Follow The Bear - It's not that strange, is it?
You know how I was somewhat 'gloating' about shooting off to France last week? Well, I did a Del Boy after one-too-many glasses of fizz and fell into an empty space before face planting into gravel. There was a lot of explaining I had to do to with the five f…

Follow The Bear - (Not) Emily in Paris.
My five-year-old son Arthur was really playing up with writing his 'rainbow' words last week so we wrote a message in his school book asking his teacher to remind him of the importance of homework. When we picked him up from school, we asked the teacher where…
Follow The Bear - There must be a mini egg somewhere...?
