hot chocolate!

yum, yum, yum!
you can't beat hot chocolate to perk a bear up!

here i am enjoying a muffin with another mug in the performance cafe of greenbelt.
it was just what i needed. I'd said it was just my cup of tea, except it was hot chocolate.

i've not seen any nutella on site yet. i'm not a happy bear.

Rubbish? Not a bit of it!

here i am having fun with a sculpture created out of rubbish bins by christian aid!
it was nice to clamber in the bin and put my paws up.
i think the christian aid stall would have been better if they had been offering you some nutella biscuit sandwiches. yum yum!

Where's my temporary bear cave?

My tent is in there somewhere, i think! love bear xxx

no one likes us

i got up early this morning to go and hear a talk. It was called 'no one likes us, we don't care.'
I thought about trying to give everyone a bear hug, but sadly my paws aren't big enough to stretch round the whole room.

i'm sheltering from a shower now - but I can see blue clouds in the sky so sunshine is not far away!

have you seen me on site yet? if you have let me know!

Martyn Joseph in concert

Hello friends!
Thankfully it didn't rain until I was safely hibernating in my temporary bear cave last night.
Bearfore hibernating, I went to see Martyn Joseph in concert. Small Seal said she heard he'd sung about Dolphins, and wanted to know if he'd change his songs so they mentioned her instead. Small Seals make me cry ... hmmn.Sadly, there's lots of people at greenbelt, and being a small bear it meant I couldn't see the stage :(

However, I was able to get on someone's shoulders and was then able to see Mr Joseph sing. Thankfully he doesn't growl like a bear.

Although he is very tiny, he is singing here. Sadly for small seal, he didn't mention her.
maybe next time, eh?

Striking camp

Hello friends!

Hope your bank holiday is going well thus far. It feels like I've spent most of my day queueing and queueing - stuck in traffic jams, (sadly no nutella jams) and waiting to be allowed onto the camp site, it's been a long day.

But here I am putting my tent


and then testing my airbed - it's comfy!
I'm all ready for a stroll now. Look out for more from me all weekend

love bear xxx

We're packed and ready to go!

Hello friends!
Small seal and I are soooooo excited! we're really looking forward to getting away from it all.
We've got our tent, our torch, our rug, our waterproofs, water and - quelle surprise! - nutella!

bearly there with my italian

Here I am brushing up on some italian while on a train into venice. the train was moving so fast that my paws could bearly keep the phrase book still. thankfully, I managed to work out what I wanted to ask: 'Posso avere un gelato di nutella prego?'
Can you guess what that means?

I'm getting very excited at my beary adventure this weekend - hope you are too! the weather forecast isn't looking quite so good, I hope my fur doesn't get all knotty and horrid. It can take ages to dry out :(

Exciting news

Hello friends
Just a quick post to let you know that I'm going on a special adventure next weekend - I've got my paws on tickets for a music festival and as a special treat, I'll be posting entries all weekend.

I'll continue telling you about my big adventure in venice this week, but look out for my special bank holiday adventure from friday. am not sure if I want it to be rainy - i've grown out of my last pair of wellies and don't want to get my fur muddy.

Canals, Bears and squares

It's been jolly nice to wander round the streets of Venice - every so often you come across lovely squares with some big sculptures to clamber up and hide behind.

But I like the bridges that go over the water, it makes me feel like I'm on one big adventure playground.

Can you see me in this picture? A virtual bear hug to the first person to spot me.

Bear poem

Where's our bear?
Just for a dare,
He is sitting
in St Mark's Square

Inspecting the view

Hello again friends!
I enjoyed wondering round the Campanile tower in St Mark's Square once I got over my fear of heights.
But being up so high is no fun unless you can see what's out there, so I clambered up to the big binoclars to find the shops that sell nutella.

I also looked for new places to be a naughty bear in, but I think to get to them I have to speak some Italian.

Until the next time, ciao!

Bit high up!

Hello again friends. Well, here I am in Venice. A big virtual bear hug to those of you who guessed correctly. In fact, I'm up the Campanile tower in St Mark's Square. This man looked quite surprised at seeing a bear up a tower. I can't think why, can you?

It's the highest I've ever climbed and it was very windy! I was quite nervous being up so high.
But being up high, you can see for miles: lots of Venice to see as well. Can you see the sea? And more importantly, any shops that sell nutella?

Well that clever Mr Simon has spotted me again - did you see me hiding in the tree?

