Hello
The Grand Adventures are still being written, but they are a short paragraph from Kiosk Strath Ted, accompanied by pictures. I hope that you enjoy reading all these adventure posts that were written below. Kiosk Ted Strath really enjoyed writing them 😀🐻

Hello everyone! How are you feeling today? I really  truly, completely and utterly am asking you and I want to know the answer! My teddy ears are perked up trying to hear your answer!

   Ooohh , I feel soooo sorry for Beatrice, Bobbie, Bianca and Benji, the baking bears! They were kept soooo busy over December cooking up batches and batches of mince pies! The demand for them by the teddy shoppers was so  high and almost non-stop! The mince pies did taste very delicious and  yummy! It was quite tiring on the Bears though ! By the time December 25th arrived, they were " fruit minced" out! But...there were lots and lots of very happy teddies who enjoyed eating the fruit mince pies  throughout December! 

But...that is not why I feel soooo sorry for the Baking  bears! The reason is, that now "due to customer demand" they have enlisted to make dozens and dozens of hot cross buns! They were planning to head off down to the beach and camp at Tedbud ( the teddy holiday destination instead of Rosebud ) and just enjoy doing some relaxing there. They had bought some sun cream,  new  summery hats, colourful beach towels and had packed into their luggage the new season bestseller books,( these books were highly rated in the latest version of Teddy Digest, which is "the" magazine that all knowledge teddies read! It is written for " those teddies who like to keep up  with current news, styles, trends, food , literature and sports" It is definitely a magazine to place on your coffee table!

  Anyway, the Baking bears have needed to "postpone" their beach trip and instead stay home and cook hot cross buns! They are very dutiful in their dedication to baking items that teddies want to eat! They may  be a little tired though from making hot cross buns by the time Good Friday arrives! 

    Well, I had best say a little  goodbye for now. Hmm....the warm hot cross buns may be calling  by nose! And also my mouth. ! 

     Until next time,

           Your friend

Hello everyone! I hope that you had an extra nice, super duper, excellente, very special and double lovely Christmastime! I did! I had a roast chicken and roast vegetables Christmas lunch! Hmm...I did feel sooo sorry for Gregory the gravy bear! Yes, he came to pour some gravy over his roast potatoes and pumpkin, and little Jenny the joking teddy had just pulled her Christmas cracker. She was sooo excited to tell Gregory her joke that was in her cracker! Gregory is a very kindly teddy, and so gave her his full attention. The only thing was, he thought that the joke was so funny, that he started to giggle...and laugh...and chortle...then the next thing we knew, his teddy hands had knocked the gravy boat containing the gravy onto the floor! It was  a  mess! 

    And... I never ever ever ( which is much more emphatic than never ever! ) realised that broccoli and cauliflower fight! Yes, they do! It is all to do with hair dressers! The broccoli and cauliflower hair dressers both think their florets are better than the other! Personally,I think that they both  look nice and taste delicious! Anyway, a "war" broke out on the Christmas Day lunch plates,  between the cauli and broccoli! The carrots and beans were forced to take sides! The Cauliflower and Brocoli stems all "stood to attention " , tossed back their florets hairstyles and gave speeches as to why their floret hairstyle was better then the other one! They are quite good speech makers! It was declared a tie! Then all of us teddies went back to eating our Christmas lunch  meals! 

   It was such a very warm Christmas Day! My teddy fur felt so warm! It was very kind of Isabella the icey-pole teddy to give us teddies all a lemonade icypole to cool us down! And Bobbie the Banana grower Bear had put  bananas onto lcypole sticks and then had frozen them, for us to eat at night time! Aren't they such kind teddies?! 

     Well I must go now. Talking about food reminded me that I need to go and prepare for dinnner!  

     Until next time,

          Your friend,

Hello everyone! It's just me, Kiosk Ted Strath! Well, I would be a bit funny if it was someone else writing here wouldn't it?! They would be " trespassing " on my page! Of  course, I am a very welcoming teddy and I would wilingly share my page with other teddies! It would be like a tandem bike! No...not a good idea! We may fall off onto the ground and get big grey bruises! Ouch-ouchy-ouch! 

  Talking about other teddies, my friend Mr. Oliver teddy, is so very excited! He keeps bubbling away with happiness! Do you know why? You will never guess why! So...I will tell you why! The lovely Margaret M took photos of him at the FOS Christmas break-up! He feels that he is a celebrity star! He is so very proud! He keeps showing them to everyone he sees! I am sure that he would like you to see them also! Here they are!   

       Doesn't he look so, so handsome! He especially did his fur teddy hair nicely for the occasion!  He is looking longingly at the mince pies, ready to eat one! But...he is a very well mannered teddy and he knows that he it is best to wait until everyone else is seated at the table before he can start to " munch" his delicious mince pie! It is good that he keeping etiquette rules and is wearing a serviette! You must always, always be aware of crumbs! 

       He had such a good time at the social break up! He did tell me though that he was sooooo tired when he got home! He had a little snooze lay in the next morning! Instead of getting up at the usual time, he slept in for a further ninety seconds! He told me that the lay in helped him sooooo much!

    Well, I had best be off now. I've go soooo much to do now that Christmas time is here! The little teddies at school are going carolling and I am going to be playing the keyboard as they go around the streets singing the Christmas carols! It will be lots of fun! We are having lots of practices though!

