This is Merv. He can be tad shy and reserved, well until he gets to know you anyway. Merv is very thoughtful, and just like his cousin Morris rather sensitive. He likes to listen to Mozart as he drinks homemade lemonade through a paper straw. He is afraid of ladders.
It should go without saying that Merv is a passionate Sydney Swans supporter, and after last weekend has been feeling a little melancholy.
Not to worry. Hanging out with his friends Trevor and Victor always cheers him up.
Project notes: pattern by Jess from Pip’s first book, Meet Me At Mikes which I borrowed from my local library. Merv’s eye colour is amber, unlike his cousin Morris who has yellow eyes.