This time, I'm easier to spot. I'm waiting for a taxi, but this one goes only on water.
Have you guessed where I'm having an adventure in yet? It's a shame small seal didn't come with me, as she'd loved flipping her flippers in the water.

Where's Bear in Italy?

Well that clever Mr Simon has guessed that my flight went to Italy.
And you'll be pleased to know that the air stewardess didn't leave me locked to my seat for the whole flight. Sadly, she didn't bring me a nutella sandwich :(

When we arrived at our destination, I needed to stretch my paws, so I ran off and hid. Can you find me in this picture and do you know where I am yet?

Excited bears on planes (2)

All that naughty bouncing around was enough to catch the attention of the air stewardess. 'You can't take off like that,' she said. So she sat me down and buckled me in, ready to go to our next adventure. For a naughty bear, I can be very good sometimes.

I've been told that where we're going is very wet, and I won't be in a car anywhere we go. I might even get an nutella ice cream if I'm a very good bear, as it's a speciality of the country.

Hmmn... plenty to scratch your grizzly heads about. Anyone got any ideas? Write and let me know. A special virtual bear hug to the winner.

Excited bears on planes

Hello friends! I was on such an exciting adventure - I've never been on a plane before - that I was jumping up and down in my seat with excitement.
Unfortunately, I got too excited and ended up wedged in the gap. Grrrr! I had that sinking feeling, but the air stewardess came to rescue me.

Can you guess where I'm flying to yet?
Another clue tomorrow

Naughty bear hides again

Hello friends,
Did you find me in the last picture?

I like playing hide and seek, and while I was waiting for the plane to arrive, I hid again. I think this is a harder picture to look at this time. Can you see me?

When you have, why not send me a message to let me know! I'll tell you if you're right or not.

unbearably hot

hello chums,
i have to say its unbearably hot at the moment.
If you're feeling the heat, feel sorry for your furry friend who is covered head to toe in fuzzy wuzzy felt.

to make matters worse my nutella is melting :(

i'm like a bear with a sore head

Are you my mummy?

Are you my mummy?

was that scarier than a Dalek?
thank goodness I like bear hugs to cheer me up :)

Oh no! It's the Daleks

ooooh no! Here I am being brave as a Dalek tries to attack me.
They are very scary things, but I stayed still and waited for it to go away before scampering for safety.

I was glad to get back home and snaffle some nutella to cheer me up.

do daleks scare you?

Paddling bears

Hasn't it been hot this week? My furry paws have been busy mopping my brow - it's roasting under all this fur!

To help stay cool, I went for a paddle in the sea. You can't beat jumping the waves and counting starfish. Great fun.

Small Seal came with us, but she got very excited and dived into the waves. It was the last we saw of her for a while. I couldn't swim after her, as my fur gets waterlogged quite quickly.

What do you like doing to keep cool?

love bear xxx

Oh I do like to bear beside the seaside

Hello again friends. Isn't it hot stuff at the moment?
I'm not very good with all this heat - makes me want to shave my fur off.
The next best thing is to visit the seaside, and that's exactly what I did.
Here I am going over the bear necessities of life on Brighton seafront; wondering why Rooney got sent off, what will happen in next week's Doctor Who and how far Andy Murray will go in Wimbledon. Phew. I can bearly believe I think so much.

What have you done this weekend?

love bear xxx

Stocks and bears

I'm glad that I wasn't born when these stocks were in use - all those nasty people pelting me with rotten tomatoes. Small Seal wouldn't have minded some little fishies being thrown at her though. She says she would've opened her mouth and gobbled them all up.

As you can see, being a small bear meant my paws couldn't stretch across both holes, so Small Seal joined me. Plenty of room for her small flippers.

Would you like to be put in stocks if you've been naughty?

Friendly piglets

I had such a lovely time visiting the piglets - I thought I'd try and get to know one of them, and offered them my paw to shake but he just sniffed it.


However, another one came along and whispered a secret into my furry ear. Can you guess what he said?

Bear and pigs

Crumbs! We've nearly come to the end of my holiday snaps. Hope you've enjoyed looking at them. There's still a couple to go, but I'm sure you'll agree it was an excellent adventure.

Have I told you that the Nutella melted? It was so hot that the jar of nutty chocolately goodness went everywhere - it took ages to wipe it off my fur. I'm nearly out of it too :(


Anyway, today I'm sharing my visit to see some piglets - all weany and pigletly. It was great fun watching them run around their sty.


