Happy New Year from Oxfordshire to all Polar Bear Fans from Ralph!
Not far from Oxford there is a village where some very good friends of mine live. As you can see I am wearing a Christmas present from Uncle Sergei, showing US himself of course. The sign needs re-painting, but the bear claw is clear enough.
My recent trip to Berlin gave me some ideas for a new sign for the pub. Purzelbaum’s photos of the bears.
Volodya is definitely a candidate for a pub sign, as he is always interested in food!
This photo by Purzelbaum of Volodya watching us all, and hoping that we would understand that he was hungry would make a good sign.
Pubs are also places to relax and escape the cares of the world. What better sign for a pub called “The Bear” than this wonderful lady. Katjuscha photographed by Purzelbaum.
Of course, the Knuipe is owned by Europe’s wealthiest Polar Bear:
No, not the old fella with the hat …..
…… but the fine looking bear – Uncle Sergei of course….
Hope you enjoyed my little New Year’s game. I am sure you all have your favourite bears to suggest as a pub sign. Only one bear of course cannot feature. Knut was far too young to go in a pub on his own. But perhaps “The Bear and Zookeeper”.
Happy New Year wishes from Malmö!
