MONKEYING AROUND

Jon and Tina Henderson of Oregon Park have been providing local residents with daily joy over the lockdown by showcasing their monkey performing different tasks on their driveway to entertain passers-by. They said: “We were inspired after hearing about someone up in Manchester at the beginning of lockdown who was keeping his neighbours smiling with two giant teddy bears who were posed with cement mixers, wheelbarrows and the like. We thought ‘hey, we have a giant monkey and could do that!’ – so the idea was born and Monkey made his debut on 6 April. Monkey has had several letters from local residents and everyone leaves with a smile on their faces after seeing his daily antics.” Well done for spreading the joy Jon and Tina!
