Happy Yuletide Dragons

Like most small dragons, Bentinck is quite at adapt at climbing trees.

My late Yule tide arrival

This rotten flu bug going around the family has really taken it's toll this Yule tide season and we cancelled all our original plans as everyone concentrated on getting well but at long last we managed to gather for a little home party to swap our gifts and enjoy a pleasant meal together as the new year unfolds. This little beauty was my Yule time present and he's a little darling, the biggest of my dragon brood so far from Bobby's Bears who can be find on Face Book or attending at various bear fairs around the country. Continuing my theme of naming the dragons after local pits where I imagine they've been found, I've named him Brookhill after the pit my grandfather worked at in his later years. As he worked in the baths I thought the colour blue was ideal and I'm sure this dragon loves splashing about in the water when given the chance.

A little bundle of red arrives in the post.

Introducing one of the newest arrivals in to the Dragon nest. Again made by Bobby Bears this little darling is of the sitting or standing variety. He's got a coat of mottled red, orange and yellow mohair and his stitching is golden. Currently he's called Ember and I've fitted him in with my hearth collection of dragons but I'm not sure with his colouring if he's like to join in with the garden group. Struggling to think of a name for him though that would be appropriate, the first one that comes to mind is Rose of course due to his colour but trying to think of a more boyish name which is difficult with flowers. He may just stay Ember unless I can come up with another name I like.
