This lovely statue in Princes Street Gardens is Wojtek, the Soldier Bear. Chris was correct and picked out of the hat to win some Christmas cards. Thanks for playing along and there will be another chance to win next week.

I think your sketch this week is of the Polish memorial in Princes Street Gardens. My grandfather was Polish and had to be very brave in the 2nd world war, so I think of him of course whenever I see this lovely statue.
