I thought I should explain our relationship with Carlos, just in case anyone is confused. Carlos is Bev's dad, not the well-known F1 Stock Car racing driver and ex-banger driver, though we have had a few thoughts about swapping them over for a while - Bev's mum would get a cute toy boy, we would get a racing driver to chauffeur us around Stirling, and Bev's dad would be a racing driver pursued by lots of bimbettes! Lots of fun all round! Anyway, enough of that.
Carlos hasn't always accepted us bears, you know. Firstly, it was just me, Hamish, who went up to see them, and I was pretty much ignored by Carlos, though not Bev's mum. Then Bill came to visit this time, and Carlos grudgingly accepted that we are part of his extended family, even if we are small and furry. And by the time we were in Orkney there was fighting talk in the car - he said he would "grab me by the short and curlies"! Hey Carlos, less of the short! I might be a small bear but I'm well endowed! Anway, there was a bit of a standoff, but I think we're all good friends now. Carlos even posed for a photograph with both Bill and myself - that is progress indeed.
Now, where was I with the plans to swap Carlos with the real Carlos........
