Greenwich - Sunday 11/11/07

I'm really sorry I haven't updated my blog or replied to any comments in the last week. My mummy has been off work sick. She came in from work on Tuesday and went straight to bed, without making us any chocolate drink. I asked daddy when he came in what was wrong with her and he said she had flu. I said she didn't fly she took the train and he laughed. After a few days in bed with my brothers and sisters looking after her, mummy is feeling better now.

Last Sunday after my visit to my relatives at the Museum, mummy and daddy came with me to Greenwich to see the sights. I had a lovely Sunday lunch in a Wetherspoons pub. It was roast chicken with vegetables. I only like peas and carrots not cauliflower or cabbage, YUCK. I had an angel cake from Greenwich market as my dessert, YUMMY.

I also got to ride on a Docklands train which was scary at first because we sat at the front of the train and I thought we had to drive everyone!! Daddy then said the train is automatically driven so we were ok. It didn't go too fast and was a lovely ride to Greenwich.

Visiting Cousins and Brothers at the Museum of Childhood - Sunday 11/11/07

Yesterday I decided to go and visit some long lost cousins and brothers of mine that I hadn't seen for a very long time. They live in a big museum in Bethnal Green. There's different bears of all kinds of shapes and sizes. The only sad thing is I couldn't touch my cousins because they're behind glass but because they have to be looked at by everybody I suppose it's ok but I wouldn't want to be behind glass and never be cuddled - would you??

These are some of my cousins who are much much order than me. They were born around 1915. Sad really to think they'll spend the rest of their lives behind glass with no cuddles from little children or mummies and daddies.


Here is a bear you should all know from the tv called Superted!! I wonder where Spotty was? Perhaps he is hiding in the red train behind me??


Here are some of my cousins I saw. They are all lovely British bears.


These are my long lost Deans ragbook brothers. I was sooo sad to leave them behind but I promised I'd visit them again soon.


There lots of other things for a teddy bear to do at the Museum of Childhood including playing on a ride...


Looking at some model trains...


Driving a fire truck...

And being a builder...


And afterwards I then went on the Docklands Light Railway for the first time and had a train ride to Greenwich....but you'll have to come back and read my blog tomorrow to find out what I did...

Choo Choo on The Ruislip Lido Railway - Sunday 04/11/07

Hey it's me the train driver!! Hop on board!

Hello!! It's Arthur again! Today I went for an adventure on a diesel powered train! Firstly though, mummy and daddy took me to a bear boutique in Covent Garden to buy me some more new clothes after my trousers the other day. Mummy let me choose a pair of jeans, a jacket to keep me warm and a t-shirt with a picture of a bear on it! After that, we went directly to the train ride on the Ruislip Lido Railway in North London, which is a lovely little miniature railway. I'd never been to North London before or on a diesel or steam train so it was very exciting. Once again I met some new friends, especially one little boy who was very nice who I'd been on a train ride with and when I was tucked away in my travel bag waiting for a bus back to Ruislip station he asked where I was - so I jumped out of the bag and he was very happy to see me! They were very kind at the railway and they even let me drive the train!! I could also drive a beach buggy which was on the sandy beach next to a big lake where many children and their mummies and daddies were playing on a nice sunny day. The lake also had some swans and one tried to chase me on the beach but I managed to get away in the buggy!! heeee Please take a look at my piccies below as I have to go to bed now as verrrrrrry tired (yawwwwwn) after a nice adventure. Night night. x
