Happy Birthday to A.A. Milne!
Today is Winnie the Pooh Day, celebrated each year on the birthday of author A.A. Milne. Did you know that Winnie first appeared in 1926??
Along with friends Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Eeyore and Piglet, Winnie the Pooh lives in Hundred Acre wood, and has some wonderful adventures, with all of the friends working together. Sometimes with the help of Christopher Robin, who was based on Milne's son.
While most of us have a favourite character (mine is Tigger, I love his bounciness)not all of us have read the stories.
Thanks to Disney, this isn't a problem, as there have been a range of films, and lots of "Pooh Bear" goodies are available.
If you are able to, a great place to visit on Winnie the Pooh day is Pooh Corner, the house in Hartfield, East Sussex where A.A. Mile wrote the books.
If you cant make it to East Sussex, how about a teddy bear picnic? Take your favourite cuddly and head out to the woods - don't forget the honey sandwiches.
And if you live near a stream with a bridge ... then how about a game of Pooh sticks. ?
