Wally the walrus was fed up with lockdown. He packed his little suitcase, jumped onto the first iceberg he could find and off he went. He visited Ireland first and then moved on to Tenby where he stayed for a while, watching the lifeboat launch, posing for the humans who came to visit him and dining out every day on the delicious local seafood. Now he’s on his travels again. He popped into Cornwall to say hello and then headed off to France, who knows where he’ll turn up next! He is just over 12 inches long - including flippers (when made with the recommended materials).
