Memories

I have loved Rupert for as long as I can remember, my first Rupert was thrown on the fire by my mum, I never forgave her for that, the replacement was an ordinary teddy that soon lost it's ears plus. As I grew older Rupert didn't feature in my life until about ten years ago when I went to a do in Valentines Park in Ilford, Essex and bought a garden Rupert and from that time I have become a member of the followers of Rupert and own many Rupert items including Annuals, Cuddly Ruperts, plates, cups, mugs, keyrings, bookends I have even got a beaker showing the new Rupert, all my things I get off ebay and last year I treated myself to a talking Rupert, the new one, from Boots, I am 63 now and as one of my fridge magnets states growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
