We are writing to thank you, Phyrbyrd, for the beautiful toy, found by my daughter, Amelia, in Patmos Gardens, Todmorden, Lancashire, UK.

We all went for a family walk in the snow on Saturday afternoon and the elephant was half-buried on the side of the path, where only a little person kicking up snow and taking great delight in crunchy footprints on the frosty ground was likely to find her (instead of adults, who scurry through the cold too quickly, huddled up in scarves, desperate to get home for a cuppa!).

Amelia cuddled her elephant all the way home, a cold winter’s day soon forgotten thanks to the warm feeling given to all 4 of us by a small, green elephant.

Thank you so much,
Claire & Amelia.
