Look where I have been...

rock climbing at Te Papa,

Mt Taranaki,

I even visited Peter Rabbit’s house in a secret location!

Enjoying Playcentre in the Park with Hutt Association,

and I even found a Street named after me – somewhere in Invercargill!

Where in the world is Somerset Bear?

Somerset Bear has been adventuring.

Where in the world is he up to now?

Canterbury Association Christmas Party

To get in the festive spirit I popped along to the Canterbury Playcentre Association Christmas 'do'. We all went ten pin bowling and had a great time. The balls were a wee bit heavy for me though. Then we had some lovely kai and a great game of Secret Santa. It seemed like a long wait for christmas!

Love from Somerset Bear

Hi everyone, I've been having so much fun in Canterbury that I've hardly had time to blog!

After Canterbury's AGM I got snaffled up by Samantha who couldnt wait to take me to her playcentre, North New Brighton! She showed me the long pier they have in New Brighton. They also have some very funny looking pirates!

Samantha found a bear suit at her Playcentre and dressed up like me just to make me feel at home, she loved giving me BEAR HUGS!

She also showed me how she could go down the slide all by herself now, it was a very fast slide. We had lots of fun playing on the fort and obstacle course with all the tamariki.

Breakfast at National Exec

I had a busy weekend in Palmerston North recently - supervising progress at the National Exec meeting. A bear has to keep his strength up. Here I am settling in for breakfast - my favourite HONEY!

Hey Somerset Bear here

Kia ora - how cool this is - my own blog site and all - this is going to make staying in touch with you all out there so much fun!!

I have been enjoying my stay at the Hutt Association, my goodness this lot know how to make a fella welcome.

Do hope that the winter has been ok for you all - mind you - with my lovely coat it is seldom a problem!! I have even made it up the mountain skiing this year - I will try to upload a photo to show you all. This stuff is all a bit new to me but I love a challenge!!

Now as you will know I'm a bit 'PAW' with my typing - but I do hope that you will leave me messages on my blog site - and I will do my best to answer questions too!!
This will be great spot for you to leave a message about booking a visit to your Association or centre. Dont forget to let me know if you need me to bring you a copy of my book of adventures.
Hear from you soon!! Maybe at National Executive in October.
