#MountaineeringBears Thank Munro and instructors from Bear Lodge. And thank you all for being such fun fellow climbers. We had some scary moments but we made it. 🎉🍾

#MountaineeringBears Arthur says he hopes that Florence enjoyed her first climb. She was great company.

@munrobear.bsky.social Arthur is stocking up on honey fudge to share in case of scary moments.

Ginger decided she wanted a flower button on her fascinator instead of a bead. Such a fusspot!

Ginger: New jacket and fascinator.

@beingbigbrother.blog You know those cartoons, like Tom & Jerry, where the aggressor always comes off worst? Well, the Caroline and Richard stuff is getting a bit like that. She bullies him; and then he outwits her.

Arthur is practising scrambling again, ready for his next adventure with @munrobear.bsky.social and colleagues.

It's that time of the year when our pumpkin friends join us to celebrate.

The first episode of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' was shown on BBC1 on this day in 1969.

@mrquacks1.bsky.social It will be freeflow at Paycockes, all day, during the first weekend of October if you are interested.

Time to ensure that our prickly friends have somewhere for the winter. 🦔

Hoom won this fun raffle prize today at the Mid Essex Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers. It cheered her up immensely. 🐑😄

@sonningbear.bsky.social Hello Sonning. Good to see you.

Mrs Moose (who is actually a reindeer) isn't enjoying the hot weather. So our bear hug has invited her to join the hug. We have a cool corner with an efficient fan for her to relax in.

All ready for cricket today.

Happy Easter to all our stuffed friends. Xx

Doing important work- guarding the cabin fruitbowl. #HoomsCruise

All packed and ready to #stowaway. The hooms don't know we're coming 🫎🧸😀

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Prof Bear is feeling a bit sad at the state of the human world. But the rest of the hug plans to cheer him up with some stroopwafels for tea.

My friend Henry (who was also my student) & I decided to create some joy in –20°C weather in the Yukon and share it with you all. He is in grade 5 now. We are sending joy, hope, and positivity. (Share such messages to train your algorithm to bring positive and human-centric stories to your feed)

Not supporting the "cancel Trump's visit to King Charles" campaign because it would bring UK down to Trump's level. And we have a goal, ie peace in Ukraine. We need to smooth the path diplomatically, not indulge in playground tit for tat.

Welcome new followers. I hope you enjoy the posts and BlueSky as much as me. Get your friends to follow and we will explore the universe together, having a ball on the way 😀

Project 2025 official Biblical revision.

President Biden should have done it

A better picture of Isla and Calf. They still insist they saw a haggis.

Isla and Highland Calf (Calf for short) think they saw a wild haggis in the garden. Unlikely in Essex, but who knows!

@bosunthebear.bsky.social Waving to welcome you 🧸🧸🧸👋

Prof Bear is thinking about the state of the human world.

@katrinje1804.bsky.social Hello from our hug. There are quite a lot of us - just a few in this picture.

The hooms were away over Christmas, so we said they could keep our Bear Tree until Candlemas.

##MountaineeringBears Ginger contented herself with a bit of a sit down while Arthur showed off.

##MountaineeringBears Arthur couldn't resist a bit of a climb up the pretend foliage on Deck 6.

@munrobear.bsky.social Thank you so much for such fun. 🧸🧸🧸🥰

@smudger63.bsky.social Hello there from Edward Bear etc and Susan

@sherlockguest.bsky.social I hope you recognise us. If not, greetings from Susan Baines

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

Something peaceful in these troubled times.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,169,081!

Difficult decision about which bears should go with hooms on cruise. Mustn't be too old and fragile (@Mr Quacks will understand) Must be small enough to pack. Must enjoy being at sea. Mustn't frighten cabin steward. Hmmmm 🤔

Delicious cake the hooms left out.

Calf: Can we do this jigsaw please? Isla: Oh alright then!

Isla: the weather won't make up its mind. Calf: it's sunny, then rain, then 🌞 then 🌧 Isla: let's stay in and do a jigsaw Calf: yes. Let's choose one of the hooms' to do.

A grey and damp day, so staying tucked up with a good book. A nice juice crime novel 🔍⚰️🤔

Help yourselves to a Valentine's biscuit (or two) ❤

Hooms' daughter. In Qatar. Not on holiday, but during a site visit for work. We never know what she will get up to next. 🐻🐻🐻😊
