Reminiscing & Daydreaming
Chaucer and I were in a nostalgic mood this morning, so we enjoyed a trip down memory lane. Getting the rather heavy photo albums up onto the bed was hard work, but well worth it. We sat on the bed for hours, happily flicking through the pages of snaps taken over many years by Richard and Laura on our travels. I think our favourite album was the one which contained the photos of Italy. We loved our time there, although we didn’t like the journey much. It’s very uncomfortable being stuffed into a suitcase, and then thrown into the cargo hold of a plane by scary men, not to mention that it was absolutely freezing cold. It was a small price to pay for such a great trip though, and I’m sure if Richard and Laura knew we were alive just like them they would have been more than happy to book us a couple of seats inside the plane with them. We did have fun though in the cargo hold, we managed to get out of the suitcases and play with some other Teddy Bears, they had also been squashed into suitcases. It’s not easy being Teddy Bears, and it’s especially not easy being Teddy Bears who have real feelings. But we love our life, and we love Richard and Laura. We feel happy and safe with them, and maybe soon we will tell them we are alive!
A man who has not been to Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see. The grand object of travelling is to see the shores of the Mediterranean. Samuel Johnson
