Do you like playing hopscotch? I do!! When I was a little teddy,that was how I learnt how to count to nine! My teddy friends and I would go " paw hopping" and singing as we hopped on each of the numbers of the hopscotch court! And...it was sooo much fun because when we got tired of hopping, we would all sit down and eat some scotch shortbread fingers, because if your playing hop-"scotch", you really do need to have scotch fingers don't you think?!   

  Achoo! Achoo! I have a very bad case of hay fever! And I have quite a big teddy nose! I feel very sniffly and my teddy bead eyes are sore and are watery. I am not complaining though! I don't what to be known as a complainer teddy! I will soldier on...march on...battle through the war of hayfevery opposition! Would you like to know how my hayfevery bout started? I will tell you! It is the lovely Heather's fault! She put into the Kiosk some flower themed hankies! I was inspecting the hankies... then I started sneezing! The flowers on the hankies made me feel very sneezy!  What do I do? How do I stop feeling sneezy? 

Rosie the Rose liking teddy, Greta the Gerbera liking teddy, Sally the sunflower teddy and Helena teddy who likes hydrangeas really, truly and completely like Springtime! They think that it is the bestest time of the year!

         There is something that I feel a little confused about though. I have a Canadian teddy friend called Cathy. She is always talking about maple leaves. But...I don't think that eating maple syrup leaves is a wise decision! Although it may taste like maple syrup, I would prefer to have golden syrup leaves! They are a bit more sweeter! Oh, please don't tell Deidre the Dentist teddy that I said that! She wouldn't like me be eating too much very sweet food! Did your know that she owns an apple orchard? She does! The varieties of apples that she sells are : * Bear Delicious,* Beary gran Smith, *pink ted-lady and *jono-Ted    I enjoy eating apples!   I don't like apple pips though! Did you know that if you swallow a pip, an apple tree grows inside you! It would feel kind of odd and strange I think! I don't want to have a fruit tree, do you?! 

  Well, I had best grab some more tissues for my hay fever! 

     Until next time.
