More Moose News

Bris has received a new post card from his friend Travelling Moose with all Moose and his family's news from over the last year, since his adventure in Greece - reported in our 300th post - and our get together at Greenbelt last year.

So we will take a break from our Menorcan adventures to share Moose's news with you.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

Love Bris and all at Bears Unlimited

Hi Bris,

I’ve been a bit busy recently, and I see you too. Here’s a quick postcard before I go off on this years holiday.

Last summer we all went to Austria, It was hot and sunny when we arrived, but the got colder every day, and eventually it snowed! but to be fair we were 3000m up visiting a very interesting hydro-electric dam. it reminded me of the land where moose are free to roam amongst the trees and snow, with just the occasional cross country skier to steer clear of. By the way, how is your cross country ski practice coming along? You can see me here feeling very at home in the trees and snow.













Remember our night out at the local Quiz Night? The star of the show was surely Grommit, well here he is pondering over one of the questions – I think we caught him wondering if smoky bacon crisps go well with the local brew!


















But whatever was in that brew worked wonders, as we cleaned up on the answers and narrowly won first prize!













It wasn’t long before I had to go away for work, but this time I made sure to keep off the hot cakes (which always seem to disappear very fast) and had healthy breakfasts all week long.













Which was just as well as I needed something to make my bones grow big and strong, on our day off we went to try out some car racing, and this time I got through the height limit (with a little help) !


















But none of this was as exciting as welcoming a new member to the family, Saabrina has a new sister, with a rather comfy bonnet. New Saab has no official name yet, but seems happy with New Saab, although she answers to 2T also.













But we didn’t stop there, with new-sab came Amma and Emma, with their rather groovy socks.

And there’s more …. you may wonder why the Elks are in a baby stroller, well they’re running it in for our next scheduled arrival later this year!

Watch this space....

Love and Wishes

Moose and the (expanding) clan.

Happily Matched

In our last post we said that Saabrina was well polished and we weren't joking. As you can see from our next photo, which is a close up of us all with her, we were able to use the bonnet as a very effective mirror to check our wedding appearances.


It was nice to have this time together relaxing and chatting before the wedding got properly underway. Us Norfolk Branch bears knew that, come the afternoon, Moose and his friends would be very busy in their groom support roles, and unable to spend much time talking with us, so we made the most of the moment. We would have lingered longer if it wasn't for the wind which kept blowing the smaller bears off the bonnet.

All too soon it was time to make our way to the Church. As our minder was the officiating minister, we were there early which meant we could choose a seat which would give us a good view, very important when you're the size we are. Here we are reading the order of service, especially the rather nice piece at the start which explained what marriage was all about.


After the bride arrived we waited to find out what would be the music for the wedding march. We were rather surprised when we heard, what initially sounded like interference, coming from the speakers. We were even more surprised when we noticed that the bride had started coming up the aisle to it. All of a sudden the sound developed into some wonderful African drumming music. How unique we thought, and also how appropriate, as the bride had worked in Africa for 7 years.

After the happy couple were well and truly married, we enjoyed some mulled wine while photos were taken, then it was off to the reception. We thought our Uncle Tim gave the most romantic speech we had ever heard and gave him lots of applause at the end. After the speeches we had a great time taking to the floor for a spirited barn dance. Sadly we couldn't stay to the end as we had to drive back to Norfolk.

Lots of love from the wedding party xxx
