If you are a fan of the Urchins there is a brilliant Facebook site called Doodles Diaries and it features a little Urchin called Norm with his new pal Doodles, it will certainly make you smile when you see what Norm and Doodles get up to.  This is just a few of the pictures to show you what they get upto, they are always upto mischief.





This is my favourite picture Doodles wrapping Norm up for Christmas.
