The Wild One!

Marlon the Snow Monkey is my favourite Christmas visitor.  Every year this little guy, a free gift once with tea-bags, comes out of the box of decorations and hops onto his trusty china Motorcickle.  I loop hair bands round his wrists to stop him from falling off the window sill and int the sink!

Marlon's job is to watch for snow, but this year there has been no need for that, so he has been moving quite freely around the kitchen.

This morning I caught the little devil fleeing the scene of yesterday's party.  He'll be back though; there are poached pears and Jack Daniels left!
