A Holiday in Somerset - Part 5: A New Bear Bag!

We have been busy having more adventures, so I have got rather behind with my blog, and have one last episode of our Somerset journey to tell you about, when we went to a town on the edge of Exmoor called Wiveliscombe.

During our visit, Grizzly bought a new Bear Bag for us, from a pub!

 

The pub was called The Bear Inn and Uncle Derek took us all there for lunch.  We think that was partly because he knew we would like the name.

We were very worried when we saw the menu included "Bear Burgers", but fortunately they just meant the burgers were made at The Bear and were not burgers made from bears!

Hanley Bear noticed that there was home-brewed beer available, with nice bubbles for small bears to sip, so he was very pleased when Grizzly ordered a pint and he was allowed to try some.

When the lady behind the bar noticed there were a lot of small bears on our table, she gave us a keyring with a bear on it.  We don't have any keys, as we don't have anything to lock away, but we are sure it will come in handy for something one day. 

Our human guardians had a very nice lunch, as you can see from this picture of Huddlesford looking at Polar's pie!

Then the lady at the bar told us that they sold special bags, for people to carry home bottles of beer.  The bags, and others for different uses, are actually made in the town and are called "Wivey bags".  

We all climbed into one so Polar could take a picture.  It was very comfortable, as we each had our own little compartment where a beer bottle would usually have gone.  Grizzly could see that we liked it, so he bought one for us!  Aren't we lucky bears?

After lunch, Polar carried us in our new bag out to see more of the town with Aunty Ann and Uncle Derek, including a brilliant yarn-bombed post box.  We thought "Wivey" looked like a very nice place to live or go shopping and we hope to visit again one day.

When it was time to go home from Somerset, we gave Aunty Ann and Uncle Derek hugs and thanked them for looking after us during our holiday.  

Then it was time to get in the car.  We found that our new Bear Bag was just perfect for travelling in, as we could sit securely in it and enjoy really good views out of the window. 

When there are likely to be showers, we will still use our old Bear Bag when we go out for adventures but, on sunny days, we can use our Wivey Bear Bag and remember our lovely holiday.
