Teddys evening out! 

Teddy was allowed to stay up late as a special treat so he could come along to Glevum WIs meeting on14th May.🧸

Teddy was hoping to meet some relatives,  who he hadnt seen in quite a while, 

The evening was very interesting, all members including Teddy really enjoyed the speaker Lorraine Hichings and her knowledge of The Teddy Bear.

Teddy was very happy to see and hear all the gossip from his vast family members, Paddington had been especially  busy and had lots to tell everyone!

Teddy took full advantage of the refreshments available.

After having a lovely evening, Teddy fell asleep in the car going home 😴
