.
Cyprus boasts the only beaches in the Med where two endangered species of turtle reside, the Loggerhead and the Green Turtle.
So in celebration of our new friend I have decided to have a turtle power Folksy Friday!
And taking a quick look on Folksy for Turtle themed items, I was not disappointed!
My own little addition is this Hematite Turtle Keyring or Handbag charm
