Fred Bear

or should that be Thread-bare?

This is mrs dj's oldest Teddy. He is nearly 50 years old.

I quite like Fred.

He's been through some stuff - mrs dj's childhood, dragged around and thrown about by our 2 girls, and... through a washing machine and a mangle, which may explain his flattened face and surprised expression!

Today he enjoys a more sedate life in the corner of our bedroom.
