A CREATIVE Sedgemoor family are hoping these handcrafted giraffes prove a straw thing!

The Heal family, of Over Stowey, built the straw giraffes for a competition run by breakfast giant Weetabix.

Last year they won the same competition with a straw lion and picked up £2,000 prize money.

Mum Wendy said: “We were going to go on holiday but we haven't managed to yet; but if we win again we are definitely going away!”

Pictured with the giraffes are Tom, Ollie, Wendy and Matthew Heal.
