Bears Galore in Brighton, Sussex.

Well I must say that we stumbled over a shop full of the most precious real teddy bears I have ever seen.  They were cute, adorable and well wow, I think Oxford would have liked to meet them however he didn't have a coast so stayed at home.

The business is called Bears Galore, if it above BORSA on Ship Street, Brighton.  Borsa sells leather shoes, wallets, handbags, purses etc and mixed in with them are teddy bears of all shapes and sizes.

 

The shop in the background next to Browns Café.

 

Bears Galore  and Borsa is run by husband and wife team, Sean & Linda.  A most delightful couple who were only to pleased to let us take photos of the bears and Linda even offered to let us do a display though we left that for another day.

 

The next few photos are of the bears and other animals that they sold.  If you are interested in obtaining one of these gorgeous toys then please click one of the links at the bottom of the photos.

 

 

The proper sized bears that were on the shelves and also been set out for sale by Sean.

That is all the photos we took, I am sure there is much more on their website, or you can email them too to get more details.  Thank you Sean and Linda for letting us take the above photos we had a great time.

Oxford and Shawna's day in Lewes

Ok, ok I know you all want to know what happened coz Zillah has been winding some of you up about them been arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour when actually they were drunk of love so got off the charge nicely.......phew.  So here below are the two lovebirds from when we set out at 10am on Thursday.  A rather cold day to say the least, never mind the stares and smiles we got with the lovebirds been hauled around by us.

 

The cosy twosome ready for the drive to Lewes

 

Sitting at the bottom of the memorial (full view next photo down) where they got arrested by mistake

 

The monument and the road down school hill

 

Sitting on the courthouse steps thanking their lucky stars for their narrow escape of a hefty fine

 

The monuments inset above the courthouse

 

This is castle gate, and we rather liked the black house

 

Getting comfy under the arches at the castle, they are at it again

 

Reading all about the battle of Lewes

 

Looks like Oxford is more interested in my feet than Shawna and having his photo taken

 

Down a side alley in front of the Lamb of Lewes

 

 

After this we returned to the car so that Oxford and Shawna could have a snooze whilst we went for coffee and cake, well actually Zillah didn't think they had behaved well enough for a coffee break never mind the cake.  Both of which were yummy.

 

We next went to Telscombe to finish off getting photos of the church and it was here that Oxford and Shawna had coffee........ you never guess what happened next!!

 

 

There coffee time

 

Snuggling up 

 

Oxford gives his lovely Shawna a rose

 

With cake to eat too he finally proposed, just need the ring now

 

Then zonked out in the car again with Shawna keeping a close eye on his full tummy.....damn sure it was all the cake he ate, greedy bear.

If they sleep well tonight it is just possible that they may go to Brighton tomorrow, though we will have to wait and see, Oxford is sitting comfy and for some reason Shawna is slouched on the floor of the lounge.........sigh

Sadly two days later Shawna and Oxford had to say goodbye to each other, a slight argument between them,  Shawna was very upset that Oxford couldn't stay.

I am sure that  Oxford must have a girlfriend in every place I visited.  Would Shawna soon be forgotten or not.

The horses and Stud Farm Bed & Breakfast

Well this blog will be short and sweet, it  is about some race horses that are kept and trained at Stud Farm, Telscombe, Sussex.  Lots of beautiful horses a few colts and one very territorial cockerel.

 & Stables as well as hold the keys for the local church.  They do a wonderful bed & breakfast, the rooms are just beautiful.  If you would like more information then please click on these links.

The farm also has some sheep, nearly all are now heavy with lambs, only one had been born so far.  As for the cockerel and his wives.......what a laugh, first he chased the farrier down the side of his van and when Zillah and I  saw and laughed hard.  Then it was our turn to pass the van, unbeknown to us the Cockerel was in wait, we stopped half way Zillah asking if he was still attacking when he struck her with his feet making her scream me laugh and run backwards going down the opposite side of the van..........so ruddy funny at the time I do wish we had got it on video.  Anyway below are the pictures taken at the farm of horses and of course the cockerel.

Looks like the filly wants a piece of Zillah's scarf

 

Hot and sweaty after winning the race across the fields

 

Zillah and the filly named Dancing Feather who is apparently 3 yrs old, look out for her in the not to distant future at the races.

The brown one is the colt

 

A ramshackle shed out the back of the farm behind us were a couple of horses and a colt.
