Forget about your worries and your strife

This little fella arrived in the post today. His name is Hogan and he is the 2013 membership bear from Deans, previously known as Deans Rag Book Co Ltd ( the longest established teddy bear manufacturer in the UK) having started in 1903.

I bought my first Deans bear in 1995 and have collected limited editions on and off ever since.

The cats don't seem overly impressed with the latest furry inhabitant, or at least, the smell of said inhabitant.
