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
