It’s a fit up! Once the ‘misunderstanding’ had been sorted out I was treated to an interview WITH coffee, and cake as well  

Great trip down under… Met some sharks, minced about, had a few beers and threw a couple of shrimps on the barby. I traveled with Old Baldy to the Somme where I met up with Ord Sgt, and then onwards to The Hague. An early morning start on Wednesday saw us on the train from [...]

Due to ongoing demand and the incredible generosity of Wendy Inkster at Burra Bears we have a new recruit to the team. Colour Sergeant Burra has now passed through his recruiting phase although the clothing stores haven’t been opened yet hence the naked pictures. Stores are for storing, the clues in the name!     [...]

I’d heard from Cpl Horsa that this particular bear handler was into dressing up, so  hopes were high for this expedition.  It turns out I shouldn’t take things at face value.

I had been in the Shetlands for just over 3 weeks enjoying the unusually balmy weather when Cpl Horsa arrived on Saturday 6th September. I was in a particularly foul mood having had [...]

  My first visit to Jersey was quite brief, as I was held up by Customs and missed the pre-weekend round of parcel deliveries. As I result, I was seriously glad to get out of my little [12x10x10] cardboard box and get my fur sorted out. A drive around the eastern half of the Island [...]

As a result, several interesting visit offers have had to be declined. To address this problem, and [...]

As for the assault on Helvellyn well I’m sure Sgt Slingsby organized the weather to be as challenging and perilous as possible, I swear I could hear bear chuckling from the bergan. Come to think of it, it must have been the unceremonious stuffing of the wee guy into a plastic bag and then bergan [...]
