Olga the Goose has flown a long way from the North to join us at Burford (in fact she was created in France!). She is tenderly designed with a comforting shape that is just perfect for hugging, and has an amusingly triangular, goosy bottom. With stuffing as soft as down, she is covered with velvet and has a silkily textured, furry tummy. The blue insides of her enfolding wings are spangled with gold stitches, like the constellation by which she navigates – stars that match the twinkle in her kind eyes.

Should Olga run into a spot of bother in the garden, her feathers will be unruffled by a turn or two in the washing machine, just in time for a bedtime hug.
