Busy weekend!!

We've been really busy since we got home - first of all with making me a new poncho out of the snazzy yarn we got in Rochester!!  It changes colour!!!

See?!!  It's brill!

Then this morning we got a package delivered!!!

It's a book written by Alexander MacKenzie Bear's Mum!!!

We're SOOO excited!!

Then later on, we got the bus to Brighton Station to meet someone off the train!  It was Arnty Bev!  And Arnty Vicky picked us up and drove us to her house!!  We saw this along the way!

And we saw this one as well!!!

We all sat down for a cuppa tea and a chat before heading into town to do some shopping!

Later on, we all stopped for a Gin and Tonic before dinner.  It was quite a large one and Andrea got a bit squiffy!!!  Not as squiffy as Arnty Bev though..... she was funny!!

Then we all went to Ashoka for a curry!  They do really good curries in there!

We got another drink too!

*Burp*

that wasn't me......!!

After we all stuffed our faces, it was time to go home.... but we're meeting up for breakfast tomorrow morning!!

Arnty Bev gave Andrea a jar of Portland Hunney!!!

Andrea also got a posh book about calligraphy - it'll teach her how to use those posh calligraphy pens that we got in Rochester last week!!!

 We got a big blue tote bag as well!!!

Then we bought some baklava!!!  YUMMMM!!!

And Arnty Bev also gave us loads of crafty stuff to use!!!

It's been brill this weekend!!!!

A New Bear!!!

 A couple of weeks ago, Andrea found an abandoned bear sitting on a cable box on her way to work!!!  She thought he only had one eye....... he didn't look very happy at all, so she grabbed him, put him in her bag and took him to work and then brought him home.

He was a bit of a scaredy cat at first and wouldn't tell us his name but we fed him lots of honey which cheered him up!!!  Then we noticed he actually had TWO eyes!!!  

He said his name was Colin.

He sits on the bed with the rest of us now!!!

Beanie Met Alexander from Canada!!!!!

Last Tuesday, Andrea brought me into work because she said we were going to do something really exciting afterwards!!!!!

 She changed clothes first and then we went for a walk to the Royal Pavilion!!

We were going to meet Alexander Mackenzie Bear!!!!!

We were all hungry already, so we walked down to Harry Ramsden's Fish and Chip restaurant nearby.

That's Me and Alexander!!!!!!  I've met a Real Canadian Bear now!!!

First of all, I presented him with his Runner Up Winner Medal for the Synchronised Farting Contest in the Bear Olympics.  Alexander was Very Happy!!!

Then he said that he'd brought Team Tango's Bronze Medal prizes for the Staring Contest!!!

Tissue paper and curly ribbon??!!!  I LOVE IT!!!  I can make stuff with that!!

Oh - that's not the prize??  There's more??  REALLY?!!

Oh how exciting!!

 It's the Bronze Medal Dinosaur!!!  Oh how fun!!!

Then Alexander said he'd brought more Bronze Medal prizes all the way from Canada!!!

First of all was some Real Canadian Maple syrup Just For Bears, in a Maple leaf shaped bottle!!

Oh WOWEE!!!!

 And a Bear Shaped Honey Jar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh Tango will LOVE that!!!

And some Canadian Flag stickers!!

Wow, what a haul!!

Thank you so much, Alexander!!!!!

 By now, we were all completely starving, so we tucked into Fish and Chips with salt and vinegar on the chips!!  It was Yummy!!!

That's a picture of Harry Ramsden's restaurant but that silly van driver went past just at the critcal moment.

Bloody drivers.....

 By now, it was weeing it down with rain, so we all made a mad dash onto the Pier because that had an indoors bit we could stay dry under.  (We took some photos first, they're on Alexander's blog)

Then I decided to play the 2p shuffle board game!!!!  Alexander hadn't played this before, so he watched for a while.....

And I won an orange VW camper van!!!

How exciting!!!

THEN we discovered another 2p shuffle board game that had Bears for prizes!!!  By now, Alexander had worked out how to play, so we decided to pool resources (meaning we stole money out of our owners' purses!!!  They didn't mind though...!) and try and win a Bear for Alexander.

 And guess what??!  We won TWO BEARS for Alexander!!!!!

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

One had a yellow T-shirt that said "Brighton Pier" on it, and the other one had a red T-shirt that said "Brighton Pier on it!

That was so much fun!!!!

By now, it had stopped raining so we went for a walk along the beach.

We stopped for a little rest on this wall and had our photo taken with a Flying Seagull (who probably was trying to take a surreptitious poo somewhere...!)  The seagull missed Alexander's hat though, so we were pleased!! 

 When I got home, I presented Team Tango with the Bronze Medal Staring contest Dinosaur and stickers!

They really likeed those!! 

 THEN I showed them the Bear Honey Jar and they cheered so loudly, I nearly went deaf!!

Team Tango love that prize!!!

 And then I showed them the Maple Syrup prize and they all cheered again!!!!!

They're SOOOOO happy!!!

 Team Tango with the Bronze Medal Staring prizes!!
