This was my first teddy bear. He is known as “Grandma’s bear” because he belonged to my Grandmother who made his waistcoat with silver buttons.

When we moved house many years ago he went missing, and I was so worried and could not believe that I had lost my family bear. He was missing for several years , and then one day I went up into the attic and looked in an old trunk and there wrapped up in tissue paper was my bear.It was after finding him that  I bought him his little wing chair and also his pocket watch.

He sits in my workroom  with all my other bears for company. We photographed him in the garden among the hostas and ferns.