I've not seen piglets before, and didn't realise that their tails are straight! I wonder when they go curly. Do you know?

Bear biscuits

Every good bear needs a holiday treat, so I was delighted when I found a packet of bear biscuits. Although I first thought they were made out of bears, but thankfully they were chocolately and very yummy! Here I am proudly clutching the packet.



I enjoyed them a lot when on our picnics.
Have you ever eaten bear biscuits? Or have you made any?

Bears and beers

Do you ever go bear spotting? Sometime in the future we'll play hide and seek together, but for now here's a bear pub I spotted on my travels. I was all excited as I saw the word 'bear' first, but was upset on seeing that it was the 'black bear inn'.
The name should be changed to 'naughty bear inn', don't you think?

Bear on the bridge

Hello again!
One of the best things about being on holiday is having time to paws for reflection. And that's just what I was doing sitting on this bridge.
After looking down to see my paws reflected in the water, I came to the conclusion that I'm not getting enough hibernation (only 23 hours a day at the moment) and not enough nutella.

Click on the comments button to say what you think about my adventures! I love hearing from you all.

Tomorrow, I might not post another holiday comment as England are playing football. Even I'll not be hibernating when that's on!

Sheepish friends

Baa! Here I am meeting some more of the locals, out having a munch on the grass. I had to clamber up this fence to have a good look, as they were far away.
There were loads of sheep all over the Cotswolds, but a lot of them ran away when they saw me. Not sure why - it's not as if I'm a very big bear after all.

I can't believe how many holiday photos I've got left to show you.

Football fever

Hello again!
You might be enjoying the World Cup at the moment: I am, and I'm looking out for bear related footie trivia, do you know any?

My holiday started on the same day that England played Jamaica, so I had to go and watch it somewhere. A nearby pub was showing the game - but what caught my beary eye was a poster advertising a recent game that I'd loved to have seen.

Moreton Wanderers v Bear FC would have been a fantastic fixture. Imagine, a whole team of bears growling their way to victory, and half-time snacks of nutella sandwiches. Yum!

Have you seen Bear FC play?

Happy bears

After the disappointment of not being able to join my new-found friend for tea and nutella, I wandered back through a market and found a honey stall. It was the bees' knees! I bought a jar of honey and the nice man let me be photographed with all his other wares. I was one happy bear!

Let me know the favourite parts of your holidays.

Meeting the local bears

One of the things I like doing on holidays is meeting the local residents. And I thought my luck was in when I met this cheery fellow in Stow on the Wold.

He seemed quite pleased to see me, and even invited me in to enjoy some nutella sandwiches washed down with some honeydew beer. But sadly, his owners had shut up shop for the holidays season, and I was left waiting on the doorstep.

That wasn't fun. But tomorrow, you'll see what cheered me up afterwards!

Cat chat

Hello again!

Here I am meeting one of the friendly locals, down on a farm.
She was a lovely cat, happy to have a chat.

I wondered if it might be a holiday romance, but she didn't chat for long - perhaps she didn't like my bear breath.

Holiday picnic

Hello everyone!
Hope you're enjoying seeing my holiday photos.
Here's a picture of me enjoying the British summer with a picnic.
Please note that while it looks rather healthy, I smothered my lettuce and tomatoes with lashings of runny honey. Yummy!

Small Seal came along too - but she wanted to guzzle a can of pilchards. So she did.

What do you like in your picnics?

Naughty bear is at a loss.
He is stuck on 10 across!

Bear's back!

Hello, I'm back! Did you miss me? I had a great time on my holidays. I went to a lovely spot in the centre of England called the Cotswolds. It was very sunny and very hot - far too hot for furry people like me and my nutella melted!

I had lots of fun and went on lots of adventures, but the first day I spent relaxing and catching up on some reading. It's not just polar bears that like to chill!

Keep checking my blog to find out what I got up to - and tell your friends to have a look too and maybe send me an email.
Bye for now. Keep growling!

Bear on vacation

I am so excited!
Like Nelly, I've packed my trunk.
Unlike Nelly, I'm not saying goodbye to the circus as I'm not in one.

My paws are quivering with excitement as I'm off on a holiday adventure!

I won't be making any posts for a week, but I'll be busy having fun and topping up my tan.
You'll see my pictures when I return. Unless I swap the camera for a jar of nutella

Be good. and if you can't be good, be a naughty bear.
