A beam of joy has shone down into Stone Place. This is the home of the Bears of Stone Place.
These are no ordinary Bears. Every day for the past 6 weeks they have played, created, performed, celebrated and entertained. They have reminded us to keep active, to create, learn new skills, be quiet, help each other and have a bit of fun. Above all they have brought something you cannot buy, smiles!
My 95 year old uncle looks forward to the bears email every morning, often making silly suggestions about their activities. It gives him something else to think about while he is stuck at home. My grandchildren phone up and ask “What are the teddies doing today Nan?” Friends send back humorous images of their teddies up to no good and the neighbourhood children and families walk past looking out to see what they are up to.
When ‘ordinary’ returns and bear hunts are forgotten, I will miss this daily ritual of putting out the bears as it has helped me feel connected to family, friends and neighbours in this period of aloneness.
You can follow their daily pursuits on their blog
