Teddy Bear's Picnic Ann
Stephen's
My day started with another repair the bike session at a near to my B & B bike shop.
Just a quick look over really and a purchase of new brake pads. Gert's bike was going well.
I continued with the Roman theme started by my Gladiator exploits a few days earlier, by visiting the magnificent mosaics of Fishbourne Palace, west of Chichester.
In fact I spent a few hours there enjoying not only the amazing mosaics, viewable from above by extensive walkway platforms but also enjoying taking photographs of Barnaby Bear posing with the mosaics.
You will recall Barnaby Bear was given to me by wonderful The Geography Association.
The Geographical Association (GA) is the subject association for teachers of geography. Our members and volunteers are at the heart of our Association – a diverse, inclusive community of individuals who work together to create positive change for the world of geography
A couple of friendly school parties came in and the children started asking about why I had such a famous bear with me. They had been learning about the world by enjoying a project on Barnaby Bear, as many Primary schools do across the United Kingdom. There are even TV programmes about Barnaby Bear's adventures . . .

Where in the world is Barnaby Bear? Well, he was with me and yes, we, Barnaby Bear and I, had a picnic together in the Roman Palace grounds!

A fabulous and fascinating day culminated with a fish and chip shop insisting that I enjoyed a fish and chip supper for free.
The money I would have paid for the meal became a donation to Asthma UK.
