We were disappointed bears on Tuesday, when the frosty weather meant that the racing at Fakenham had to be abandoned due to a frozen course. Naturally we didn't want any horses hurt, so it was completely the right decision, but we had so been looking forward to wearing our members badges, that, as you will recall from a recent post, we were thrilled to receive for Christmas. Never mind, hopefully they'll be able to re-arrange the event soon, and we would have got very cold watching if it had gone ahead.
Closer to home, the recent gales have wreaked a fair amount of havoc in the garden.
The most obvious damage is that we now have 3 fence panels down giving our garden rather more than an open plan feel that we would like.
We're now able to see right through to the churchyard we adjoin; at least our the neighbours are quiet and don't have dogs!
We will need to send a work party out soon to do some repairs as gardening bear Tommy is worried that there will be plants underneath that might be squashed and will certainly be wanting some light. On the plus side, under the fence panel will be a nice sheltered area for any animals needing a warm and dry place to rest. Fortunately the flat panel just missed a clump of snowdrops and some good news is that the aconites, Tommy's favourites seem to be spreading with a new clump close to a bit of fence that is still standing ...
We've decided that we need to escape to warmer climes, so this week, many of us will be heading off on a new adventure, to research a new chapter for the Friendly Planet Guide. We can't wait.
Lots of love, all at Bears Unlimited xxx

Oh dear Norfolk Branch - you seem to have had much worse weather than Suffolk Branch! Mind you you'll soon be a melting Malteser so these stormy climes and frozen race courses will be left behind. Hope you get your fence fixed soon!
