I am pretty sure that this little guy was a gift for Martin from his parents. He’s kinda funny looking in a cute way…

This is a silver cocktail shaker in the shape of a penguin… When I saw it, I had to get it! I gave it to Martin for Xmas…

Origami penguin

This is an origami penguin pack. We have two of them. I got one for Martin for Xmas, as did my parents the same year. Neither have been opened as we don’t have the time (or possibly the patience) to make them!

Are you my mummy?

This is a book, in Greek, about a penguin. We are pretty sure that it is a version of ‘Are you my Mummy?’. It is an absolutely gorgeous book. It was a Xmas gift fom Peter and Lyndall.

Google translator says it is “My Mama, I love you”. The blurb underneath the penguin says it is a touch and feel book! Which would be right as the penguin is furry! I still think it is a version of ‘Are you my mummy?’ as the penguin goes off to see a lion, a turtle, a giraffe, a peacock, a dolphin, and finally his Mummy… so unless he is telling each animal how much he loves his mum, then I am pretty sure he is asking each of them ‘are you my mummy?’…

Of course, now we feel like translating the whole book – but we are tired – so maybe some time in the future!

Penguin lolly bowl

This is a ceramic penguin lolly bowl. It does look quite a bit like a very small penguin urinal! It was a Xmas gift from my parents…

Gus and Waldo

Gus and Waldo are penguins. This is their book of penguin sex. It is strange, yet you cannot look away… We saw it and it had to become part of the collection…
