My little dragon...

There are some inanimate objects that cry out to me more than others. Sometimes when I am walking along a beach a pebble or piece of driftwood will call my name and I have to pick it up, pocket it, and take it home.

I was in Southport yesterday and, as I wandered around one of the many shops, this little chap caught my eye. He was the only one of his kind that I could see in the shop and there was something about him that seemed to say ‘take me home. I want to be your friend’.

Well, what could I do? He’d reached out to me and besides he was in the sale at only a fiver.

‘Come on old fellow,’ I said as I took him out of the shop, ‘let’s get you home and find you a nice place to sit in the sunshine.’

So here he is, my little dragon on the red brick seat that I made him high on the wall of my back yard enjoying the sunshine. He doesn’t have a name yet, so if anyone wants to suggest one please feel free to do so.

Looks happy doesn’t he?

  6. Three suggestions Paul! There's no prize you know, unless you call a night with Carol Vorderman a prize.
