While all of our presents were special, there were 2 this year that were a little unusual and caused great excitement.
The first was a gift to boating bear Eddie, and here he is explaining it to his friend and assistant, able seabear Louis ...
... it is a clock, but not a clock as most bears know it. It is a tide clock, with one purpose only, to count up, or down, the hours to high tide and low tide. When you live is an area like North Norfolk which is riddled with marshes and creeks, it is essential to know when high tide is, otherwise you might go out to your boat only to find it high and dry on a mud flat. Eddie is out in his seal boat most days, so will be spending a lot of time looking at his tide clock. He says he thinks it looks great, with its boat picture, as well as being a very useful and practical present.
Our next present was given to us by our minders and their families and it is a present for every member of the Norfolk Branch. Have a look at what Ungi and Blue Bear are wearing round their necks ...
... and you might see they are wearing green and yellow metal badges which are Fakenham Racecourse members badges for 2012. With them we will be able to go to all National Hunt race meetings at Fakenham, and also to many meetings at other courses. We'll be able to access all areas, even the posh stand, and can even park in a special members car park. As horse racing is a fairly new hobby and interest for us, we are all thrilled by this gift and it will give us many hours of pleasure.
We hope you, our readers, received equally special presents - we're sure you did.
Lots of love from all at Bears Unlimited xxx

Do Ungi and Blue Bear get to sneak the rest of Norfolk Branch in to the posh areas too? Hope so!
