Rupert Bear

>> Wednesday, April 29, 2009 – 

From Wikipedia

Rupert is a bear who lives with his parents in a house in Nutwood. He usually sets out on a small errand for his mother or to visit a friend and ends up in fantastic adventures. Rupert is drawn wearing a red jumper and bright yellow checked trousers, with matching yellow scarf.

Rupert has many friends, both animal and human. His animal friends are referred to as his "chums" or "pals". Bill Badger, Pong-Ping the Pekingese, Algy Pug (who actually predates Rupert[2]), Edward Trunk the elephant, Podgy Pig, and Ming the dragon are some of the most enduring. One of the most unusual and evocative characters is Raggety, a woodland troll-creature made from twigs, who is often very grumpy and annoying. In the recent TV series, Raggety has been transformed into a friendly elf with broken English.

The kindly Wise Old Goat also lives in Nutwood, and helps Rupert in some of his adventures.



I used to have Rupert on video. I was singing the Frog Song to Mikey today for no real reason and decided to try and find it on YouTube. It's so much nicer than I remembered, it makes me happy.

I am a 24 year old British stay at home mother to a two year old boy. Married to a U.S. soldier and currently living in Germany.

I have seen the Vatican from the very top of St Peter's Basilica, the mud in the World War I trenches outside Ypres. I have walked through Montmartre side streets bustling with people in the evening, gotten lost in the streets of Greenwich Village NYC, run through cornfields on the Welsh border and sat outside with a cup of tea watching fireflies in the fields of the outer Chicago suburbs.

I have held the hands of others through addiction, fear, suicide, despair and come out the other side. I have left everything behind to begin anew.
I have fought mental illness and walked through snow in the mountains of the lake district, England. I have explored the morgue in the bowels of an abandoned hospital on a summer evening, climbed to the top of scaffolding on the outside of a five floor warehouse to look at the city lights of Nottingham at night and I have watched the sun setting on the Texas horizon.

I have held my son's tiny hand through the plastic window on an isolette in the NICU ward. Walked, speaking only in whispers, through the catacombs beneath the ground on the outskirts of Rome and seen the fireworks over Heidelberg castle.
