This is Kibworth. I bought him in the UK while I was traveling around with a friend of mine in the little village of Kibworth - just outside of Leicester. He was in a gift shoppe in the town common... very pretty little village it is.
Well, seeing he traveled halfway across the world with me to come home, Mum now takes him with her when she travels. He's even got his own Teddy Bear Passport which gets stamped when he goes through airports and he's got his photo inside it and everything... very cute... and some customs people think it's either funny or weird - or both!
But Mum forgot to take him with her this time to travel on the Ghan... so I picked him up on the way through to come to Brighton with me. It rained so much, I took some photos of him hanging out around the house on the last day. :D
Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
@wendyfrost@digitalrn Thank you both for your lovely comments. Yeah, he's a cutie. When I found one of him at the store, the bear I almost bought was missing a stitch in his foot... so the lady opened a drawer and there were about 300 Kibworths sitting in there! She told me to go through them all and pick one out! Oh, wow! I put my hand into them and pulled out this little bear... it was weird to see so many bears who looked the same! :D
He is a very forgiving little bear. And Mum missed him a lot... but was happy to know he was enjoying his travels with me. :D
