Look, it might be sad to some, and I don't care. :D

I was vegging out in front of the TV (yes I'm allowed to sometimes) with a nice glass of Barsac :blink: and the programme "Country Ways" was on. They were doing an article on Lymington. One of the features was a guy who made a living out of making sculptures etc out of steel. Amongst the items they showed was a magnificent lifesize (?) mermaid (Merman, do you know her ? :D ). Also shown were a few items from nature, like a grasshopper and some other "buggy" type things.

I remember being told that the Travel Bugs released by HCC at the event were made by a guy from Lymington.

Looks like that must be him.

Yes, it is the same person who made the HCC travel bugs. His name is Michael Turner.

When I went to his workshop, the mermaid wasn't there but he showed me a picture of it.

His workshop was full of amazing creations.
