I remember Zedward, drove him from Kent to the borders of Devon/Cornwall for his next journey. All for a good cause :thumbsup:

He now resides in a junior school library in Bristol where the kids sit and read to him whilst keeping them company.

Not a bad life for a bear I originally rescued from a recycling centre in a Tesco car park. He was sat slumped against a skip with a bin liner over his head
