So the New Year is finally here, and what cold and icy conditions it has brought with it. We went out this afternoon to get some fresh air and to admire the frosty landscape, but we found it very dificult to stay upright and our paws were slipping in all directions. We began to think we should have asked for skis or crampons for Christmas.
If we didn't get skis and crampons for Christmas, what did we get? We've already said that bears are experts at choosing just the right present, so we thought we might tell you about some of the presents we received. In some instances this will give you an opportunity to find out a bit more about us.
We'll start though with one of George and Yorkie's presents, which will come as no surprise.
What else can you give such a well-travelled pair of explorer bears than the biography of perhaps the world's greatest living explorer, Ranulph Fiennes? In our picture you see George and Yorkie enthusing about this very appropriate gift to their brothers Isaiah and Dale.
George and Yorkie are currently reading this book together as neither could wait for the other to read it first. It is obviously quite gripping as they've hardly been seen since they started reading. While we all admire Ran Fiennes achievements tremendously, we're not sure we'd want to be described as 'mad, bad and dangerous to know'. This is apparently how his propspective father-in-law described him. It's a wonder he ever got married!
We'll be back soon with more presents.
Lots of love, the Bears Unlimited gang xxx

Oh yes it certainly inspired us to get our climbing books out and have another read! We are reading about Everest as we have just been helping our Minders choose their Nepal holiday - they have plumped for the higher up Everest views one on our and Norfolk Branch's recommendation, but haven't decided whether to go for the luxury or basic option. We went on a snowy walk ourselves today and and to wear crampons on our paws to stop us skidding into the river.
Bye for now Isaiah and Dale
