A man can never have too many teddies Trystan.  ;)

I know this story is old news now and a couple of years or so have passed by but I was telling a friend about Bristol Bear yesterday and whilst googling I found where he now lives.  :)

Thought some of you may be interested.......and some may even be able to visit  :D

You could become a 'real' owner, it appears that Teddy Bears of Witney (following the link from Hampshire Lass) is selling replicas for £195 each. ::)

Quote
In this sensitively made limited edition, we hope that others will enjoy his special magic, which certain much-loved vintage bears create. Made of aged, old gold mohair, he has one button eye, red felt showing through his ‘worn’ nose, a hole in his tummy (reinforced underneath) and coarse, printed linen foot pads. In addition, Bristol has a partly detached left ear and ‘repaired’ linen hand pads. He comes with a Lost Property label and a copy of the 1918 photograph showing the original bear.
