Sublime sunrise over the Brugge-Gent canal, 9.10am this morning.

Frozen or partially frozen canals in Brugge yesterday. #Bruges #Brugge

We're going to be the first customers of the year in our favourite bear pub! 🐻 🍻

Happy New Year! Last night Arpad found a handy beer mat holder to sit in. It's great as it means he can't fall over when drunk! We need one of these at home 🤣 🐻 🍻

#BestPhotos2025. Oh the difficulty to limit to 4 pictures This first offering is a testament to the kindness of the Stuffie/Anipal community. I had posted a photo of Wimbledon ready Conney and received through the post this beautiful outfit specially made for her.

That's my cycling done for the year. Finished with a new record total of 8422km (5233 miles), beating my previous (2024) record by 306km! Photo = my favourite photo of the year, taken at 9.10am on 13 January 2025 while cycling on the Brugge-Oostende canal.

#WednesdayLunch #LambCut #Endives #BakedPotatoes Last day of 2025! 4°C, grey & dull. Lunch is lamb cut, braised endives + baked potatoes. Excellent Saint-Chinian. No special activities planned today! Wishing all followers, likers, reposters & commenters a wonderful 2026!

You don't know what day it is. You're eating countless meals a day with lots of snacks in between. You're napping throughout they day. Either it's the time between Christmas and New Year or you're a cat.

Hunslet decided he wanted to make his own pizzas. Here he is just before starting, unfortunately his PA didnt get any post pizza making photos but you can imagine flour and bear fur don't mix that well

The paw of Christmas yet to come. . . Has someone been watching A Christmas Carol

Merry Christmas to all furriends here and everywhere.

The Christmas sossidges, and some very strange stuffing balls, are ready!! #sossidjwarrior

Delilah Bear wishes all of our friends a very Happy Christmas (so do I but she insisted on being photographed).😄

Delilah Bear drinks a Stille Nacht in cosy bar, De Kelk, before heading off to dinner. Dinner is a handy 2 doors away. #Brugge #Bruges

The biggest pink went for a rather breeze wander on the breach at #WestonSuperMare. Having seen the weather, Prentice decided to stay in the bear bag. #WindyEars

Theo @tourguideted.bsky.social and I found the secret bear storage from @beerbear21.bsky.social and @hungarianbear.bsky.social here in Bruges

Great time in Brugs beertje with @hungarianbear.bsky.social @campievanbears.bsky.social @beerbear21.bsky.social and Larry and Beamic.

Small bears need beer. @hungarianbear.bsky.social

A beautiful moonlit walk home. #Brugge #Bruges #Belgium

Delilah Bear will be arriving at the Brugge teddy meet up in an undignified manner @beerbear21.bsky.social

It’s #TerrierTuesday and time for a bit of #Earography courtesy of Pippa🌈 , not at all channeling her #BlackShuck 😬

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

Christmas bears and reindeer in the local garden centre. #Brugge

Cloud attacks windmill!! ##Brugge

A beautiful late afternoon in Brugge.

Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk as seen from Minnewater, Brugge, 8.43pm last night.

The Brugge Christmas tree was lit up last night.

This morning's sky in Brugge.

Going to need another trip to The Bottle Shop Bruges 🍻😄 @beerbear21.bsky.social @hungarianbear.bsky.social

Tonight it's the turn of Grumpus Bear to go to PUB. He's drinking Stille Nacht 2025 and you can just tell how much he's enjoying it 🤣 🐻 🍻

Delilah Bear starts Brugge Beer Festival with 2 beers and an emergency bottle of wine!! What could go wrong?!! @beerbear21.bsky.social

We've arrived an hour & five minutes early for Brugge Beer Festival, but we appear to be first (& second & third) in line, so mission accomplished 🤣 🍻 🇧🇪

At Brugge Beer Festival with @humph-hugo.bsky.social

Amazing fish and chips at the Dutch Bargain brewery tap yesterday. Not quite my usual Whale size but delicious cod with ultra crispy batter.

Tweedy, Harry and Larry are enjoying their arrival in Cantillon Brussels!

Italian sossidge for dinner! 😬 @hungarianbear.bsky.social @beerbear21.bsky.social

Arpad & I went to Oostende today and met some friendly locals outside the station.

A beautiful summer evening on the Belgian coast: just before sunset at De Haan.

Bear in my coffee! @hungarianbear.bsky.social @bonsvoeux1.bsky.social @lambicqueen.bsky.social @musinganorak.bsky.social

One week to go… Let’s make this huge! 25th May Parliament Sq 10am onwards.

Grilled sausages for dinner 😋

Cis allies: it's our duty to make transphobia socially unacceptable and we have the power to do so. Speak up, call it out, boot it out of your business, and if you have a transphobic friend, now is the time for that friendship to end.

If you are confused about what's been happening over the past few days. Here it is in the simplest terms possible: -There was a UK Supreme Court ruling. -It terrified a minority and stripped rights from them. -A group that hates that minority, funded by a billionaire, is celebrating. That's it.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

British cis women: please will you consider writing to your MP? It’s important that cis women in particular are seen to be angry about the repercussions of the SC ruling. There’s a lot of distress including suicidality on my timeline and in my DMs from the trans community. Thank you 🙏🏻

"You boy! What tariff is it today?"

Amazing atmosphere on Brugge Markt this morning at the Ronde van Vlaanderen team presentation. It was so packed they 'closed' it at 9am! Our view was fantastic: here's MVDP, Wout, Tadej & Ganna 🚲

This penguin is like "Tariffs, you say?"

Trump's foolishness has presented the perfect opportunity for cats and penguins to sign a trade deal - the fish will be ours!

Markets looking horrific again. Don't check your pension.
