OH for a quiet life........

Granny was on the go again, this early morning every Saturday and Sunday is driving me nuts.

It was the ONKAPARINGA DOLL AND BEAR SHOW.

Granny was telling me that I would have a good time because there would be different people at this show.

Some from interstate and every where. " SH sh sh Don't tell granny I don't care where they came from I just wanted to stay in bed.

Well in the freezing cold with my trusty scarf on I had to sit out the front and say 

ROLL UP, ROLL UP every one welcome to come in.

Granny tried to tell me I had the loudest voice, so that was why I was chosen.

Now as usual I have a few pictures to show you. This is :

 Bears

These little creatures are from:

I thought that bird was going to peck my shoe.

Now get this. This lady was cool. She paints portraits of BEARS. Now I don't know what is my best side.

What do you think?  I think I would look quite handsome. The lady's name is Sue Bridle.

 All this reporting made me hungry, so my nose smelt out FOOD.

Can you see I'm trying to hide in the shadow because I would love some of that cheese cake.

Do you think Granny will see me.

 

I found this lovely lady called Pat Morris she has heaps of bears.

Then Granny called me and said I need to get in touch with my feminine side, and nurse a tiny baby doll.

HUM,  I sure don't feel comfortable with this baby. What do I do if she cries. Or you know what, wets......

Put her down quickly I said.

Now this is more like it, firemen and gollies. Gollies are always my friends.

 I am SO PROUD I rubber shoulders with the who's who of bears.

This bear is a Portabello bear, (Something like a prince) he looks very aristocrat. He came from England.

I really wanted to be friends with him, but some how he looked to proud.

 

 It was getting late and I was feeling a bit chilly so I snuggled up in all the mohair Teddy's Bits had hanging up.

 Just before Granny packed up for the day, we saw this lovely lady making lace. I wanted to play with all those colourful sticks. I was shown how to make lace, although I'm not sure if I will remember it.

I could see she was a nice lady who loved bears. Have a look at her jumper.

I have just had peanut bitter and honey on toast.

Now I'm

POOPED!!!!!

See you all next week.

HOY!!! ALL MY FRIENDS

This is a long long blog.

You won't believe what happened to me today.

A lovely lady called Leanne, came up to me this morning at the market. She had such smiling eye's (swooon)

and asked me if I would like to go for a walk with her.

Well it was a cold day and all was fine??????

We saw this lovely stall with a little owl and book, pigs, kittens, and a few funny creatures.

 That was when it all STARTED.

Granny came and chased us up and said she thought I should go up stairs to the YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!

The GYM !! so I could loose weight.

Well I was quite excited at first. It was fun ridding the big bike, with all the blokes.

It was called the Marion Leisure and Fitness Centre.

They have good equipment there.

I was HUFFING and PUFFING

Where was the leisure!!!!!!!!

Then there was this Leg coil chair. TORTURE

With my short legs it was NOT good.

I felt pooped after that. I thought it would be good to play on this big blue ball.

The trouble was I had to balance on it. NOT EASY.

I was beginning to think I was never going to get out of this place. Then the girl that ran it said "Here you go Wilbur you need to lift these medicine balls up 10 times.  WELL ( sssshush. I can't say what I thought.)

They were so heavy I could only lift them Twice, because by that time I had sweat running down into my beautiful eyes, under my arms, and every where else.Plus my hands were so slippery

I call it quits......#####

There was a car wash outside the market, so Granny said I had to go out there and get scrubbed from top to toe.

Well there were some nice girls out there washing cars, so I could put up with that after all that muscle building work." Few, that feels better"

 Now Granny thought that seeing we were out I should smell nice with a body scrub from BODY ROMA.

They were such nice people, they even gave me some sample pack to take home encase I didn't get scrubbed behind my ears, or my under arm got smelly again. They look so professional with there lovely aprons on.

Then SURPRISE the fun part of the day happened.

One lovely lady said her peddle car needed a wash: so her lovely Dad went all the way home and got the car 

to get washed. Just have a look at it. VINTAGE RED. (65years old).

Guess who they asked to drive it, and be in charge of it for the rest of the day.

WILBUR.

I drove it to get washed, then I had a drive around in it for ages. WOW did I feel special.

 I am wondering if they would like me to drive it in the Vintage car rally next year.

I just got back inside when it was time to pack up, and guess what! Another lovely surprise.

A lady was knitting all day near Granny; she came up and said that this was her last market, so she would like ME WILBUR to have this scarf to keep the chill out, early in the mornings.

Now that was a lovely thing to do, don't you think.

I Feel very proud wearing it and will always remember her.

 

Don't I look handsome.

I'm so tired, I just want to snuggle into bed, after supper of peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

See you next week my friends.

Wilbur at golly day.

 Well it was Golly day at "Bear and Friends" I thought I would tag along because gollies are Teddy's best friend. Well I walked in the door and all you could see for miles and miles (I think that is what Granny says)

is GOLLIES

There was one brave little raggy doll came to visit. I thought she was very beautiful. The gollies were very friendly to her as well. I hope they shared the afternoon tea with her. I made sure she had a drink of lemonade.

There were four gollies having afternoon tea at this table. They were VERY,VERY BIG.

I sat on a big gollies knee. They said I could join them. His knee was very soft to sit on. (You know some knee's are bony and hard and  uncomfortable) not this gollies knee. I could have snuggle up and  slept on his lap.

More and more gollies giving me cuddles 

I thought this buddy was very handsome.

Now I was going to pinch one of these cakes, but guess WHAT, they had a golly GUARD

watching over them.

So my friend Mei-li the panda and Itty bitty golly whispered secrets in my ear about how to get a cake away from the table with out guard golly seeing. We had a plan. Itty Bitty golly was going to do a dance in her pretty dress so he would watch her. Then Mei-li was going to snatch the cake because she was smaller than me, and was not quite so visible. Then we would all share it.

 Have a look at it. One pretty cake, that looked scrumptious and WAS SCRUMPTIOUS.

 We hid under the table and licked every last crumb up.

Hummmm! "Mei-li have I got any crumbs on my lips. I don't want any evidence showing."

Well that was one gastronomic golly day.

I don't think I will have any peanut butter and honey for supper. 

"Granny I have a tummy ache, could I please just have a glass of warm chocolate milk for supper."

I will see you all next week when I'm feeling better.
