Going Ape!

My Ted dates from 1950, too - he was a first birthday present! My first very early memory is of being in the bath when a granny arrived with him.

Poor old Ted spent about 10 years languishing in a drawer, after our old dog (as a pup) chewed half his face off, but eventually the Teddy Hospital did a wonderful job.

He's adorable! I love his stripey jumper.

Old Ted looks very like my long time friend Teddy Growler*. I wonder if they could be related.

*Chad Valley circa 1950, he lost his growl many years ago.

I love him!

Oh, how lovely Witzend, he's very protective of Ted!
Another triumph.

When I saw the heading I thought you might be going to swing through the tree tops with DGC.
