I always like to buy imaginative gifts (although I don’t often succeed!). In early December I spotted an imaginative Christmas present for Son-in-law Bard. I was searching the trading site Etsy (http://www.etsy.com) when there it was! Unfortunately the rest of the world had the same idea, and despite her best intentions, demand meant that the Hattie Hooker (www.hattiehooker.com), was unable to deliver in time for the festive season. The present arrived last week and Son-in-law Bard seemed well pleased…

I bought Son-in-law Bard a hat,
That I’d seen on line.
It didn’t come for Christmas,
But no, I didn’t whine!
The postman arrived the other day
to deliver an impressive pack
All the way from the USA
I wasn’t sending it back!

So now he looks like a knight of old
At least his ears won’t be getting cold!
