Birgit's Birthday Bash

Our badminton friends Birgit and Wade are very bear friendly and always ensure we have a great time. Do you remember the wonderful things we got up to last year when we went to stay with them at Camp Griem-Leada? The highlight was the glider flight that I (Chelmer) enjoyed with my friend Rocco.

Recently Birgit had a special birthday (us bears are too discrete to mention which one). And so she had lots of people round, including us, for a garden party with musical entertainment provided by the guests.


The first musical act set a very high standard. Birgit performed with her guitar group of 4 guitarist friends. We sat there listening entraced, as you can see from our picture.

Lots more musical people performed after them and the acts ranged from witty words being sung to traditional tunes to a group from Germany singing in German.

I'm sure you're all eager to know what Rocco and I did for our musical offering. Well, the clue should be that Wade is a drumming friend of mine, as you may recall from previous posts.

It was therefore only natural that we joined Wade for a spot of drumming.


First we provided an accompaniment to a male / female duo and then we accompanied Wade's brother who was a cracking guitar player.


We were so inspired by all this musical talent, that we thought that we really should start learning to play the guitar as there is one available for members of the Norfolk branch to use.

And in case you wondering, the party food and drink was pretty fantastic too. The only dampener on the day was the rain which was never far away. Fortunately we did have a collection of gazebos to shelter under and we refused to be driven inside.

Lots of love Chelmer & Rocco xxx
