🧸💕 What a Beary wonderful day! 💕🧸
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our Community Teddy Bears’ Picnic! It was so lovely to see residents, relatives, friends and visitors all coming together to share such a special afternoon.
There was something for everyone… from our Teddy Bear Hunt, colouring competition, Best Dressed Teddy competition, delicious picnic treats and our adorable Teddy cake, to the ever-popular pony rides. 🐴🍰
The real stars of the show were undoubtedly our giant Teddy Bear and the beautiful pony Lady! 🧸🐴
A very special thank you to Jo, Sienna and Lauren, and of course Lady, for giving so many children the opportunity to enjoy a pony ride. Your kindness, patience and generosity helped make the day even more magical.
Our giant Teddy spent the afternoon handing out cuddles, posing for photos and making lots of new friends. He was adored by almost everyone… although little Fliss made it very clear she’d rather admire him from a safe distance! 😂 (We promise Teddy is much cuddlier than he looks!)
The biggest joy of the day wasn’t the games or the cake, it was seeing so many smiles, hearing laughter fill the garden, watching generations come together, and creating memories that will last long after the picnic blankets have been packed away.
We already can’t wait to do it all again! 🧸🌳☀️
