Silver wedding anniversary

CHRIS AND SPURRY STEAKFACE CELEBRATED their 2.5th wedding anniversary yesterday. The South African bear and Jewish monkey met three years ago in Cape Town, and said that the 2.5 years they have spent 'just flew by'.

Pictures of the newlyweds showed none of the loose threads or dirty marks now visible on the toys' faces. 'People used to say I was like a child getting married,' observed Spurry. 'Then again people still mistake me for a child! Aaaaaah!'

In their 2.5 years together, Chris and Spurry have had two children, Stephen and David. They live in a flat in the Dolls House in Smallvania. They celebrated their silver anniversary with a trip to the luxury 'Brambles' restaurant, just opened on Sunshine Avenue.

'2.5 years for two toys is a remarkable achievement. Here's to 2.5 more! Well done Chris and Spurry' commented Ducky.

Ducky is three years old.

Chris is forty-two years old.

BOSTON WELCOMED THE STUDENT AMBASSADOR FOR BROWNIES last week, when Freida Floss, the official bear of Second Knowle Brownies, touched stayed on the bed. She soon made friends with the many other Bear Factory and Build-a-Bear residents of Toyland, introducing herself at the top of her lungs with a confident 'I BELONG TO SECOND KNOWLE BROWNIES!'

Freida sampled the national dish, steak and chips, and visited the sights of Kensington Palace and the stunning views over the garden. There was even time for shopping in the fashionable House of Bramble Department Store in bustling Smallvania Square.


Pictured: Freida was wined and dined courtesy of Emily, shown here enjoying a meal out in Hampton-in-Arden. She was said to remain happy even when her car waiting outside was parked in by Jeff and Mabel Badger who were attending the nearby Old Folks' Brass Band Concert.

Freida even visited the Land of Old Toys, and met Prime Minister Nizz, the Australian koala bear who runs day to day affairs there. Blueberry Blue showed her around the run down area, and told her about the various volunteering projects being run there.

The Express asked Floss how Emily's Toyland compared to other Brownies' homes. 'It is about a hundred times better than any of them put together, of course,' she smiled, before adding that she belonged to Second Knowle Brownies.

Ducky is three years old.
