Teddy Bear Picnic Photos

It might have rained a little at Venford yesterday but it didn't stop all the little Teddies and their both junior & senior 'minders' enjoying a lovely day out. And the light breeze enabled the bubbles to show us the way to the picnic basket full of goodies.


Teddies made teddy masks, had a treasure hunt, blew bubbles made a giant teddy called 'Darty' and had a sing song.


Thanks to Rangers Bill & Ella and all the adults who came along and made it all possible.


It is hoped to make this an annual event.
