Hibernation
Thank you for joining in the Bear Hunt! With restrictions easing, the call for bear hunts has evaporated. Children are back to school and childcare, so the Bears of Stone Place have decided it is time to hibernate. But...before you go, let me share a story. This is a story written by one of the old people who share the house with the Bears of Stone Place Dedicated to the children and families who went on Bear Hunts during the COVID-19 restrictions of 2020 and to emergency workers worldwide. No Ordinary Time In a time not so long ago, people stayed home. Many got sick and some even died. It was no ordinary time. Somewhere in this ‘stay at home’ world, not far from a large city, a beam of joy shimmered through the trees into Stone Place. This was no ordinary street. This was the home of the Bears of Stone Place. From a dark cupboard unopened for years, six eyes of three once loved bears, peered out and scampered into the garden.
