A gray day that saw me wandering about our limited town looking for a Teddy Bear. People keep having kids and the only gift is a Teddy Bear and could I find one? No! There were varieties of soft toys, some affordable, but no actual Teddy Bear available. I was about to give up and search online when I passed the charity shop with one in the window, cheap but nice. I had to check it was a special buy and not a second hand thing, I am not that mean, but it was indeed a special purchase so in the pocket it went and soon, after I have adapted the price ticket, it will be prepared for handing to the happy worn out mum.
Once I decided to search the web for Teddy Bears I discovered just how many people sell them, often hand made, jolly expensive but decent bears. There is a big business in old bears often worth vast sums of money. New bears, Steiff of Germany is a great name, retail for over a hundred or more pounds, and vintage ones cost thousands! If I ever have money I will ignore banks and out my money into vintage Teddy Bears and these will definitely keep their value.
Ma hoose...honest!

Teddy bears might be a safer investment than vintage wine...if the economic situation deteriorates further there would be the temptation to drink the latter...
Fly, You are so right!
Strange not being able to get a simple teddy bear so easily. Like when you can get salted caramel and gazpacho icecream but can't get ordinary vanilla!
Jenny, Thanks for that, I want a salted caramel and gazpacho icecream now!!!
The day here has been fluctuating between grey and blue...similar to yesterday. I hope the grew takes over and brings with it some precipitation!
Lee, Precipitation, we only get rain...
