All the Bears’ videos are on YouTube here, including … Cpl HORSA’s tour in Afghanistan. Sgt HOTSPUR’s Parachute Course.
There’s nothing like a nice sunny day for bringing a Bear out hibernation, and I decided to pop down to Durrell to see what was going on. No, it’s not a zoo, it’s The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust – an international charity working globally to save species from extinction. There’s a mass more information on [...]
Arrived safely in the colonies after 37 days in postal transit – thus missing Christmas completely. Cold here and a bit damp. The Bearer gave me some nice tea to warm up and he gave me plenty of honey. They do, however have very odd accents here. It seemed nice and then he had me [...]
When I say we have a Record, it’s neither vinyl nor CD, but a downloadable MP3 track, thanks to the efforts of a few supporters and the lovely voice of Angie Handley. “Brothers in Arms” by Angie Handley is available from Amazon, iTunes, Napster etc, and holidays4heroes gets a huge slice of your very modest [...]
