What a temperamental day we've had down here in Arundel, Sussex (talking about the weather of course!) One minute it's warm enough to sit without a jacket or a jumper, and the next you're sat wishing you had all your woolies with you!
For now the skies have calmed, there isn't much wind, and the sun is occasionally poking out from behind the old barn opposite, to say hello. Let's hope it stays this way!
It's Friday afternoon, and this means the weekend is ever so nearly here! As a new treat for Friday afternoons, we're going to bring you a bear related event every weekend, so you don't miss out on any fairs you didn't know about, or any events that are slightly different but may still interest you as a reader of Teddy Bear Times.
This weekend let me introduce you to Congleton! Yes, the small town in Chesire, just south of Manchester. If you've never been to Congleton, or even Manchester, I'd recommend a trip there before September. Currently on display around the town is a trail of 50 giant bears, all painted and named by the children of Congleton, and dotted around the local area for everyone to enjoy.
The town has a history of bears, and the eighteen long event is designed to remember the heritage of the town. Visit www.mybeartown.co.uk to find out more about the Bear Mania:

Have a lovely weekend!
