Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all still well and are staying safe and healthy at home. I am missing all my little buddies a lot and hope you are all well, keeping busy and spending time outside if you are able. We are lucky the sun is shining, and we don’t have to be stuck inside all the time aren’t we. Somebody else who is missing you all loads is our friend Bobby Bear!

Bobby is very lonely without all his friends and really misses going on all his adventures with you, so I had an idea! What if you write Bobby a letter? You can tell him about all the adventures you are having at home, draw some pictures and if you are able to maybe even take some pictures. We can share them all with Bobby when we get back!

I miss you all and I can’t wait to see you all soon,
