I didn’t find a Teddy Bear’s Picnic but despite that it ‘was’ rather noisy. There was music blaring out along the Silkin Way, a ride on mower in the hospital grounds, parents and children having having conversations at the top of their voices and the sound of bagpipes.
When I arrived at Apley Pool I was struck by how tranquil it was in comparison to my walk there. I noticed a new (replacement) bench. It is in a perfect location tempting me to ’sit and rest a while’. Some things just have to be done. I continued my walk around the pool before enjoying the view and sounds of the birds from another another bench, a favourite of mine. Then I made my way back home via a different route through the woods accompanied by the haunting sound of bagpipes…
In the post war era, all the children knew Teddy Bears Picnic. Now not so much..
I am not sure if you mean the song or Teddy Bear Picnic events.
If it is the latter they still take place in the UK.
In the 50s snd 60s, all the children knew Teddy Bears Picnic. Now not so much..
If you go down in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today, you’d better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic
Every teddy bear who’s been good is sure of a treat today
There’s lots of marvelous things to eat and wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They’ll hide and seek as long as they please
That’s the way the teddy bears have their picnic
Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday
See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o’clock their mummies and daddies
Will take them back home to bed
‘Cause they’re tired little teddy bears
If you go down in the woods today, you’d better not go alone
It’s lovely down in the woods today, but safer to stay at home
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic
I have a feeling you will enjoy sitting on that bench each time you to to Apley Pool, Cherie
You know me so well
i like your shots, especially with the silhouette of the trees, CP.
Thank you
Oh dear, now that song is going to be stuck in my head!
HaHa
It’s good to see some green there.
Our lawn is bone dry, totally parched and brown.
It has not rained in my area for such a long time, I kinda miss the rain now.
This was a few weeks ago but the nearby water helps to keep the area green.
I think your wish for rain may come true next week.
It’s forecast to rain… but it’s another muggy day today.
So unbearable, so odd coming from me, who comes from a tropical hot country.
