I've a new addition to my hug:  Bertie.  :)

He's lovely -- his mohair is really nice, and he's fitting nicely into my hug as seen here:

He was made by Sue Jennings.  He's technically "Bertie2" since the original Bertie was stolen in the post!  :'(  Sue worked really hard to replace him for me, and I can't fault her enough for that -- she's gone above and beyond what I would have expected, and whilst I can't compare Bertie2 to the original Bertie, the Bertie now in my hug is wonderful.  :)

You'll note in the second photo there's a little porcelain teddy with him -- he came in the same box with Bertie -- such a nice touch, presumably so he didn't get lonely.  :)

He also comes with a nice tag describing him -- and whilst I could tie it round his neck, I have a special folder I put such information in instead -- I did try and photograph it, but due to the glossy plastic covering his label it didn't work out well, alas.  :)

I am still very very annoyed that someone would have the audacity to steal a teddy bear, but then I suppose it happens.  Ah well, I only hope the Royal Mail cough up the meager sum of inconvenience that Sue is trying to claim off them, not that it will replace Bertie.  :)

So thank you, Sue, Bertie is settling in well.  :)

Hi Thomas

I am SO pleased that Royal Mail managed to get him to you and he appears to have made friends.

Hugs

Bertie looks like a lovable kind of bear.  He's adorable.

Wow Thomas, looks like each bear in your hug is trying to be in front, love all the bears taking a peek, and love Bertie, what a grand bear.  ENJOY!

Hi Adam,

Bertie (2) looks really wonderful and very happy in your hug. 

He was made by Sue Jennings.  He's technically "Bertie2" since the original Bertie was stolen in the post!

This is my worst nightmare  !  Not long ago I adopted three teddies from a lovely artist called Jean Bishop : the three bears were LOST for two weeks by the Royal Mail's international "service" Parcel Force.  Both Jean and I were frantic with worry and called their office every single day.  After two weeks they finally found the parcel and the bears got here safe and sound.  I can only imagine your and Sue's dissapointment.

Sue makes lovely bears; I have one in my hug as well : "Bashful" is the one you see on her avatar and here she is in my garden :

Hugs,

Peterbear
