As we moved away from the uninhabited volcanic Peter I island in the Bellinghausen Sea, Antarctica, storm clouds would soon turn the sky black.

Peter has a nightmare...or not???

 

PETER:

Heeeeeeeeeelp! Oleg....Oleg....Scout...Paddy....Daddy....Fairy Mum

Mummy Marian is stuck in a bottle!!!!

She's shaped like the bottle... it looks awful!

 

OLEG:

What's going on Peter?

You look so scared!

 

PETER:

Mummy Marian...bbbbbottle...stuck!

 

OLEG:

Ssssst..... Mummy Marian is sleeping.

If you scream like that, she'll wake up.

You had a nightmare Peter.

 

PETER:

So...so...it was a bad dream?

 

OLEG:

Yes...she is in a deep sleep because I can hear her snoring.

 

PETER:

Thank goodness.

So I can go back to sleep?

 

OLEG:

Yes...I'll stay with you.

 

PETER:

Thank you so much Oleg (Gives Oleg a bear kiss)

 

OLEG:

We're almost done Peter! The guests can come. Can you assemble the beach chair?

When you're done with the chair, will you stir the honey soup with the spoon?

 

PETER:

Yes... I do.

 

OLEG: I have everything now. Chives, herbs, fruit, tomatoes, drinks, the clogs and a good mood......

 

PETER:

Uh...Oleg...eh...that chair is a little weird. How do I get out of here. I'm totally stuck.

 

OLEG:

I'm here to help you.

PETER: (on the mill)

I feel like someone is watching me.

(looks around very quickly)

It looks like Little Red Riding Hood.

I don't know if this is real or not.

Oleg!!! Can you see if there's anyone else at the mill besides me?

I thought I saw Little Red Riding Hood.

  

OLEG:

Don't be silly. All I see is a panicked Peter.

Moreover, Little Red Riding Hood does not live in a mill but in the forest.

You read too many fairytales.

Come help me clean the mill, so we can move in there. When we're done, we'll give a party for all our friends.

Oleg has gone looking for old things he can be use to make a pull wagon for Bernus so that he can go with Peter and Oleg to mummy Marian.

An old sled, wheels, rusty chain and carpentry from Oleg! The pull wagon is ready

  

BERNUS: I'm a little scared Oleg. Do not speed!

 

OLEG: I'll drive carefully, I promise.

 

PETER: OLeg is very good at cycling Bernus. Have faith in it.

Scout and Paddy....we are coming!!!!

 

And off they go!!!!

Peter wanted this particular rhododendron because it makes a particular chemical compound that he has been interested in during his scientific career. I don't remember what the compound is, and I don't particularly want to ask him, because I have no patience today for one of his chemistry lectures... They are always way over my head!!

Peter has a bear friend (Bruno) who lives in Zittau (Germany). They can see each other with the binoculars

  

PETER:

Hallo Bruno. Ik kan je zien (zwaait). Naast mij zit Oleg, die wil ook graag je vriend worden.

 

OLEG:

Hallo Bruno, wat leuk je te ontmoeten. Ik kan je goed zien (zwaait met beide handen.)

 

Berenknuffels van ons uit Nederland

  

PETER:

 

Hello Bruno. I can see you (waves). Next to me is Oleg, who would also like to become your friend.

 

OLEG:

 

Hello Bruno, how nice to meet you. I can see you well (waves both hands.)

  

Bear hugs and kisses from Peter & Oleg from the Netherlands

OLEG:

Peter....Peter...Where are you???

Say something!

 

Oleg searches in and around the house and still can't find Peter.

He then walks through the garden... and sees a garden gnome standing between the plants.

 

OLEG:

OMG....this can't be true!

Peter! What are you doing?

(Oleg waits for an answer, but nothing happens)

Say something!!!!

 

PETER (finally answers)

Can't you see Oleg...I'm a garden gnome.

You really should wear glasses.

As you know, a garden gnome stays in place and doesn't move or talk. He is guarding the garden 24 hours a day.

 

OLEG:

Come on Peter....stop that nonsense. It's going to rain soon and you'll get all wet.

 

PETER:

Will you bring me an umbrella, Oleg?

 

OLEG:

No....I'm not going to do that.

I'm going to drink tea and eat chocolate cookies with the other bears and Mummy Marian.

