A trip to Manchester means that we of course came to see @reddyteddy.bsky.social. The Humans went to a gig last night, so we got right down to business. Our only regret was not bringing the beer ladder! #SmallBearsNeedBeer

Went for a #geocaching walk @nationaltrust.org.uk Dunham Massey. 2 5 stage AdLabs and 2 traditional caches and saw lots and lots of deer today. It was 🥶, so cake and hot chocolate were needed! #smallbearadventures

@humph-hugo.bsky.social We are in London on Saturday and we're wondering if you had any 'research' trips planned and if you need 'research assistants' for testing beer quality

@samsgromit.bsky.social IT'S AN ACTUAL CAKE FRIDGE!!!!!

We're watching #UpHellyAa! We love #Shetland and can't wait to go back!!

'Absolutely driech, Blueberry.' 'At least the scaffolding is gone and not blocking our view, Milly.' 'At least the roof isn't leaking anymore.' 'That too. But it also means there's less money for adventures now.' *mammoth sigh* #rainyday ☔

Blueberry Bear here - It's Blue Monday and that means that it's a great day to celebrate all things blue - including ME!!! Also a great day to listen to New Order. 💙 #BlueMonday

'The snow hasn't lasted long, has it, Blueberry?' 'It was still pretty treacherous under paw on the way to the supermarket.' 'It wasn't that bad.' 'You're more an ice age creature than me, Milly.' #SnowMelt

Everything coming from the States reminds me of this timeless wisdom from Doctor Who:

'You know Milly, it suddenly feels like the excuse we gave Professor Wriggles worth @Emergency_Teds feels less like an excuse, and more like a reason.' ❄️🌨️❄️ #Snow #SnowDay #StayHome

'I'm not sure about our view being blocked, Blueberry.' 'Scaffolding does have a bit of a cage-y feel, doesn't it, Milly?' 'We could climb it and practice our #MountaineeringBears skills?' 'Not with the storm coming.' #StayHome

So sad that it's almost over 😓 #FreeCTBear

It's almost the end of CT Bear's Mission. 😓 #FreeCTBear

Did a bit of moon gazing this evening. #SuperMoon

'Look, Blueberry, snow! Let's run out and frolick in it!' 'Nope! I'm going back to bed, Milly.' #hibernation #snowyday ❄️🌨️🥶

'I can't believe we missed some of the chocolate decorations on the tree, Milly. I'm a bit disappointed in myself.' 'Human hid some of them really well, Blueberry. But now that the tree is down and we've found them...' *munch* *munch* *mumbles* 'it would be rude not to.' #SmallBearsLoveChocolate 🍫

We wholeheartedly approve of this Hogmanay breakfast suggestion 🫡😋

We're awake and blearry eyed and have already been to our first #geocaching event this year. We have been recommended some new series to do, so we are making some lists. Or will, once we've had a nap 😴 #NewYearsDay

We forgot to post this yesterday, but the day after Boxing Day is PIE Day!!!! We made an excellent turkey and leek pie, and had excellent beer to ho with it! #SmallBearsNeedBeer

To complete a special #geocaching challenge, we had to take our photo next to a 25. We scratched our heads where to find one that wasn't a random house, then remembered our boating bear friend @sonningbear.bsky.social told us that canal bridges have numbers!

Merry Christmas Everybear! We had a big feast today including gingerbread stout cake! Although it suspiciously ended up with a hole through the middle*scratches head* #Christmas 🌲

“IT’S CHRISTMAS!” shouts Snowman in the style of Noddy Holder. “It actually *is* the First Day of Christmas,” agrees CTB, “the Advent calendar has finished.” “But the Twelve Days have only just beguuuuuuun” sings Snowman. #HappyChristmas 🎄⛄️

Thank you to all of our furends who gave us cards and gifts (we weren't allowed to open them until today). Sorry that we (as in Human) are rubbish at doing the same and will try to do better next year. Merry Christmas Everybear! #Christmas2025 #MerryChristmas

We are in our Christmas pyjamas and settling down to watch Muppets Christmas Carol and making a start on the most important parts of the season! #SmallBearsNeedBeer #SmallBearsLoveCheese #ChristmasEve

Human has to Office today, so we are being #HelpfulBears by shaking all of the presents under the tree to check for anything breakable and shaking the tree to make sure the decorations are securely attached. 😇 #ChristmasEve

#Advent 24 - t’was Christmas Eve, babe, and in the drunk tank an old man said to me “won’t see another one” - yet here we are with another one again - its a repeat of the classic Pogues song recreated by the dangling duo.

