Hooray! It’s new Beastie time again! And who’s this battling his way through the undergrowth?
He definitely seems to be looking for someone! Oh, wait…
…There they are! That must mean it’s time to unpack the picnic…
YUM!!
And there was just enough time after lunch for me to take some studio photos of these Beasties and their accessories! For starters, Cool Dad Beastie is a big Munster Rugby fan, and can usually be seen wearing his favourite team jersey…
… And his luxuriant beard is the envy of all his monster friends!
He also has everything his family needs for a day out exploring – they love to go camping together!
And what about our beautiful Beastie Mum?
Well, she’s super-proud of her little one, and has wrapped him up in a cosy hand-knitted blanket to keep him toasty!
She’s a rugby fan too… but she’s a Leinster girl! Let’s hope there aren’t any fallings-out on match day!
Oh, and check out the back of their shirts…
Yes, I know there’s no 17th player on a rugby team, but what a sweet way to commemorate their baby’s birthday! Definitely one for the family album!
And since we’re talking about families, it seems like a good time to say a big thank you to my own nearest and dearest! Your photographing, word-spreading and general support is very much appreciated… the Beasties and I consider ourselves lucky to have you all on our team!
