The Big 250!

Doesn't time pass quickly when you're having fun blogging. In fact our 250th post has crept up on us so quickly, that we haven't had time to arrange a party and take some photos of the celebrations.

Rest assured though that we will be having a party and it will be soon. Chef Oakley is currently studying his favourite cakes recipe book and the champagne is chilling in the fridge (the Wherry is ready already).

We just love a party as it lifts the spirits no end - especially when it is cold and wet outside as it is now.

It really does seem no time at all since we were having our party to celebrate 100 posts. We've just been checking the Bears Unlimited photographic archives and discovered it was in February 2007 so well short of a year ago.


We enjoyed that occasion so much that we thought we'd remind you of it (especially as we're short of a photo of the party we haven't yet had). We reckon though that as 250 is two and a half times bigger than 100, our cake will need to be two and a half times bigger than the last one. We can't wait!

Here's to the next 250 posts. Hopefully we'll continue to have lots of exciting news and pictures to share with you.

Thanks for reading.

Lots of love, all at Bears Unlimited xxx

Party Time!

Today is a very special day in the life of our blog as we are publishing our 100th posting. Such an auspicious occasion called for a celebration, so earlier chef Oakley and his assistants got busy in the kichen baking a clebration cake.


N.B. the recipe book isn't standing up on it's own, Raj is behind it reading out the all important instructions, but due to his dark fur and the fact he had forgotten his glasses, you can't see too much of him!

What a delicious chocolate cake they made. Nutella was an important ingredient of course. Such a special cake deserves a photo of it's own. Well done Oakley & team.


We were pleased to be able to share this special occasion with members of the Midlands branch, Rajah, Rupert & Confection who came up specially. For once we decided to forgo our usual favourite tipple of a glass of Wherry and celebrate in style with some champagne. We hope you like the official photograph. Members of the Suffolk branch were of course with us in spirit, and we drank a toast to them.


We look forward to the next 100 blogs, hope you do too.

Love from all at Bears Unlimited xxx
