🐻🐻🍯 Bear-y Big Celebrations! 🍯🐻

Big Ted was almost un-bear-ably excited today when he met a very special guest... Winnie-the-Pooh!

As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh, Big Ted couldn't bear to let the occasion pass without a visit from one of literature's most famous bears.

The two spent the afternoon having a paw-sitively wonderful time chatting about honey, adventures and books.

Pooh was delighted to discover that libraries are full of stories, and Big Ted was happy to share the bear facts about all the wonderful books waiting to be borrowed.

When asked what makes Pooh so special after 100 years, Big Ted replied:

🐻 "His stories have stood the test of time because they're full of friendship, kindness and a touch of bearilliance."

🐻📚🍯 Happy 100th Anniversary, Winnie-the-Pooh!

📚🐻🔎 Big Ted's Bear-y Special Investigation! 🔎🐻📚

Big Ted was spotted at Lechlade Community Library and Tourist Information Centre today, nose-deep in a collection of mysteries from the brilliant Ann Cleeves, who celebrates her birthday today! 🎉

After a thorough bear-vestigation, Big Ted has uncovered several clues:

🐾 Ann Cleeves writes un-bear-lievably good crime novels
🐾 Her books are impossible to paws down
🐾 They keep readers guessing right to the furry end
🐾 Vera, Shetland and Two Rivers are all paw-sitively gripping

Big Ted is currently working his way through the evidence and has declared Ann Cleeves' books "guilt-free reading of the highest or-der!" 🕵️‍♂️📖

If you're looking for a mystery that's sure to get your claws into, come and browse our Ann Cleeves collection.
