Travels of a Bear (with splendid fur!)

Happy Christmas everyone!

Added on 24 December 2024

Hello dear reader, and a Happy Christmas to you!

Big Ted with his Christmas presentsI have had a lovely year, with various holidays and outings. I have been to new places and met new people. Uncle Les has taken lots of photos of me and Auntie Fiona has helped me put them (that's the photos, of course) on this website  and to write all about them (again, it's the photos I'm talking about).

I've had a lovely Christmas with two special presents: a tiny chocolate bear ('cos I'M a bear - and if you haven't noticed that already, well harrumph!) and a wonderful calendar for 2025 full of pictures of ME sitting on church fonts! Auntie Fiona says I should see if I can remember where each picture was taken. I'm not sure that I can, I have visited an awful lot of St Mary's churches and sat on an awful lot of fonts (and some were more comfy than others).

Hopefully, next year I will be getting out and about again. I have heard rumours about two holidays to put in my new calendar, but I haven't heard the details yet. I have Winter to hibernate through first.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

P.S. I think the cover photo for my calendar was taken in St Mary's in Wivenhoe, Essex (that's St Mary's number 437, visited March 2023 for those of you paying attention). It was a comfy font!

P.P.S. Now, how do I get into this chocolate bear without getting chocolate over my splendid fur?
