Monkey business

My sister's favourite animals are all monkeys and chimps and things of that type. I actually took the photo of these guys quite a lot earlier on, but I didn't find a place in my rough schedule for them until here. :)


At the back and left is Monty. Next to him, and doing bunny ears behind his head, is Thomas Hug Monkey, a very debonair monkey knitted by my Nan when the Telewest adverts were popular. The red one, Schweetheart, was originally a TY beanie, and my sister has had him for a while. The last, but definitely not least, is Bocky, who has been with her since she was a day or two old.

I'll never forget what happened when she named Bocky. He was up on a shelf with some books, and she kept saying "Bock... Bock..." and I had to climb up on a chair and look at all the books for her until it finally became clear she wanted the monkey.
