Hello everyone! It was sooooo cute last week! My little teddy friend, Penny the prep student pupil teddy, started teddy school for the first time! She was soooo excited! Her teddy fur was literally shaking and trembling with excitement! She just couldn't wait until the day when she could start school! But of course , she did have to wait, because everything can't happen at the one time or everything would be so very confusing! 

  I decided that I wanted to give her a " new starting school" present. But ...I didn't know what to give to her?! I thought and thought and puzzled my mind and ate a chocolate timtam because I heard that eating one is good for your mental health and thinking! Unfortunately, I must have eaten the wrong variety of timtam because it didn't help me to work out a gift! 

   I then decided to sleep on it, and see if I had a great idea appear in a dream? That didn't help either, because I don't think that Trixie the teddy Teacher would like little Penny bringing a sheep to school with her! I kept dreaming of sheep, shepherds and green pastures! Oh, it was a very peaceful and restful dream, but it didn't help by gift giving predicament! 

      I was going to buy her a school lunch box, but sadly all the lunch boxes that had pictures of teddies on them had sold out due to popular demand. The shop assistants didn't know when new stock would arrive, because they hadn't paid the extra 50 cent for priority postage when they sent their  order request. And...the lunch box stockists explained that they don't use the priority mail extra postage stamp either! 

   Soooo... I eventually decided to give her a fruit basket! Eating the fruit will help keep her healthy as she runs, hops and jumps around the schoolyard! And...she can give the big red apple to Trixie who is her teddy teacher , as a gift! 

Well, I must be off now. I need to catch up with the news of how Penny's school days have been going.

  Until next time,

   Munch on a juicy red apple! 

      Your friend,
