Super Ted to the Rescue

It was very hot in the greenhouse, so when we emerged, we were ready for a bit of refreshment. En route to the excellent refreshment area and a delicious cream tea, we stopped to admire the bear sized apple tree ...


... it was an easy bear climb (my climbing skills aren't quite up to George & Yorkie's) and it was great to be able to reach the apples without any human assistance. The garden owner had suggested I give her apples a try and boy were they refreshing!

It's amazing how a spot of refreshment brings the senses back alive. We both suddenly realised we could hear muffled cries for help. We hurried off to investigate and were only just in time.


The owner of this hand was slowly slipping out of sight. Clearly there was a problem and there wasn't time to think about whether an ancient mine shaft had been discovered or global warming had turned Norfolk into a giant bog - we had to act quick.

For a small bear Henry had great strength, and his mighty haul recovered a rather dusty and begrimed body to the surface. We knew exactly what was required to effect a quick recovery, one of those marvellous cream teas. One mouthful and no-one could help but feel better.

Having heard the recommendation, our new friend insisted on buying us another cream tea as a reward. Who were we to refuse?!

Lots of love, Tommy & Henry xxx