Goodbye Peter.

 

PETER:

No...no...no...wait Oleg! I'm coming with you

I also want chocolate cookies.

Can I keep the gnome hat on

 

OLEG:

Ok.. but that beard has to come off, otherwise you can't eat cookies

  

Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday everyone!

PETER:

Scout.....Scout! Where are you? I have not seen you in a long time. Are you going to play with me? Mummy M gave me fake eyelashes. I have one for you too! And we can still pick something in the beauty case. We can't use the lipstick said Mummy M.

Ik hou zo veel van je en ik mis je.

Berenkusjes van Peter

Peter’s Stone is a circular limestone dome in the Wardlow Mires, northern end of Cressbrook Dale. It is also referred to as Gibbet Rock and shown on the OS map as Peter’s Stone. This is where the last gibbet in the county stood and local legend has it this was the last gibbeting. A gibbet was a gallows used to display the bodies of criminals after their execution and this is where they were left until long after execution with their bones rattling against the iron cage serving as a deterrent to other would be criminals.

The green monkey can be found in a wide range of wooded habitats, ranging from very dry Sahel woodland to the edge of rainforests. It is also commonly seen in coastal regions, where known to feed on seashore foods such as crabs. It also takes a wide variety of other foods, including fruits and invertebrates.

 

The green monkey is found in West Africa from Senegal and The Gambia to the Volta River. It has been introduced to the Cape Verde islands off north-western Africa (islands of Santiago and Brava only) as early as the second half of the 16th century, and the West Indian islands of Saint Kitts, Nevis, Saint Martin, and Barbados, having been introduced in the late 17th century by slave ships coming from West Africa. A small colony descended from 20th century zoo escapees exists in Broward County, Florida.

 

As other members of the genus Chlorocebus, the green monkey is highly social and usually seen in groups. They usually live in groups of 7 up to 80 individuals. Within these groups, there is distinct social hierarchy evidenced by grooming behaviors and gender relationships. (Wikipedia)

--------------

There is a large colony of these attractive monkeys living around the Barbados Wildlife Refuge. Although wild, they are fed by the Refuge once a day. I think that this is the dominant male, as he kept an eye on the proceedings while sitting on a high spot in the area.

Peter, Oleg, Bernus and Hakus make their way to Mommy Marian. However Peter is missing.

After an hour of searching, they find him in the garden of the university.

 

OLEG:

Peter .... what are you doing. We've been looking all over for you. We are going home.

 

PETER:

I saw this hammock and lay down in it for a while. It was so good that I fell asleep. Sorry Oleg. I'm coming.

 

OLEG:

Hurry up, because I want to be home for Christmas.

We have no more money for transportation, so we walk home.

 

PETER:

That's 8 miles!

 

OLEG:

Keep going Peter, we'll be there sooner than you think!

 

And so they go home ........

PETER:

Hello Scout (waves paw)

We are standing in front of the Anholt castle.

 

OLEG:

Hello Paddy

(waves paw)

It's very beautiful here.

 

PETER:

I am so happy with our new friends. They always agree with me. They don't talk back.

 

OLEG:

Peter ....... They are garden statues and they cannot talk.

OLEG:

Peter!!!

What are you doing with the Christmas presents?

 

PETER:

I'm poking a hole in one of the presents to see if it might be for me. There's no name on it.

 

OLEG:

You can't do that, Peter! You're not allowed to touch the presents until Christmas Day.

 

PETER:

Don't be so angry, Oleg. I'm helping Father Christmas. He forgot to put the name on the present.

 

OLEG:

You're just curious to see what's inside.

Where did you get that needle, anyway? You know you have to be careful with needles and scissors and only use them when I'm there.

 

PETER:

Oh... well... then I haven't done anything wrong, because you're always around. Besides, I found the needle. It was in Mummy Marian's embroidery.

 

OLEG:

Lucky I saw it in time. I'll quickly put the needle back in the embroidery.

   

The listed, late Gothic daughter church of St. Peter with the Calvary Chapel is located in the St. Peter district of the municipality of Waldburg in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria. The Roman Catholic church stands on a hill about three kilometres west of Freistadt, at an altitude of about 700 metres above sea level, and is clearly visible from afar. Next to the church is the Calvary Chapel and the local cemetery. The church and chapel belong to the parish of Freistadt.

