Nanna makes me lots of knitted friends, from ancient sea turtles to tiny snails. Each one is unique and made with love, the best ingredient for special friends. You will get to many of my friends as you follow my adventures.
When I went to Venice I met Clarabella (the cat), Tomasina (another cat), Sam (or otherwise known as Salvador the Seagull) and Hieronimo (a mouse). Even though I was in Italy, where everyone speaks Italian, I was lucky that people were kind to me and spoke in English. I practiced some Italian words before I went on my holiday and found ‘Buongiorno’, which means ‘good morning’, to be the most useful one.
In The Messy Bath Monster I dove deep down into the ocean to discover some very helpful friends, Octopus (the Octopus), Byron (the crab), Wilhelmina (the whale) and Flossy (the fish).
