Hey Mummy!

Today we came back from a short trip to the south of Germany. We made a lot of pics, but here is the first. The others will follow this week:

Hello Mummy!

As I promised, here are the pics of our weekend trip!

We visited the technical museum in Sinsheim. There are old cars. bikes and planes exhibited.
Also a few pipe organs are in the museum. And if you put in a coin, it plays a song. The crazy Wavy Gravy invited me for a dance 
No, it´s nothing between us, we are just beary friends 

In the afternoon we were on a medieval market in Angelbachtal. There I could look at some typical medieval items. E.g. armoured gloves!

At a booth for medieval clothing I tried a skirt. Ot was too big 

We met a few other TVs at the market and watched the knights tournament together. I don´t know who won, but we all had fun 

Many greetings to Australia from your
Bernie

Hello Mummy!

Today we made a hiking trip to the Staffelberg. Baerle was our leader. He has got much experiences in climbing. Although I am very small I made a good job in hiking.
And an even better job at the tavern on top of the mountain 

Hey Mummy!

Today Twixx, one of Hostmum´s TVs came back! He arrived in a spectacular way. We didn´t exactly knew what´s going on when we heard a helicopter above our heads. It landed right between us. We thought about some aliens, but then Twixx came out!
We watched together the pictures of his trips and he told us everything about his adventures. Brave little guy!

Tomorrow he will continue his journey, he will go to Scotland with
Ravyna We said goodbye and wished them a nice trip!

Love you, Mummy!

Hello Mummy!

Today sun was so pretty shining and hostmum said this might be the last summer sunday this year. Autumn is coming soon 

So we decided to do something special outside.
We made some sandwiches with butter, turkey ham, cheese and cucumber. We all helped together, each TV did what he or she can do best. I layed the cucumber slices on top and at least Jethro clapped the slice of bread. Hostmum said she helps us cutting the sandwich in 10 pieces. Then we had to pack each piece in aluminium foil. We packed all the pieces into our picnic basket and went to the garden.
I was allowed to sit in the front basket of Baerles bike 

Yeah, here is the right place for a picnic, a teddy bears picnic! Certainly the other TVs were invited, too 

We unpacked our sandwiches and hostdad spent some beer 
Later in the evening Baerle played  the guitar and I must say he played wonderful! So much romantic songs...
Mummy; wavy Gravy sat in the deckchair next to me.. he is such a charming bear  We spent the last summer sunday together...

AND I FULFILLED A LIFEMISSIONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Hello Mummy!

Today hostmum asked us if we would like to help her. Of course, we will!
She wants to paint one wall in the kitchen. Therefore we had to mask the wall with adhesive tape. I helped Baerle to do this work correct.
Fimbo wanted to start the painting. I don´t know why but he likes this colour very much 

I took the smallest paint-brush and painted the corners.

Now the kitchen looks very nice! 

Hey Mummy!

So much to do today!

At first we had a farewell. Fimbo_Fimble left us. We said Goodbye to him and wished him a comfort journey.

On our way back from the postoffice hostmum said that we would visit the brand new shopping amll in Lichtenfels. It was opened yesterday, so we will be one of the first customers!

There was a merry-go-round where Wavy and me took a ride 

In the mall are a lot of stores, but we girls liked the shop for deco most 

Look what we bought! Some christmas tree balls, a bowl and plates in TV size! So we´ll have soon a delicious dinner together!

Love you,

Bernie

Hello Mummy!

Today we made a test. We tested cookies! This is a yummie job  Hostmum and we looked in a magazine for a good recipe. We decided to bake lemon cookies! We needed a lot of ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, one egg, butter, jelly and marzipan. Soeren put everything in the shopping trolley and brought it into the kitchen. I put 100g sugar into the bowl. The others added 500g flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 250g butter and one egg. Then hostmum helped us. She kneaded th edough until it was a smooth ball. After cooling it was put on a baking tray. Oooops, what´s that? It looks like a pizza now 
But hostmum said this is jelly and grated marzipane on it 
After baking we needed more sugar! Wavy said I am his Sweetie
We mixed sugar and lemon juice for an icing.

Ready! Enjoy our sweet and colourful cookies!

Your Bernie

Hello Mummy!

Hostdad is a very good cook, and his most famous meal are Tortellini with cream sauce, bacon and peas.
We were not allowed to help today, we were invited for meal!
But we sneaked a peek in the pots.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh, looks yummie!

We took place on the table and enjoyed our Tortellinis. Mummy, I would like to share them with you, but we ate it all

But if you want, I can cook for you, when I am back. I promise!

Yours, Bernie

Dear Mummy!

Do you know what snow is? I do!!! Thank god I have my scarf with me. Here is snowfall since a few days. We waited impatiently until hostmum came back from work.

Then Wavy Gravy, Huli Hutu and me took the sledge and went out. We went together with Huli Hutu because we hoped the is a bit more experienced with snow than a californian and an australian bear...

We took the sledge and went downhill 

Huuuuuuu, I felt the wind in my fur 

But then suddenly the sledge stopped and we fell aboard. But don´t worry, we are well. We only had to dry and warm up on the heater

Yours, Bernie

Dear Mummy, today something crazy was going on in the living room: We saw a real tree there! It must have been grown during the night! But hostmum explained that this is our christmas tree and we are allowed to help to decorate it!
I choose the Santa´s face for my branch.
After we finished we felt really ... something holy??? I don´t know why 

But take a look at our chrsitmas tree! Isn´t it pretty?

Mummy, I wish you a merry christmas!!!

Your Bernie

Happy new year, dear Mummy!

We celebrated the New years eve in the garden. Hostdad made a big campfire and hang a pot over it. There he roasted meat and vegetables for a goulash. The whole stuff had to cook 3 hours! During this time we sat together at the fire and talked about the last year and what the new will bring.

When it was midnight I gave Wavy Gravy a big kiss!

Yours, Bernie

Hello my dear Mummy!

Today we enjoyed the winter day and spent it in a museum for tin figurines. It is located in the Plassenburg, one of the most impressing castles in Germany.

There are a lot of pretty exhibits, e.g. a scenery of the christmas market in Nuremberg, some garden sceneries and a cupid

But the most wonderful exhibit was a big diorama (3x3m!) of the Serengeti!

Kisses to Australia!

Bernie

Dear Mummy!

Today we arrived in Bad Berleburg. Hostmum will be here for regimen for 5 weeks, and we are allowed to accompany her.

At first we inspected the little city. There are very nice houses, a castle and apark with old trees and a pond. In the park we found a little house. That would be perfect for me and Wavy... 

Wavy and me really enjoyed this day, because we knew that it would be one of our last days together. Hostmum told me that you arranged a trip to UK for me! Although I am a little bit sad to leave Wavy, I am happy to continue my journey. And hostmum promised me that Wavy and me will meet again!

Dear Mummy!

Today it´s time to leave Germany! All of my TV friends said Goodbye... My bear fellow Baerle, the lovely monkey couple Joesy and 3*Euro, Huli Hutu, Fipsy, Lina, Jethro, Maeusle and Mr.Casanova and last but not least Wavy, my love...
We made a last group photo and then I hopped in my envelope. Wavy gave me all of his love and a big kiss. We promised that we will meet again. So it´s not so hard to continue my journey.

UK, be prepared for an Australian bear! 

Yours in love, Bernie
