Happy New Year! Candy castle is looking magical at the moment, with all the icing-sugar snow, glistening on the turrets. We’ve all been making snowmen – Twinkle and I made a really lovely one! Twinkle thinks that this afternoon we should try and make a snowcastle (exactly like a sandcastle except made out of snow!). If we make it big enough we might even be able to go inside it.… Read More »Making Snowmen!

I love the snowy weather, but I had to do an urgent repair job on my favourite winter hat this week… Just like you, I awoke to find my street covered in a blanket of crisp white snow. I could hear excited voices from the park next door to my house – everyone was out, wrapped up warm, for a sledging session! I had a rummage around in the shed… Read More »Bobble Trouble…

Geer’off it’s my turn now! I’m Bully Bear – and I am bigger and stronger than any of you. We had a snow ball fight today and I won, all by myself as well, as nobody was cool enough to be on my team. All those wimps. I always do everything by myself; I don’t want anyone to weigh me down. Everyone knows that too – that’s why no-one offers… Read More »My turn now!

Do you have any resolutions? I’m going to re-organise my hat closet into alphabetical order. Baseball hat, beret, bonnet, bowler… Spring will be with us shortly and as soon as the first snowdrop pokes its head above the soil, I’m going to pack my hat cases and go and visit some of my friends up and down the country. Perhaps I’ll see you on my travels… Fred x   ([email protected])

As it’s the New year, we were discussing our New Year Resolutions. I said I would try to be extra patient with the seagulls and not blame them instantly when something goes wrong. Scampi said that this year he would try and stop chasing the seagulls when they started picking on him and Harry and Netty said the would try not to throw paper at the seagulls when they saw… Read More »Happy New Year Everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! We both slept in till late this morning, after staying up until gone midnight. We had all our friends and family come over to celebrate the New Year. We all dressed up and Sushi came as a cowboy! We had a fantastic time, though we have lots of tidying up to do this morning! – Sushi makes a fantastic host, he is always very sweet and everyone… Read More »NYE Party!

It’s the 1st of January 2010! A new year with new songs and a NEW TOUR! 1st Gig of the Tour – London – Battersea Power Station (New Year’s Eve till now!) One word: WOAH! If ever a place was made for rock it was Battersea – amazing venue. We would have blown the roof off, if it didn’t already have no roof! We played from eight till eight, exhausting… Read More »NEW YEAR GIG!

As you can see, we got all the crackers done in time – thank you so much for your jokes. Everyone’s coming round to my house later for a festive party, I can’t wait to see their faces when they open their presents! I got a shiny new whistle for Sonny the Sea Tractor, a cosy cushion for Sushi the Sausage Dog, a wand warmer for Princess Chloe, a silk… Read More »Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas! I am Helpful Bear – it’s my turn now to write a blog and I’m very lucky to be writing a blog for Christmas Day! I love Christmas and I really enjoy helping to get everything ready. We spent a long time putting up all our Christmas decorations at the beginning of December – all my family joined in, which made it lots of fun! Yesterday, I helped… Read More »A Bear’s Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!! It’s Christmas day and we’re just about to sit down to Christmas lunch! Pirates are festive after all! They’ve been cooking all morning (though it is a bit worrying as to what they are cooking!). We all got up really really early this morning and opened our stockings (the pirates were so excited!). We’re moored up in a harbour, so Father Christmas didn’t have quite so far… Read More »Christmas day on a pirate ship!
