6th bear leaves for Massachusetts!

A thousand bear-hugs to Anja in America who has homed yet another Bovis Bear!

   The little blonde chap flew out on Tuesday (a day behind schedule unfortunately). The gang is getting smaller!

When i told him he was going to live with his great friend Valentino (a little grey fleece bear), not to mention three other of his forebears, he begged me to splash out on his airfare so he could be there a.s.a.p.
      So i did!!! With any luck, he'll be having tea and biscuits with his Bovis family (and seven pussycats!) before he can say there's no place like home three times.

   [On a slightly visceral note, i'm waiting for a consignment of eyes and noses... more bears coming soon!]

  Many thanks, Anja - i hope the little lad is with you very soon and isn't too boisterous after his journey. X

Young bear leaves for Torquay!

The tiniest bear so far (only 3 and a half inches when standing) left for Torquay yesterday. It's the first Bovis Bear to move to the West Country. He's going to love the pasties and ice-cream. Lucky bear!

 Cream Teas! Sea! Marvellous!

 He actually received news of his posting on Sunday but unfortunately, had been A.W.O.L since the 'Bye Portrait before last - i suspected NoNo had made off with him but during a finger-tip search of the bears' room, he was found nestling (snoringly) in their folded up photo blanket. Thank heavens for that!

We were interrupted by Safko. Must have been his turn...

   Have a smashing life little, tiny bear!
