500th BLIP

Can't quite believe I have reached the milestone of 500 blips. Blip is part of my day now and it's great to connect with blippers all around the world and make new blip friends. Thanks to everyone who comments on my photos - I really appreciate it.

Today's blip is my bear named Douglas. I bought him at The Bear Factory in 2001- he even has a birth certificate. You may notice that he is wearing what every well dressed Geordie bear should be wearing - a pair of Alan Shearer slippers.

Thankfully all the snow has gone this morning. Neil was hoping his rugby match would be called off as he didn't get home from the " toon " till 4am. Sadly for him it is still on so he has made his way to Ryton. Bet he is a muddy mess when he gets home tonight.
