Description from designer’s website:
There’s Young Wilf for a start with his sailor suit and knitted sand castle, bucket and spade. You can tell how much he loves to be beside the seaside. Wilf is accompanied by Colin, The Red Nose Cockle and Captain, The Red Nose Crab - little design gems in their own right.
