Guardians of the Coast

We're getting quite into this coast watch business. We've been out and about along the Norfolk coast once again looking out for any boats, swimmers, seals or whales in difficulties and needing a keen eye to spot them.


For our latest lookout we made use of a pillbox, left over from the war. As we were well defended we thought we could also look out for Pirates - not those of the Caribbean of course, but those of the Norfolk coast. They must have heard we were there ready to intercept them as they stayed well away. Well they do say prevention is better than cure!

Talking of pillboxes, a great debate is raging in Bears Unlimited circles. Some of us call them pillboxes and others insist that they are blockhouses. What do our readers think and is there any difference between the two? let us knwo what you think.

Lots of love Tommy & Henry xxx

Visitors Welcome

Isn't it great having friends to stay? Having guests provides a great excuse to abandon the chores and show our friends around the local area and to stay up late chatting over a pint of Wherry.

Our recent visitors included Moose, Chick, Party Bear, Grommit and Boulder (the Penguin).

As we live so close to the sea we took our vistors over to Wells-next-the Sea. Afer a bracing walk along the harbour wall we came to the lifeboat station and learnt all about the great work the local lifeboat does.


We were so inspired by the work of the R.N.L.I. that we decided to lend a hand by doing our own bit of coast watching, looking out for anyone who might be in difficulties.


Before you comment that we're looking the wrong way for a coast watch, we'd like to point out that we had just turned round for the camera.

Lots of love, Bears Unlimited & friends xxx
