Meeting and greeting some new friends. @whitacrebespoke #centringthepast

Mind your 🐾 near that sharp saw blade. @whitacrebespoke #centringthepast

Sat on top of the cutting ramp, ready to double up on the really big hand saw! @whitacrebespoke #centringthepast

Bit of scribing. @whitacrebespoke #centringthepast

Hunslet has been helping his friend Adam @whitacrebespoke and others at the #centringthepast event this week #hoarparkcraftvillage

Our busy 🐻 has been out and about helping his friend @whitacrebespoke who is keeping old woodworking skills and crafts alive. Here our friendly 🐻 is helping park up the company vehicle.

Millsie told me that there were some #jaffacakes at the bottom of my box.

I don't think i am cut out for this sort of work. Time for some tea and homemade materials cake.

As a hacksaw wielding Millise got closer and closer to our stuck 🐻, Hunslet started to panic, sweat pouring from fur as he tried to free himself. All off a sudden, Hunslet flew backwards as the sweat softened the glue and released his paw. Phew!!!!

Oh dear Hunsie, what have you done this time?asked Millsie. As you are very much stuck, maybe we need to chop you 🐾 off! And with that, Millsie wielded the hacksaw.

Oh *£#>×*&! exclaimed Hunslet! I appear to have stuck myself to the car. Millsie, can you come and assist?

Glue! Glue! Glue! That's what it needs!

Well i have some spares!

How are we going to repair this?

I am not sure how this happened said Hunslet.

I like it when my PA goes shopping.

Now, this is my kind of career.

Maybe not such a good idea!

How about a new career with food? Time to do some reading and learning. #mealsbymitch #mealsunderafiver

To get out of the work clothes and into some of my PA's finest threads. May need some 🕶 to go with that shirt. #80svibes #miamivicebear

And some new online courses to research to see if they are of benefit. @cousinscrappy this might be a good one for you.

Time for this 🐻 to do some further education.

But my 🐾 are the right size for cleaning and polishing! #mindthembreakables

Struggling with the vacuuming as my paws are way too big for the handle. But it is the thought that counts!

Folding the clean washing in preparation to putting it away.

Having had a hug from Millsie and starting to feel better, Hunslet decided it was time to help out around the house and get some of the chores done. Time to fill the swirly whirly machine, Hunslet's arch nemesis!

Or how about #onlypaws?

Warning. Naked 🐻 photo. Or maybe an #onlybears page 🤔?

Mmmmm, thought Hunslet. What does the future hold in store for me? Maybe i can start a bearlesque show

So over the last couple of weeks, our 🐻 has really struggled. Not able to get into a regular sleeping pattern, being worried for the future, being in a malaise and the feeling of being stuck in a rut. Please remember, you are not alone. #itsokaytonotbeokay #itsgoodtotalkaboutit

Good Morning Everyone. Hunslet has an announcement to make. He has decided to step away from his day to day role. He has made some great friends and wishes everyone all the best for the future. Hunslet will be taking some time with Millsie to relax and recuperate.

I have found a box that sums me up

Hunslet says it is nice to be back at home and around those that he loves

Hunslet was amazed to see it still carried his old depots' tops code.

Hunslet heard the unmistakable rumble of and #EE powered @growler @railopsgroup Class 37. As quick as a flash, Hunslet was up and about, giving it a good check over to see if there were any misplaced jaffa cakes from the last time he saw it.

The train is now ready for its test run. One happy and proud 🐻

Everyone has been saying that they can't find the interlock. Here it is!!!!!!

Checking to see the doors open and the correct indications are seen

Hunslet carrying out the door test.

I will give my PA a hand to do some panel removal with the "ugga ugga" gun but may struggle with my 🐾 size

I wonder if there any jaffa cakes in here.

With the hot and humid weather now amongst us, Hunslet decided it would be a good idea to check and clean the HVAC filters and condenser. "Wow, they were dirty" said Hunslet as he started to scrub them clean.

"Race time!"

Hunslet was out and about this morning and came across this trolley. "Now this looks like it could be fun" he thought

Farnborough!

Evening All. Out and about doing door testing!

Hunslet was sorry to miss his old pal Reggie out on familiar rails today. Did anyone catch any photos? He would love to see them. #323s #Reggie #railwaybear

Always one to make sure that he keeps his workspace spick and span, Hunslet had been busy tidying up. What a good 🐻.

After a very busy week for our hardworking 🐻, he took the chance to put his 🐾 up and have a donut or 5 with a cuppa. Next week will be another busy period, Hunslet, so grab a chance to relax whilst you can.
