Barmy Ben

Just to prove that Joe does not spend all waking moments attached to his DS (see yesterday!), 'this' had to be the shot for today.

Meet 'Barmy Ben' as christened by Joe. This was my Christmas present from my 8 year old son. He designed the bear himself, chose the colour of the fur (blue is my favourite) and blanket stitched it all with minimal help from his Dad. He even stuffed the nose. It was then stuffed into an empty cornflake box and wrapped before being put under the tree.

In the interests of sibling rivalry I will post a picture of Lou's gift to me tomorrow.!
