Well, we woke up to a few inches of snow on the ground and glorious sunshine. The view from the window was fantastic. John wrapped up warm and went off to work while Maria and I had a leisurely breakfast. Then i went out on to the balcony and had a look at the view and tried to throw a few snowballs at the passers by below.
It was too cold to stay out too long, besides Maria moaned about getting a bad reputation if I kept throwing snow at people.
We decided it was time to create some New York bears, well to start on one at least. We haven’t brought a sewing machine with us (John didn’t fancy carrying it) so anything we made would have to be hand stitched, so Maria decided to work small.
I offered advice, Maria stitched and we listened to radio 2 on the web. By the end of the day we had almost finished an 8 in double neck jointed, open mouthed bear. Hopefully we’ll finish him tomorrow and then we photograph him and post the picture. It’s hard work being creative.
Hi Wilbeary, Glad to hear you arrived ok and have settled into the apartment. Sounds to us like Maria’s being a bit of a stick-in-the-snow – does she not realise a young bear can be high spirited, and needs a chance to play? Afterall, all work and no play makes Wilbeary a very sad bear! Looking forward to seeing your new friend,
C & R
