Almost got walled up in China...

It's quite something being a globe trotting bear, representing Lindsey Lodge in the global community.  I got to go to China again the other day.  Some very nice people from Epworth took me when they went to walk the Great Wall as part of their fantastic fundraising campaign.  What I didn't realise was that I had to walk as well!  See those people right at the very back.  Well I'm behind them..!

Here I am with Ally, Chris, Rob and Paul.  Janet took the photograph.  As you can see I'm holding up quite well...

I'm not a bear to complain but the old tum was rumbling.  When the group spent the day helping to repair a section of the wall I suggested I should look after the snack bag.  I think I got rumbled 'cos Ally said if I didn't be quiet she'd brick me in, get the guy in the funny hat to video it as evidence and take it back to Lindsey Lodge to show the others...

Eek.  What's a hungry bear to do?  As they were on their way to raising over £18,000 I thought I'd better let them have the rice crackers after all.

You'll be pleased to know we all got back safely and the generous people of Epworth and around the Isle of Axholme are still sending in donations to the team.  What a fantastic adventure.  Thanks.
