Adventures Of
Clay the Bear

I got a big surprise today when someone knocked on my door. “Who could that be?” I wondered. When I opened the door, the postman was there holding a parcel. It was a package for me. How exciting!

I couldn’t wait to open it and see what it was and who it was from. And when I did, what a surprise! I got a beautiful new cardigan to wear from a friend. What a lovely thought that was.

Later that evening, after a long day of playing in the garden, I snuggled down in my fluffy cardigan and started to relax. 

I enjoy watching the TV in the evenings. My favourite shows are the animal programmes, especially when there’s bears just like me! 

With my remote in my paws, and my beautiful cardigan keeping me warm and snuggly, I started to get a bit sleepy… zzzzzz

I had the best time with my family on our recent holiday to a small island called Mallorca! It was my very first time going on an aeroplane but Elodie and Florence took great care of me! They even let me do some drawing and share their sweets!

When we got to Mallorca we had to go in a car to a place called a hotel, apparently this was our house for the whole week, it was pretty great!

Going on holiday was so much fun! I went to the beach and Elodie carried me everywhere. The sand felt very soft in my paws!

I also went to an Aquarium, this is where they have lots of fish. Most of them were bigger than me and that was really scary! Florence reminded me they were all in tanks and couldn't come near me.

I even met a bear just like me! He also said his name was Clay, it was so strange I asked for a picture with him.

I was super sad to come home but I know that my next adventure will be just as fun! 

Today I got to visit a lovely park called Cannon Hill in Birmingham, England. It was a hot, sunny day so I needed my suncream on.

I really love it here because there are big outdoor spaces. I wish my back garden was this big! I would love to build a big tree house and invite my friends over for tea. 

There were so many trees for me to climb, it was great fun! I could see for miles around me up there.

There was a lovely lake where I took a ride on a boat, up and down. It was lovely and peaceful, listening to the birds singing to each other. I could see lots of children playing all sorts of games that looked so much fun. 

Then came my favourite part, time for the picnic! I had packed myself some sandwiches and fruit. The strawberries were delicious. 

Here’s a picture of me settling down under my favourite tree. 

What do you like doing at the park?

“What shall I do today?” I wondered. I decided it was a good day for an adventure, so I went outside into the back garden to see what I could find. There were some pretty flowers and plants. I found lots of new places to use in hide and seek! I took some pictures of them, but shhhhhhh don’t tell my friends!

As I moved through the bushes and the flowers, I came upon a water pump. Maybe my family used to use this back in the old days? I got my picture taken and moved on.

It wasn’t long before I came across some giant pots! “How did these get here?” I wondered. 

I wanted to get a closer look just in case there was some honey inside, so I climbed all the way to the top and peeped my head inside to see… It turned out to be a pretty little fountain! 

No delicious honey for me, but what a view I had up there! And what an adventure (although I did end up getting my ears wet! Maybe that can count as my bath time!)
