The best caption will win this cute little penguin holding a
holly tatting shuttle
To make it fair I will not be the judge, instead I will get somebody quite independent who doesn't know any of you in blog land! Also you have up until the 8th January to take part, the winner will be announced a few days later as I will have to give my judge suitable time to choose the best caption.
This picture was taken by a local newspaper photographer when I was very small, and the caption read "Orphan of the Storm". My parents had left me whilst they went skating, from what I have been told. Your caption doesn't have to be that short, only please don't make it too long, short and snappy is often the best.
So good luck and to get you into a penguin mood this is a calendar designed by the cartoonist Chris Masters of Eric the penguin fame, and it hangs in the garage to remind 'Im in there' that the temperature is very low at the moment, in fact just right for penguins!
Before I waddle off just thought you might like to know what the strange looking object in my last post is going to be used for, thanks to those who tried to guess, some of the answers were hilarious. Well as you can see it is a cuff link holder, that fooled you!
WISHING YOU ALL A PEACEFUL
AND HAPPY 2011
AND HAPPY 2011
