Today Pooh is 90 years old!

Happy 90th Birthday Pooh!

Today it is 90 wonderful years since A.A.Milne's Winnie the Pooh book was first published. Our silly old British bear was bought to life by the extraordinarily talented E.H.Shepard. The stories have bought fun and happiness to many generations all over the world. I could not imagine my life without Pooh and friends in it!

 

"Pooh when I'm you know - when I'm not doing nothing, will you come up here sometimes ?"

"Just me?"

"Yes Pooh"

"Will you be here too?"

"Yes Pooh, I will be really. I promise I will be Pooh."

"That's good" said Pooh

"Pooh promise you won't forget about me ever. Not even when I'm a hundred"

"How old shall I be then?"

"Ninety nine"

"I promise"he said

Still with his eyes on the world Christopher Robin put out a hand and felt for Pooh's paw.

"Pooh" he said earnestly "if....if I'm not quite..." he stopped and tried again."Pooh whatever happens, you will understand won't you?"

"Understand what?"

"Oh nothing" he laughed and jumped to his feet "Come on !"

"Where?" said Pooh

"Anywhere" said Christopher Robin

So they went off together. But wherever they go and whatever happens to them on the way, in that Enchanted Place on the top of the Forest a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.

"Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?"

"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.

Piglet was comforted by this

It's not long now until our silly old British bear is 90 years old on the 14th October! Cath Kidston recently released a new pooh print (unfortunately it was Disney Pooh and not the original Pooh as drawn by E.H.Shepard - still lovely though !) They now have free Pooh Printables on their blog to celebrate their new release which sold out in record time!.

I am missing my crafting a lot, I am having my wound checked tomorrow and hopefully after a course of therapy I will be able to use my right hand again. It has been a challenge steering my wheelchair left handed, everyone dives for cover whenever I start to move!

Even though I can't craft just yet... I will post lots of Classic Pooh things this month.

Hope everyone is having a good start to Autumn!

Here is a very good quote from Eeyore
