Happy New Year to everyone! Apologies for not sending new year greetings before now, but I have only just recovered from the festive eating, drinking and partying, and then Bill & I had to nurse both Bev & Paul through their bouts of man-flu - so all in all, there hasn't been much time for blogging.
So, what have we been up to and what exciting events do we have to look forward to?
Ok, firstly, Mr Chimp has been renamed Tony the Chimp by a unanimous vote amongst us bears. Why have we named him Tony? Well, because he reminds us of the F1 Stock Car driver Tony Smith - sturdy and cheery!
Last weekend, Paul took us bears and Tony the Chimp to the Car Show at the NEC in Birmingham, where we all drooled over the new F1 Stock Cars and watched racing in the Thunderdome. Bill and I wore our Christmas aftershave and also drooled over the babes! Quite a few drivers had turned up, though not Frankie who is racing in New Zealand at the moment. However, Daniel and Frankie Wainman Senior were there showing off Daniel's new car, and other cars on display included Tom Harris' new F1 Stock Car, Georgia Neachell's ministox car, and Mick Sworder's new F2 Stock Car. All in all, it was a great day out, and it was a welcome fix for us addicts until the new racing season starts at Easter.
So, what exciting events are coming up? Well, I am off to sunny Wales tomorrow with Bev to visit Keith, Sheila and scary George, their cat. I am practising my paw-to-paw combat just in case George decides to play rough. Bev and Keith are then off to visit a customer, so hopefully I can come too and check out the Welsh bears. With any luck, Bev will get a photograph of me in Wales just to prove I really am a well-travelled bear!
