IT'S WINNIE THE POOH DAY!

Come meet the gang! Well, I guess you can hardly call this little group a 'gang' even using the loosest of terms.

Here we have Christopher Robin, who the stories were written for, watching Owl come in for a landing. Next is Tigger with his bouncing tail - he's the only one, you know. And Eeyore - poor Eeyore - seems nothing ever works exactly right for him. Always has a rainy cloud in his vicinity.

Then is the perfect mother Kanga with her lovely daughter Roo. This is ever-so-pink Piglet who is so child-like in his innocence. And finally Winnie the Pooh - The specialist bear in the world (although Paddington is a very close 2nd.)! He has the most vivid imagination . . . just seems like so many ideas just - don't - quite - work - exactly - the - way - they - were - planned!

Yes, that wonderful icon of childhood - and all his friends! How can anyone NOT fall in love with them? I've always wanted to visit the 100 Acre Wood and have a spot of tea and honey with Christopher Robin and his associates!

TTFN!
