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.

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.
