Bolthole, anyone?

You know when things become totally quite surreal? I have just snorted coffee all over the laptop at the thought of "re-attaching heads" without the slightest idea what this is all about! Need to scroll back I think

Thanks for the sanctuary. I have to go now but the company was great and welcoming and much needed xxx

I have a friend with a 'Newfie'. He's gigantic, and such a loving, cuddly dog!

Yes Kali I saw a couple with two of these dogs at the Eurotunnel at Christmas. Remember thinking 'better them than me sharing the car with two big boys'

Amersham is on the Chiltern Line, about 45 minutes North of London.

Liked the bit about you thinking she reattached their heads!!

South Buckinghamshire on the end of the Metropolitan Line.

Not the icicles in a strange place, I mean the dogs!

Where's Amersham?

Lovely place Amersham.

Wish GS was here, I have an urge to read him 'Going on a Bear Hunt'

They are beautiful.

It's a true story I nearly p****d myself. Which considering the temperature would have formed an icicle in a weird place

Love it but I read 'leads' as 'heads'. Think I need more coffee (and new glasses)

My DS lives in Amersham, no bears though ,sadly.

Anyone here ever seen one of these?

a BIG shaggy dog

GE I have a totally crazy friend in Amersham (one of the places we used to live) who used to post a lot on Fb about his friendly bears. Bemused his DD all the time but was great fun.

It' s lovely, and it kept our attention

Oh, sorry - that was to when

It's a very shaggy dog story...

Though the blizzard came a voice 'Poppy, Percy where are you?'

Poppy? Percy? Not very bear-like names.

I look more closely. Two long lolling tongues, hot steaming breath. One rolls onto its back. Inviting me to tickle its tummy. Heart slows to more normal pace.
Owner appears.

'What the hell are they?' I ask

'New Foundlands' explains a little elf-like lady, reattaching their leads.

.......(pops head round the door to check there's fresh tea).....Oh, that's nice, they're having a story........

Moved does that happened a lot in Amersham?

Don't do that, keep going! What happened next

Are you in Amersham Kali
