Christmas

A Very Rare Thing: Christmas away from home. I found myself spending Christmas with my new friend in Dorset - with whom I had spent so much time with in the autumn. Oh yes she was there too, not gadding off to warmer climes like last time. It was delightful. The weather was bright and frosty. And we were not forgotten by Father Christmas.

early autumn, dorset

I find myself once again in a suitcase and hauled off in cars and trains. This time my first visit to Dorset in over 35 years (memories of dampness, tents and seaside fog, also people paddling in wellington boots).

I am introduced to another mature Bear.

Then she's off and leaves me there!

Then October comes......
