While we -Mki de Goodaboom, Truffle McFurry and me- were in Fowey, Cornwall recently, we came across this beautiful antique Winnie the Pooh bear.

I’m not a fan of the stylised Disney bear version which always looks superficial to me, but there was something about this one, sat forlornly in a window that exuded a certain tender gravitas and sweet melancholy, something that spoke of A.A.Milne.

It’s the best Winnie the Pooh I’ve seen!

Hallo everybody, Truffle McFurry here!

I am sorry that I was not writing very much in “Go Teddy”… I was so busy, travelling and writing a book! I will tell you about the book soon.

With my parents, the French artist Miki de Goodaboom and the English rocker Kev Moore, we went on a painting trip to Devon and Cornwall in England. it was fabulous! Mom and Dad came back very big, as they were having cream teas all the time, with tons of cream!

We saw many Teddies, because they love Teddies so much in England. But today it is not about Teddies, it is about The Gollies. I know they are a species in danger, but I have decided to take them under my protection the first time I saw one. It was Auntie’s Ann Golly, from when she was a little child. We are the best mates now. it was Auntie Ann who told me about them in danger.

In the lovely town of Truro in Cornwall, we met 3 Gollies. I asked my mom to paint them to show everybody how beautiful they are!

If you love the Gollies too, join us please!

Love you all

Hallo everybody!

We have just come back from a trip to Denmark, my Mom making beautiful paintings and my Dad playing wild music, and between, we were visiting many places!

We were at that park called “Tivoli Gardens”, with many rides! I have never been before in such a fun place, with so many rides. I was not allowed to go on them though, my Mom was much too scared for me. I wanted to go on the sea cruise on the Viking boat ride, but she did not want. Then I asked her to make a painting of me there in my seaman outfit, it is better than nothing!

Love you all, take care

Hello everybody, i’s me, Truffle! I hope you are all well and still loving and protecting us, Teddy Bears from around the world.

I am very fine, thank you:-)

We were on a long wonderful holiday on that island. It is called Malta. We took the plane there. My Mom even painted me at the airport in Valencia in Spain!

My Auntie from France, Mahe The Free, joined us there, and brought with her my cousin Galway. He is an Irish bear, you know, she found him and adopted him in Ireland in the summer. It was the first time I met him in person, it was so nice!

We went everywhere together and had a great time. the first day we went to that lovely town by the sea, there were many beautiful boats, in all colours of the rainbow. We loved it there, we had such fun on the boats and everybody was looking and smiling at us. We were the only Teddy Bears around!

Love you all, take care!
