I’ve got 99 problems but yew ain’t one 🐾 A delight I’ve got 99 problems but yew ain’t one
🐾
A delightful day in Painswick, wandering through the churchyard of St Mary’s and its famous 99 topiary yew trees. Planted in the 18th century, they stand in neat, sculpted rows, giving the whole place a quiet, storybook sort of charm
🐾
There’s a legend that any 100th tree planted here is destroyed by the devil, which seems a very good reason to stop at 99 I think. I did count them twice though, just to be sure

A good walk always clears the head 🐾 Today I tackl A good walk always clears the head

Today I tackled part of the Cotswold Way, a 102-mile National Trail from Chipping Campden to Bath along the escarpment
🐾
Rolling hills, wide open views and beautifully cared-for landscapes, many looked after by the National Trust, made each step feel like a reward. I even stumbled upon a Neolithic burial mound, which felt like quite the discovery for a curious little bear
🐾
Fresh air, tired paws and a very happy bear.

Mine is bluebells, soft carpets of blue that quietly take over the forest floor and make everything feel a little bit magical

Living the grand life at Tortworth Court 🐾 This Tu Living the grand life at Tortworth Court
🐾
This Tudor-style house was built for the 2nd Earl of Ducie, and it has certainly had an interesting life since. From noble beginnings to serving as a naval training base for coding and signals during WWII, and even spending some time as a prison, these walls have seen quite a few different guests
🐾
I did my best to look the part, strolling the halls and imagining life as a very important bear, though I’m pleased to report my stay involved far more afternoon tea than hard labour. A little history, a touch of grandeur and a perfectly civilised way to spend the day

One should never skip an opportunity to visit Padd One should never skip an opportunity to visit Paddington when in London. It simply wouldn’t be polite
🐾
I stopped by to say hello and made sure everything was in order, hat straight, suitcase ready and of course, a jar of marmalade
🐾
And who could resist a quick stop at the Paddington Store? So many friends to say hello to, I nearly forgot to leave

Here’s how I spent a day in Paris, wandering through Jardin du Luxembourg, past the Panthéon and Notre-Dame, getting a little lost in the Latin Quarter, stopping by the Louvre Pyramid, visiting the Petit Palais and finishing up in Montmartre
🐾
It’s definitely leg day when you explore Paris like this, but every step comes with something beautiful, surprising and usually something delicious is always around the corner, which makes it all quite worth it don't you think?

Bienvenue à Paris 🇫🇷 🐾 Today I finally met the Ei Bienvenue à Paris 🇫🇷 
🐾
Today I finally met the Eiffel Tower, rising high above the city like a giant iron lattice of adventure. I climbed the stairs step by step like a very determined little bear, and when I reached the top the whole of Paris opened up beneath me, rooftops, the Seine winding through the city and monuments in every direction
🐾
It felt like a very special moment standing up there, a small bear in a very big city. After all that climbing I treated myself to the lift back down, which felt like the sensible Parisian way to finish such an adventure

What’s cooking in this 16th century château kitche What’s cooking in this 16th century château kitchen?
🐾
Here in Gers, southern France, the old stone walls and heavy wooden beams have seen centuries of meals prepared for travellers, nobles and perhaps the occasional hungry bear
🐾
I had a good look around, just in case something delicious was still bubbling away somewhere... a bear has to check these things very carefully you know!

Can you really come to France and not visit a chât Can you really come to France and not visit a château?
🐾
Here I am at Château de Cassaigne near Condom in Gers, surrounded by 35 hectares of vines planted on a plateau of limestone outcrops. This is Côtes de Gascogne country, and the home of world-famous Armagnac, so there is history in every barrel and sunshine in every grape.
🐾
I’ll leave the tasting to my assistants, of course, but wandering through the courtyard and vineyards was quite fascinating. Castles and countryside make a very fine combination indeed.
