The Miserable Months! January 18 2015, 10 Comments

Why is is that January and February go by so slowly? Maybe because it's cold, wet, dark ,windy or snowing!! Whatever the reason it's a time to look forward to the sunshine and warmth again.

The bear world seems to have ground to a halt. We are all recovering from Christmas excess!

New bears this month.

Three new bears from Evelyn, two French Toy and Novelty chaps, Brown bear and a Googlie to keep mine company and a lovely Jopi, Princess to join my new Jopi, Little Jobs.

Evelyn also has a bear very like Boots in the German section. They are still a mystery but there is one for sale on a well known site which is a Steiff. Is that what they are?
