A delightful little fellow arrived in the post this week, I just had to share him with you. Such an amazing gift, words fail me.
“Dear Mr & Mrs Lawson,
I trust I find you well.
I have been on a fairly long journey after spending the summer in Bournemouth. I have had a lovely time collecting shells, paddle-boarding and geo-caching…it’s been quite exhausting!
However, the weather has turned considerably. Its far too cold to be wandering around near the seaside.
I have been informed there may be a vacancy for me at your residence. I have always wanted to live in a nursery and hope you will consider me for this position. I really love spending time with children. I have always wanted to live with a little boy as I love talking about boy things such as boats, planes and astronomy. I am not fussed on girls things other than baking biscuits.
I don’t remember much about where I came from. My first memory is finding a nice shell on the beach! Nor do I remember my name. You are welcome to give me one.
I am a bit frightened about being in a washing machine. However, if I ever do need to go in one I would probably be ok if I was in a cloth bag.
Thank you and I look forward to my future with you and your little boy.
Love,
BEAR”
