The teddy was sort of mine, but *she* had also belonged to my much older cousin and then my much older sister. She's called Mrs Pim and was hand-made during the war by a great-aunt using the astrakhan collar and cuffs from a coat. Because there wasn't enough fur, she has a fabric body and limbs and only a furry face, hands and feet. So she was dressed in a long gown to hide this. Hence the name. She is also very thin. That's what comes of living off war rations. So the fact her eye dropped wasn't surprising as she was over 50 years old. It's back on now, Bella.cellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17061833787120469657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1124898155715896712005-08-24T16:42:00.000+01:002005-08-24T16:42:00.000+01:00Ho ho.Ho ho.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1124887740760545652005-08-24T13:49:00.000+01:002005-08-24T13:49:00.000+01:00I had a soft-toy badger, for whom my parents' ging...I had a soft-toy badger, for whom my parents' ginger tom had an inexplicable sexual predilection, which he liked to indulge noisily and publicly during formal drinks and dinner parties.
