Even though it’s still quite chilly here in the UK, it’s that time of year again when you hear the geese returning from the South. Their calls always take me straight back to one of my favourite childhood films— the one about the girl who adopts a flock of goslings and teaches them to fly.
That little memory is what inspired Eggbert, who now sports the sweetest bow imaginable. I added a tiny button band to his bow so I can switch out the colours
whenever I fancy, giving Eggbert a fresh, stylish update whenever the mood strikes.
