The Taking Tree by SPJ
January 24th, 2009 5:21 PM / Location: 50.702886,-1.287846My Girlfriend loves Winnie-the-Pooh. And I must confess that I too am partial to a bit of Pooh.
So I decided to recreate Pooh Corner in the small grove just outside the block of flats where we live.
I managed to obtain ten objects by visiting the local charity shops in town during the afternoon. (I figured she wouldn't appreciate me appropriating ten of her items.)
A midnight trip outside saw me hide seven of the objects before the natives became restless (there is one house that overlooks the trees, and I guess the inhabitants wondered why somebody was clambering around flashing a torch as I heard a shout of "Oi, mate, watcha doin?" and saw a couple of people).
So I retreated, went around the block, and then returned to deposit the last three. Unfortunately I had hidden Tigger a little too well, but hadn't yet taken the picture, and I almost couldn't find him. But I did.

Yay, winnie the pooh.
What happened to all the teddy bears and the rubber duck? Were they left to the mercy of the chavs and the elements or did you send your girlfriend out to find them and give them hugs?
Yay for you.
They have been left to run wild. It was a very Blustery Night in the 100 Acre Wood though.
