No, not Colin the Knitted Camel (who is currently living happily with Wilson's friend Ms Jenny) But Colin the Caterpillar Cake, which is apparently 30 today!
There can't be many kids who haven't – for one reason or another – celebrated their birthday with a Colin the Caterpillar Cake, and Wilson decided that it was time the long-suffering Colin finally got to celebrate his own birthday.
Honestly, in the middle of a pandemic it doesn't take much of an excuse to justify a party, and before long everyone was sitting round singing 'Happy Birth-day Dear Co-Lin…' and waiting expectantly for a slice.
I did draw the line at having thirty birthday candles, though.
As the time to actually cut the cake drew nearer, Wilson announced, 'I just can't do this to Colin – he's been such a good friend to me over the years…' (ignoring the fact that he arrived only yesterday via Tesco Home Delivery) and Nërp had to take over the onerous task.
