Trip up north

In my frenzy over Frankie's new car, I completely forgot to mention my trip "up north" with Bev to see a customer. We drove up north in glorious sunshine, singing along to music on Bev's iPod, and then we picked up Keith (owner of George, the cat with jaws of steel) from the railway station before heading off to our hotel.

The hotel was a beautiful old building set in acres of woodland - it was perfect for a bear like me! While Bev and Keith went for a meal and chatted about work, I played in the woods, had a massage in the spa, and ate a yummy meal in the hotel room. Then it was 8 hours of the big zeds until it was time for a dip in the pool and a scrummy breakfast!

Our trip home was a bit of a squash because Keith insisted on sitting in the front seat, so I had to sit on his knee! But once we dropped Keith off, I had the passenger seat all to myself, and Bev and I listened to some more music and books on the way home.

So, apart from the yummy food, massage and excellent hotel, what was the highlight of the journey north? It was seeing the Angel of the North, which is very impressive!

And where did we go? Well, that's still a secret, but all will be revealed in time.......
