And so we’ve come to the end of our travels for a while. We’ve been to some wonderful places and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Are we glad to be back? Yes, I think so - we’re keen to see family and friends and catch up on all that we’ve missed. We also need some time to relax and sleep - there was only one day in nearly 5 months that we’ve said ‘hell, let’s just do nothing today’ - and that was in Cairns because it was raining!

Maybe I'm running away from it all though. Oh God, I don't know! Maybe I'm looking for something I won't find? Oh sod it, life is ... read more

My home is in the Owl class in Ipswich where I live with lots of my friends. We have lots of fun playing and working with the children and we all enjoy travelling to lots of different places. We're going to be telling you all about the adventures that we have and all the mischief that we get up to. First I think you need to meet all my friends: *Benjamin and Emily are brother and sister bear who always travel together. They have been to lots of exciting places and particularly enjoy the seaside. Their best adventure so far was when they were employed as crew on an overseas adventure to Sweden. *Bertie Bear is a rather stay at home bear but this doesn't mean that he doesn't have lots of exciting adventures too. He ... read more
