Aloysius Bear

A couple of weeks ago, my humans, several of their friends and I all dressed up for an epic adventure at Phantom Peak, an immersive puzzle-related adventure event in London. My primary human looked particularly wonderful: And the rest of our gang had also made an excellent effort with their costumes: There were plenty of…

Last weekend, the humans went back to the lovely house in Somerset where reading retreats are held, and had a glorious time, reading and being looked after by Cressi and Sara. My good friend, Snoozy Boi, went with them! He slept most of the way… And these are the books my primary human read across…

My primary human and I accompanied a group of amazing writers to Cromer for a retreat this past weekend. One of the newer members of our family, Snoozy Boy, came too, though he spent most of the weekend asleep… You will note exercise equipment in the background – my human got up for 8:15am yoga…

My primary human and I spent a glorious weekend near Hereford for a reading retreat – our first in over a year! We decided to start as we meant to go on – first book begun on the train: The house was an impressive pile – perhaps haunted, but only by friendly ghosts, we decided:…

We did get off the ship a couple of times during our week-long cruise! The first stop was at Messina in Sicily: We wandered around and met a giant bear just hanging out in the street! We also saw an impressive church with lots of intricately carved wooden beams in the ceiling: And here is…

Once we boarded the ship, we found out fairly spacious cabin, which had a large porthole almost directly out onto the sea (we were on Deck 2): There were lots of great places to hang out on the ship – my primary human and I particularly like the Viking Lounge right at the top, which…

I am posting this today from a cruise ship on the Italian coast, just south of Pisa! The humans and I started our grand adventure with a two-day train journey from London to Venice, via Paris and (unexpectedly) Zurich. Our Venice hotel had a lovely courtyard – but many, many, many stairs… It was near…

This past weekend, the humans and I took a trip to Stourhead in Wiltshire for a family wedding. We got to stay in this lovely National Trust cottage: The wedding was held at the Temple of Apollo, in the absolutely gorgeous park: Two of the other guests had brought some furry friends with them –…

My primary human and I set off for Somerset last week to attend a four-day writing retreat with 17 other writers. Most of the group were housed in cute cabins like this: They were very cosy inside: Each also had a double bed in a cubby hole that had a ladder for access and a…

My humans and I are meeting up with our friends Kate and Jeremy this evening for food, chat and probably a game or two. However, before that, my secondary human and Kate are going to spend the afternoon watching some dragon boat racing in Docklands. I’m really looking forward to it! Um, it’s possible we…
