Teddy Adventures 2006

You may have noticed that over the past 4 or 5 months there has been an unusual silence on the Teddies Great Escape. The pictures have stopped coming in and the last report we had was a postcard from one of the Teddies in September. The message on the back of a postcard read

"We need help, we are being picked up one by one and returned to the CHSW. They know where we are because of the photos."

This is a the picture of the brave teddy who sent us the postcard just before they put the cuffs on him.

We have been hearing rumours for some time now, but they were only rumours, so we decided to send in one of our own teddies, to work deep under cover at the CHSW. Once inside he had the run of the Hospice but it took him sometime to find out what was happening. This is his report:

I knew once I had accepted the mission and the tape self destructed I was on my own. This job I did for free, as me and the Teddies were old friends and we have had some good nights together and woken up with the same headache. For weeks I kept my ear to the ground and my back to the wall and I was just another teddy. Then one day, out of the blue, I caught the end of a conversation and it mentioned about the bin cupboard and what were they going to do with all the old returned teddies that had been scribbled on. None of the other toys or teddies wanted to talk about the bin cupboard. That was until I took a bottle of whiskey to one of the older fluffy toys and he told me that it was the place where they put all the damaged toys until they decide what to do with them. I was taken to the cupboard by the drunken fluffy panda who nearly set the alarm off by hitting his head on it. I saw the teddies looking very sorry for themselves and then I saw the photos and the scribbles. They were not scribbles but signatures and the photos where pictures of themselves with some very famous people. I called a meeting of the CHSW escape committee and it was decided that we would once again try a set these teddies free. Only this time we would get the children to help.

There are pictures of many teddies that have been signed by famous people in the Photo gallery...
