The Sonnar is new and this is one of the few shots I have had time to take with it. Highlights can be tricky!

They are three member of 'The Gang'! The one in the middle was my bear from when I was born. Before that he belonged to my cousin (who is now 76) and he wasn't new then! The one on the left was rescued by some friends from the world cup held in Germany. Someone had stuck a football to his paws and given him an England shirt. After a delicate (and very tense) operation they were surgically removed; he's much happier now! The little one on the right was rescued from a Christmas display this year and so it's his first Xmas - as you can imagine, he's very excited!