  Until next time,

          Your friend

Hello everyone!  Yawn...yawn..Oh, I am most sincerely apologetic! It is quite impolite of me to yawn . I am sorry that you witnessed my bad etiquette manners! Edna the Etiquette teddy would be very unhappy! She teaches all the little teddies about having good manners. She teaches manners in a fun way so that it helps them to remember the best way to do things. She also gives them a reward of a linen serviette that has their name embroidered on it at the end of her " Formalities For Future Terrific Trained Tidy Teddies Course! " She doesn't like paper serviettes! ( Please don't tell her that I am saying this, but I strongly disagree with her on this point! I absolutely , completely, totally and fully like patterned paper serviettes! They look so very pretty! They add a colourful and nice look to the dining table! But...I must not let Edna know how I feel, as that would be quite ill mannered of me! )

    It was soooooo funny the other day! Well, actually to be truthful it wasn't very funny when it occurred but then it ended up quite funny! I had stayed up late the previous night, because "you know how it is". Sometimes you just want to finish doing something,  and think that it will only take a few minutes to complete...then the " few minutes" turns out to be a lot longer! So...I didn't get as much sleep as a normally do! I was feeling a little bit tired the next day.  Anyway, I had a big bowl of strawberry and spearmint  icecream, with cherries on top that I was eating for a meal . I fell asleep in the midst of eating the ice cream and I woke up to find my teddy nose in the ice cream and a cherry on top of my nose! It was a   very unique waking up setting! Very messy ...very Ice-creamery ...very delicious! It gave me a bit of a surprise though! 

     I have to admit that I stayed up so late the night before that I was able to say " good morning" to Margie magpie, Claudia  crow, Sally  spa sparrow and Sebastian Seagull who had just woken up and were having drinks of honey and water in preparation for singing their early  morning melodies tunes! 

 I had better go now and have a little nap! 

   Until next time,

   Your friend,

 Hello everyone! I hope that your day  is going well ! Talking about wellness, i had to go and see Doctor Teddy the other day for my annual teddy health challenge!

     Doctor Teddy  decided to test my teddy eyes first. He was quite excited telling me about the latest  teddy health research finds! It appears that the bunnies have all escaped  from where they  live and have eaten all the carrots in the world! That is a bad sign for teddy eye health! But the latest research  has said that Doughnuts are good to eat  for eye health. This is because eyes and doughnuts are the same shape! It would be very beneficial for your eye health if you eat iced donuts, cinnamon donuts or jam filled  doughnuts! And just in case you are wondering why I am spelling " doughnuts" and " donuts" two different ways, it is because the health findings will help people who live in every country of the world, and I don't want anyone to miss out on knowing about it, because they spell the word differently!  

 Next test was that I had to stick out my tongue so that Doctor Teddy could look at it! I felt so impolite doing this! But , he asked me do it! It was a cold day also, and my tongue got quite chilly when it went outside of my mouth! 

    Ouchity ouch, ouch, ouch ouch! I do NOT like my blood pressure being taken! The wraparound on my teddy arm is so very tight and hurts! There is also friction caused by my teddy fur! I get  a little bit scared also when a machine is pumping up my arm! Oh well, I suppose it is a good training workout for Doctor Teddy if he wants to enter the hand pumping Olympics event?! 

  It was sooooo cool! I have xylophone knees! It is true! It is really is! Doctor Teddy played a tune on my knees! He said that it was to test my reflexes. It felt so tingly! I am soooo glad that my knees sounded melodic and harmonious! 

  My health check up is now over for another year! I got quite a good report! I think that i will celebrate with some fruit cake! That sounds yummy and Doctor Teddy would approve...I think?! 

  Until next time.

Hello everyone! It's just me Kiosk teddy bopping away, singing " hooray", saying " yay yay" , and enjoying the sunny Spring day! ( I was in a little rhyming mood just then! ) I am soooooo happy that Springtime is here! My little bird friend, , Martha the Magpie ( hmm...it is very, very wise to not argue   with her! Her beak is quite " peckish" which means that she can " peck" you! It doesn't mean that she gets hungry a lot! You also are not allowed to have red/orange hair if you are friends with her!  Well, you can have this colour hair, but if you do, you must be a kind " bird nest" philanthropist and be very willing to give up parts of your hair for her nest! My suggestion to you if you would like to be friends with her is to dye your hair green, eat a tub of ice cream, turn the tub upside down ( after it has been cleaned of course) and put the tub on your head when chatting to her! And...do NOT mention the  word " Collingwood " to her ! If you do, you will not stop her warbling the Collingwood theme song or talking about the players! ) is very happy to have Spring weather also! She practices every day in her bathroom in front of a mirror her melodious songs that she warbles! 

My other bird friend, Pete the penguin  enjoys Springtime fishing in the sunshine! I was sooooo honoured the other day! He even told me his secret method of catching fish! I am sure that he won't mind me telling you? The bait that he uses is a cupcake with strawberry icing and a cherry on top! The fish are  always attracted to yummy cupcakes! 

 My friend Edna the Emu really, really likes Springtime, because it means that lots of families start having outdoors picnics and barbecues! That means that Edna can just nonchalantly happen to pass nearby them and grab an extra cooked sausage  or a  yummy sandwich for herself to eat! She has a wide variety of delicious cuisines to choose from, depending on what the families bring to eat or cook for lunch! 

   So....we all are enjoying Springtime! My plan is to chase butterflies to keep fit! Don't worry though! I will only chase them, not catch them! 

    I will say goodbye now and go and read a book in the sunshine! 

        Until next time.
