This is a simply great day out with loads to see and do and some delicious free samples of food to try in the food hall.
Our first interesting encounter was with one of our wild cousins. Noel was the bravest and got up close to say hello. He didn't get much of a response though and we quickly realised that this bear wasn't alive. His size though did make quite an impression on us and made us feel really small.
We also enjoyed making the acquaintance of one of Randolph's friends. This was a simply gorgeous reindeer with some lovely velvety antlers. We simply couldn't stop stroking them and he agreed to send them to us once they had fallen off. This reindeer is for hire for Christmas events so we think we might just have to find a way to include him in some of this year's Christmas festivities.
At lunchtime we had a special treat. We sampled our favourite brewery's latest offering: Woodforde's Sundew. This was simply delicious and we immediately ordered the biggest barrel they sell for next day delivery to the branch office.
Now, we always make a point of going along to see the Sheep Show. Not surprisingly it is Woolly's favourite part of the show. Although we've heard all the jokes before and know the script off by heart, we simply wouldn't miss it.
This year was rather special though as Woolly was recognised for the fine sheep he is and invited to take part. He couldn't believe his luck as he was invited on stage to meet his heroes.
Woolly reported that Nobby was especially friendly and looked after him well. He was pleased, however, that he wasn't the sheep that got shorn as the summer hasn't been hot enough yet for him to lose his coat.
It was a simply great day out and we have the date for next year in the diary already.
Lots of love from the Norfolk branch xxx

How did that sheep infiltrate your gang without you realising it was a SHEEP and should have nothing to do with BEARS?
Love and disappointment,
