We're sure you're all eager to hear about our travels of last month. It was our big trip of the year, and saw us heading overseas.
It all started very early on a Sunday morning: 5.00 a.m. at Gatwick to be precise. Normally we find the wait between check-in and take off a bit tedious, especially when we've a touch of 'bear with a sore head', having been forced to get up early.
However, on this occasion, the airport experience was a lot more fun than normal. We had a new bear friend to thank for this. Here he is ...
He was Rodney, the Harrods bear, and what a smart bear he was. We tried not to get his crisp white shirt dirty from our dusty paws, and we loved the feel of his plush green jacket. He had lots of interesting stories to tell as he sees a lot of life from his vantage point outside the store. He told us that although he is for sale, his price tag of £1,652.15 puts a lot of people off buying him, so he has been standing outside the store for quite a long time. We think for a bear as fine and smart, not least to say, as large as him, he is worth every penny. He certainly made our large friend Blue Bear look small, which is usually quite hard to do.
We'd have loved to take Rodney with us, but we would definitely have needed an extra seat and sadly the plane was full. We did remember to send him a postcard though.
Find out, where our postcard was from, next time.
Lots of love, George, Yorkie and Eddie (a clue!) xxx
