Has it been as wet for you today as it has been for us? It’s been a thoroughly miserable afternoon in Norfolk and we’ve not strayed very far. However, a few days ago the weather was better, and two of us, me (Jock) and Dorset Dumpling took a trip over to the marshes at Blakeney. We had a special reason for going there, in addition to the fact that we are partial to taking tea at the Blakeney Hotel. We were on the look out for a suitable new boat restoration project for Bears Unlimited. The marshes and creeks around Blakeney are a good place for us to search as there are a lot of wrecks stranded on the mudflats. All of us bears find it very sad to see what was once a fine boat with lots of character, abandoned and left to rot on a mudflat. We can’t save them all, but as we are all boating loving bears, we like to have a restoration project on the go at any time and we usually do them up so well, we can sell the restored boat for a high price and make a handsome profit. Isn’t it great to have a hobby that can make you money?
We’re not too sure about the boat in the photograph so thought we should ask our readers whether they think we’re up to this challenge or whether the boat is too far gone to be helped? If we do go for it, we will need to call in the waterways specialists at the Midlands branch to provide assistance. Let us know what you think.
By the way, I, Jock, am the cream coloured bear (not really a very practical colour really for clambering round slimy and muddy boats) and at my feet is, not a football or a cushion, but my friend Dorset Dumpling. Unfortunately he doesn’t show up too well as it was a bit overcast when we took the picture. However, Dorset Dumpling is from Dorset and he is a Dumpling, what more is there to say? It just goes to prove, as we have said previously, that Bears Unlimited is a very inclusive company!
Love from us all, especially Jock and DD xxx

Am afraid Rupert & Raj think it is a job for the professionals. Looks like the Mary Rose when she first resurfaced.
Rupie and Raj, you are quite right, but by your astute comments, you have just demonstrated what all of us at the Norfolk branch knew already and have all ready said in this posting and that is that you Rupie and Raj are the professionals and we know with your expert guidance the project will be completed on time and within budget.
Love all at the Norfolk Branch
