It didn’t seem fair to put Edward in the window. He’s getting on in years and needs to take things easy. He is currently wearing his tropical outfit made when OH and family were posted abroad so may catch a chill. He does have a woolly outfit but no one knows where they are and EB is not telling.

I have put my Teddy in the window as he is much younger and more up to the job. Fully furred and ready to be spotted. Bought when my children found I had never had one as a child. ?. Had a couple of dolls but that is a whole other story!

My white fluffy dog always sits on the windowsill and people wave to her when they go past and smile which is nice to see

I'm just going to have a chat with him, perhaps go on a bear hunt for another one hiding away, to keep him company.

I’ve just placed my little Rupert the bear in the sitting room window and big brown bear sits in my bedroom window. I’m going to put my polar bear in the spare bedroom window and another in the window by the back door. I think it is a great idea. Also I am going to make a painting of a rainbow and put that in the sitting room window as well. Come on lets be positive.

Two teddies on duty in my windows. I will ask them to report back on passers by later on!

Teddy has been sitting in our upstairs window for a few days now, gazing out anxiously looking for children to wave to, but he hasn't seen any apart from a couple of nearly teens playing out.

Yes there are quite a few teddies sat in windows around my area too. I've got a teddy in the living room and bedroom windows and rainbow pictures too. It's getting cluttered! But it's nice to see the passing families spot them and point them out.

This seems a fun thing to do which I know would cheer up my dgd and help the parents with keeping them amused.
