Our Handiwork Revealed

It's time to reveal our newly made over Bear Cave. We hope you think our handiwork was worth the effort.


As you can see we've gone for a cool blue to match Blue Bear's fur and to give us a chilled out feeling while we drink our pints of Wherry. We've gone for quite a minimalist look which helps to make the room seem bigger. This is quite important when there's as many of us as live in our bear cave.

To bring you right up to date, Eddie is currently very excited as he's about to depart, with some others of us, on a new adventure of a watery variety. He's also showing, for the first time, the display of plaques, from previous of his adventures on the inland waterways, that he is making up. He'll give you a close up look when it's finished.


It may be that you hear from other members of the Norfolk branch while Eddie and the rest of his travelling party are away, but in case you don't, please don't worry if we're off air for a short while. Just like Arnie .... 'we'll be back'.

Lots of love, all at Bears Unlimited xxx

Bear Cave Make-over

We came back from our visit to the Midlands branch, to put the finishing touches to our make-over of our Norfolk bear cave.

Many paws have been working very hard at the transformation.


It tends to be a rather messy operation when bears arm themselves with a paint brush. The walls tend to fare rather better than us: they come out of the process looking immaculate, while, if we're not careful, we can end up with very strangely coloured fur. It therefore becomes necessary to search through our minders' rag bag and swathe ourselves in large t-shirts. It works a treat and we frequently give old t-shirts an inadvertent new lease of life in the process - something to do with retro 70's psychadelic styles.


It's always important to have an effective supervisor to ensure everything is properly co-ordinated and that we don't end up trying to implement too many contradictory ideas. On this occasion, Ungi did a great job for us, and we could tell he'd been watching lots of Property Ladder and Grand Designs type programmes.

We bet you can't wait to see the finished result. Rest assured it's really good. We'll show it to you next time.

Lots of love from the Norfolk branch xxx

Sun, Sea, Sand and Theo

I couldn’t wait to get to the beach and urged my transporters to walk faster to get me there soonest. I gave a low growl of surprise when I came across some humans sunbathing in the sand dunes with no clothes on but it was explained to me that it was o.k. as part of Holkham beach is a naturist area. I still thought it best to avert my eyes though. The sandy beach goes on for miles and it is always a dilemma deciding where to set up camp as there is so much empty space to choose from. As there was a bit of a breeze I decided to set up my portable bear cave to provide a bit of shelter. It also provided somewhere to leave my gear while I went for a swim. I splashed around and jumped the surf to my heart’s content – sheer bliss. At one point I felt something nibble my toes – I think it might have been a crab and I wasn’t sure if he was being sociable or feeling hungry. After my swim I returned to my bear cave to dry off and enjoy a well earned drink and Twix finger. As I’m so proud of my portable bear cave I thought I would pose in it for a photo. If you log on tomorrow you’ll find out what I came across on my way home. Love Theo xxx