ME:

Peter...why do you look so sad?

 

PETER:

Well...I'm not feeling very well.

 

ME:

Do you have a stomachache or a headache or something else?

 

PETER:

No, but...but...I feel so lonely.

Everyone is at Paddy's birthday party and I'm not.

And...and I have a present for Paddy. I want to give Paddy my prettiest marble and I would like a piece of that cake and I would like to see my very best friend Scout and my dearest princess Rosie and Nanuk and...

 

ME:

Wait a minute, Peter.

Are you a little jealous of Oleg because he's at his best friend's birthday party and you're not?

 

PETER:

Jealous? No, not at all. I wish Oleg and Paddy a happy birthday and hope they get to eat lots of cake until they feel sick.

 

ME:

Until they feel sick? That's not very nice to say, Peter.

By the way, you went to your best friend Scout's birthday party and Oleg wasn't there. He was happy that you and Scout were having such a good time.

Let Oleg enjoy this time with his great friend.

Come on...let's do something fun together.

How about we play marbles together?

There are lots of them in the attic.

 

PETER:

Oh...yes, Mummy Marian...that sounds like fun.

 

Peter asked Oleg to kiss an egg that was sleeping, thinking it was Sleeping Beauty. But ... it wasn't Sleeping Beauty, but a painted egg. And worst of all, the egg had been recently painted and was still wet....

 

Even worse....the paint was stuck to his fur.

 

Oleg feels very unhappy and does not want to celebrate Easter.

 

When his allerbeste vriend Paddy heard of it, he immediately sprang into action.

 

Using the magical vanishing cream (from Daddy Jesse), Paddy goes to his allerbeste vriend Oleg. The cream makes the paint on Oleg's face disappear like snow in the sun.....

 

The cream did its job

All the paint is off Oleg's face thanks to the help of Paddy and Daddy Jesse

  

PADDY:

So...the cream is off your face my dear friend

Take a look in the mirror

 

OLEG:

Oh...my face looks great again!!!!

(Oleg feels his fur)

Even prettier and softer than before!

And I don't see my wrinkles anymore either

Thank you my very best friend (gives a bear kiss on each of Paddy's cheeks)

 

PADDY:

The bear kiss does indeed feel softer than before.

I enjoyed doing it for you Oleg!

Now we can celebrate Easter together!

 

OLEG:

I am so happy Paddy

I'm looking forward to Easter

 

Thank you so much www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/ for using the picture of Paddy in my photomontage

   

Le père Noël du vin chaud

Sur un marché d'Alsace

Ganz in der Nähe von Astoria rottet das Wrack der Peter Iredale am Strand vor sich hin. Der stählerne Viermaster lief 1906 während eines Sturmes auf Grund - zum Glück überlebten alle Besatzungsmitglieder das Unglück. Über 100 Jahre später ragen heute noch Teile des Bugs aus dem Sand, der Zahn der Zeit hat nicht viel übrig gelassen.

 

Only a few miles from Astoria the remains of Peter Iredale's rusted bow and masts are still visible jutting out of the sand - over a century since it ran aground. It once was a four-masted steel barque that ran ashore on the Oregon coast in 1906 during a heavy storm. Thankfully every crewmember survived the shipwreck. I had to think of them as I stood up to my hips in the freezing water of the Pacific Ocean, trying to get some decent shots of this beautiful wreck.

The ‘Church of the Blessed Peter at Duffus’ is first mentioned in a charter from 1190 The church was probably built by Freskin de Moray, who also constructed the mighty Duffus Castle nearby.

 

The church was badly damaged in the early 1300s during the Wars of Independence. It is situated in an situated in an idyllic location among mature trees. A rare medieval ‘mercat’ cross survives among the grave stones.

Sunrise at Peter's Stone, Cressbrook Dale with just a little mist.

 

A lovely morning with the place to myself.

Peter is making a present for his very best friend Scout, whose birthday is soon. Martin the contractor has made a construction drawing of the object . Peter can now work on it.

 

PETER:

I think I'll start with this....or not yet anyway...I'll start with that thing (grabs a part).

 

On a landscape photography course. However I couldn’t resist taking this little one who was darting about in the evening sun.
