Dr Gubbins

Hello, Gertie Gubbins here! I washed my best set of spanners this morning but one's been blown off the washing line. Have you seen it? As soon as I find my map I'm going on a grand expedition to find it. Would you like to come too? I can't wait to show you my collection of favourite things. I've got all sorts of treasure, you know the type of things that you find down the back of your sofa, or the forgotten corners of your attic, along with all the other stuff, fluff, stardust and penguins that have gathered there. Rightio, off we go!
