The Ranger received this splendid Christmas card from his friends and erstwhile colleagues at The Motorboat Museum, Basildon:

A Christmas card featuring an octopus

A touching Christmas scene… but wait! What’s this, on the polar bear’s back?

How clever of them to find a card featuring one of The Ranger’s favourite invertebrates, the octopus! The little fellow has even got a bit of festive holly on his head. Perhaps it’s a consolation for having no limbs…
