Going to Greece in May was great as there were lots of lovely flowers around and luscious ripening fruit. It was a real feast for the eyes. How's this for a riot of pink roses?
You can get a feel for the size of this rose by using me as an indicator of scale. There was far more than George could fit in the camera frame. It's a pity they don't grow like that in our garden. Tommy, the Bears Unlimited gardening bear, couldn't believe it when he saw the photo, but wondered if it might be a possibility for him if global warming continues.
As I think I've said before, this was my first trip abroad so I was very excited when I came across oranges and lemons growing on trees.
I couldn't stop myself singing 'Oranges & lemons'. Sadly I didn't know enough Greek to sing it in the native tongue of the locals who didn't appear to have heard a singing bear before and must have wondered what I was singing about!
As the trees were growing in a public playground my minders said it would be o.k. to pick one for my lunch. As it was hand picked by me it was the freshest orange I have ever had.
I wasn't too bothered about picking a lemon, as I wouldn't have wanted to eat one. However, my minders insisted that I pick one, as they thought it would be great to have with their gin and tonics.
I didn't think their climbing skills were quite as good as mine so I happily obliged.
Lots of love Eddie, George & Yorkie xxx

Midlands Branch have been particularly interested in the blogg of late as our only other news of your exploits came from the Suffolk Branch about three weeks ago. We assumed that you did not send us a card because some of us were away at the same time. Surprise, surprise, yesterday a card arrived. It took just a month to get here.
