Mulu Raw Chocolate- GUEST REVIEW

Jezzer Checks Chocs

Fuzzy Bear is one of my loveliest and funniest friends- I know him mainly through Can Be Social and it’s a real pleasure; although he can be busy sometimes making lovely Fuzzy Bear cousins that travel far and wide around the globe to live with their new owners. Each one has that distinctive Fuzzy DNA running through their stitching.

So it is an absolute delight to have Fuzzy write a guest review for my blog- and what a review! It doesn’t get more chocolatey than raw chocolate i’m sure you’d agree, so I’m especially intrigued to hear his opinion on this very unusual chocolate bar:

Mulu Organic Raw Chocolate

Cousin Harry

Today was a beautiful Spring morning. The sun shone down on the daffodils who held their heads up high and for me everything seemed right in my world. I took my friend Harry for a walk to the local Churchyard, where we both sat and contemplated life for a while. Harry’s original owner died last year, when he came to live with me and Gino. Always room for one more Teddy Bear !!!

The Elephant’s Curios

Edward's Care Home For Elderly Bears

Somewhere in the world, perhaps above our heads, or under our feet;  perhaps beneath floor boards or secreted under insulation, OR in the dark, damp corners of a cardboard boxes packed away in old sheds; or stuffed roughly into recycling banks, are the bears of my dreams.

Often I find myself wishing I knew where they were all hidden, I wish I could find them all and tell their stories to the world. Where are those secret places – the places where all the old toys are hidden?

The holy grail of bears – where is it? Will Dan Brown write a book about THAT? – I don’t think so.
