Teddies, teddies everywhere!

Just introducing a few of my teddies.  I love sketching them and often write their little stories too.  The grandkids love this.

First is Beryl, she loves to shop and was quite put out when the pandemic hit and our world was turned upside down.  She armed herself with a face mask and hand sanitiser and headed for the shops, even when the only shops open were the supermarkets! 

Boris is not actually a Teddy, but is in fact a bulldog.  However he gets along tremendously with all the teddies and just loves to compete with Trevor all the time.

Trevor, the Traveller.  Trevor adores travelling and has made his was to various parts of the United Kingdom, Paris and Italy.  His trip of a lifetime was to be to Peru and the Amazon.  However this was curtailed at the eleventh hour when Covid struck and Peru closed it’s borders.  This happened on the evening before Trevor was due to fly out.  He was, as you can imagine, devastated.  Boris didn’t help by sniggering about it at every opportunity, calling it Trevor’s trip that never was!

Garth, always on hand for a cuddle or a kind word.

Jacques Bernard comes from Paris and is quite homesick.  However he has now met a delightful young Teddy named Isabella, who is in fact a fellow Parisienne (or so he believes!).

And this is The Quirky Bird who needs no further introduction!
