We've had a fantastic long weekend at Greenbelt, a mega arts festival held at Cheltenham racecourse. We arrived on Friday morning and have only just got back, which just goes to show how much there is to see and do there! We camped under the bear flag which flew proudly for the whole weekend.
Greenbelt is always a special place and one of the highlights of our year, but this year it was even more special than the last 2 years we've been, as we met someone we've been waiting a whole year to meet. Can you guess who? Yes, it was our friend Naughty Bear whose blog we discovered at Greenbelt last year and which was the inspiration for our own blog.
Our regular readers with good memories will recall that we'd seen Bear last year having his picture taken but we'd been too shy to say hello. After reading his blog all year and exchanging emails and comments, he's become a real virtual friend, so when we found out he was coming to Greenbelt 2007 we hoped we'd get a chance to meet.
There are thousands and thousands of people at Greenbelt and we bears are too short to see very far ahead, so keeping an eye out for Bear seemed a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, some things are just meant to be, don't you think, and on Saturday evening we literally passed each other.
We were far from shy this year and rushed up to say hello and introduce ourselves.
And here we all are chatting happily and exchanging bear hugs. It was simply great to meet bear and his nutella gatherer and we had loads to talk about. Having virtual friends is great but meeting them in the fur is even better!
Bear has been doing some great postings about Greenbelt and has lots of photos which capture the spirit of this great festival so well, so have a read of his blog which you can easily reach by using the link to Where's Bear in our friends blog spots section.
We'll report on the rest of the weekend soon.
Lots of love George, Yorkie, Chelmer, Rocco and Bris xxx

What a beary happy occasion! Wish we'd been there to witness it in the fur. we had been glued to bear's blog to see if there were any pictures of bear to bear hugs and began to fear the worst, but glad you made contact after all!
