A very special visitor to the Ness…

Morph and his creator, Peter Lord on site this afternoon.

The Ness was very pleased today to welcome a special guest to site – well in fact two – Morph and his creator Peter Lord and his family.

Peter is the animator, film producer, director and co-founder of the Academy Award-winning Aardman Animations studio – best known for his clay-animated films and shorts, particularly those featuring plasticine duo Wallace and Gromit. 

Morph was very taken by the site and especially the replica carved stone ball.
