It’s been a busy few days with plenty of the #bowelbears out and about on adventures. Richard and Andrea Morgan took #bowelbear Suzie to the Pettigrew Tea Rooms in Cardiff, with Suzie decorated in her poppies.

Here is #bowelbear Betty at Birmingham Town Hall attending the Holy Holy gig tonight. Taking the bears to gigs is a great way for getting decent photos with them. It will also be fascinating to see just how many gigs the bears can get to… Thanks so much to Lizzie Hulme for her support, and
Last week I was honoured to be invited to attend the 2019 Bowel Cancer UK parliamentary reception at Westminster. It was a chance to meet some of the people that I have become friends with on social media, as well as to renew acquaintances with a few familiar faces I’ve already met including Deborah James,
I had the pleasure of meeting Annette and Ulrik Thivissen in Llandudno at the weekend at the annual Gathering to see The Alarm. They travelled over from Germany, and picked up a #bowelbear who they have named Dylan. I have received a letter from Dylan describing his journey back to his new home in Germany.
