Bolthole, anyone?

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.

Anyone here ever seen one of these?

a BIG shaggy dog

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

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

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

They are beautiful.

Lovely place Amersham.

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

Where's Amersham?

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

South Buckinghamshire on the end of the Metropolitan Line.

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

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

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'

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

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

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

See you later Kali

Perhaps later we could have a ceilidh, Kali? Got any bagpipes?

Come back later kali Will have to think about the bagpipes...

Aren't they cute as puppies? I'd like a Newfie to warm my feet on, but I only have a small house. It would be worth it to see the reaction of my grand-cats when I took it to visit... is there somewhere I could hire one? Imagine taking one of those on a train though!

Oh, just missed Kali! Come back later, I'd love a ceilidh. And it would mean we could have a dram or two to foster the Celtic spirit! I think I have some dram type stuff somewhere...we won't have to dance, though, will we?

Just off out for dinner with all the twins. I'll bring a doggie bag back. Mind, that could be squelched pizza!

We have the bagpipes but Can't paly them! My fther was an expert.

Ceilidh with Kali and a collie? Now she's getting silly.

Can I hide in here for a bit? I am so ** off at looking up all that stuff on aluminium versus aluminum and nobody believes me. even