We had a trip to Canons Ashby @nationaltrust.org.uk to see our Small Human Cub friend and his parents. We had fun looking at all of the decorations and looked at the 12C priory church and found a geocache at a nearby 13C church. And there was cake! #SmallBearAdventures #Cake #cayk #geocaching

Fueling ourselves at Cherry Reds before joining our pals for the Bearington Arms all dayer! #SmallBearsNeedBeer #SmallBearsNeedPancakes

Out to PUB tonight with @BrumBeerBabs tonight with visits to BurningSoulBrew Attic Brewery Barrel Store and The Wolf. Many beers had, including a rather purple one with elderberries. Such a lovely bunch of women to spend time with! #SmallBearsNeedBeer

It's that time of year! 🕎 Would anyone like some? #SmallBearsLoveLatkesb

'Look at the sky, Blueberry! What's that saying about 'Pink sky in morning?' 'It means it's best just to go back to bed, Milly.' *yawns* #hiberation #pinksky

Last Friday, we did more #geocaching at Killerton @nationaltrust.org.uk. We found 16/17 and found some interesting containers, then went to a Geocaching event afterwards. And of course, there was cake!

'Absolutely #driech Milly.' 'It's a good thing we had outdoor adventures when it was dry this weekend, Blueberry.' 'I think we should stay in and eat cheese. We have some Wild Garlic Yarg in the fridge'. #RainyDay ☔ #cheese 🧀

We arrived in Devon late Wednesday and went to @nationaltrust.org.uk Killerton on Thursday to see the Christmas decorations and to find a few geocaches in Danes Wood. This was just because we knew there's a rope swing there to play on!

But the most important part of going to #Bruges was seeing our friends, including @beerbear21.bsky.social @hungarianbear.bsky.social and @bearemyted.bsky.social. This naturally involved beer! #smallbearsneedbeer

Our Human admin has been behind on our posts *pokes with tusk*. We had an awesome #geocaching adventure in Bruges last week. We went to a meetup with other geocachers, then did a highly recommend series called Closer to Memling where we had to solve lots of puzzles! #smallbearadventures

Human took the Ranger group to the Christmas Market lady night. While we can't quite believe that they didn't eat all the Timbits, we aren't complaining about getting the leftovers 😁 #SmallBearsLoveDonuts

First night in Bruges last night seeing our wonderful pals. Also got right down into the most important part of Belgian culture #SmallBearsNeedBeer 🇧🇪

We are behind on posting our adventures. We visited @nationaltrust.org.uk Hardwick Hall on Friday for their Elizabethan Wintertide celebrations that was all about a visit from The Lord of Misrule. Which wasn't us. We are definitely proper ladies here #mischief #SmallBearAdventures

It’s day one of #Advent and Snowman has already committed #Whamicide, taking CT Bear out with him…

He's BAAAAACK!!!! #FreeCTBear #BiovacBear

It's almost time to #FreeCTBear!!!!

I'm trying to distract Blueberry Bear by trying to decide what we will wear in our upcoming holiday and now she's not only in a flounce after someone suggested lemon and blueberry cake, she's in a tizzy looking for her Christmas hat. #SmallBearPanic

Eeeeek! They're coming!!!! And we can't wait!!!!!! It will soon by time to #FreeCTBear! #BivouacBear

We had a day out @nationaltrust.org.uk Charterhouse Coventry! It was really interesting, and included interesting medieval wall paintings and carvings, and a pretty garden that's just starting to go to sleep for the winter. #SmallBearAdventures

'Absolutely #driech, Blueberry. Not really a day for going out.' 'A good day to stay in and eat cheese, Milly.' #StormClaudia #RainyDay ☔🧀

Golden syrup cake, anybear? #StuffieBaking #StuffieBeakeOff

We found a bottle of German beer in the back of the beer cupboard 🇩🇪. We don't know how long it was there for, but we decided it was a good excuse to make chicken schnitzel and have a little belated Oktoberfest celebration. #SmallBeaesNeedBeer

Blueberry Bear here. Milly is still upset and hiding in the blanket fort after last night's fireworks. I thought I'd be a helpful bear and make soup and meatballs for spaghetti. These are *gulps* full of vegetables and might be considered 'healthy' 😖 #NoVegForBears

*BANG* *Mammoth quake* 'Why do people do this every year, Blueberry?' 'I'm a Canadian Bear, Milly. Even after all these years, Bonfire Night is one British tradition I still don't understand.' *BANG BANG* 'Um, any space for a bear in the blanket fort?' #BonfireNight #scaredybears
