Rupert the Bear

Am I admitting my age by saying that I love
Rupert the Bear?

Do you even know what/who Rupert the bear is?


I still have my Rupert Bear from when I was a little child.
He travelled out from the UK with me when I was only 3.

He is looking his age but he is an original Rupert and I wouldn't change a thing.
In the last little while I have started to collect the occasional Rupert memorabilia
and when in Melbourne at the weekend I walked past a Market Stall at Federation Square
and to my delight they had an Original Rupert Book in
great condition and at a great price so it came home with me
and I am now in the process of sharing his stories with Lily :o)


It is one of the "Rupert Annuals" and I am in love with him all over again.

Do you have something from your childhood that you still have a soft spot for?

Have an amazing day

  5. Oh Sharon that is so cute. I remember Rupert well. Sometimes I feel a little nostalgic for my Basil Brush stuffed toy I had as a child. It was passed on to my cousin 4 years younger but don't know what happened to it since. It must be age, now in my forties I think about the funniest nostalgic things! Tracee xx

  6. Rupert had a bit of a resurgence when my boys were young, but I didn't remember him from my own childhood. I did like the noddy books and other Enid Blyton books.
