Harry's Passport.


My youngest son, Wills, had a teddy bear named Harry; they were inseparable (maybe they still are). When he was very small, we travelled between England and France on a regular basis, and of course Harry was always an essential member of the party.

Quite naturally, we all had our own passports, so of course Harry needed one too. We briefly considered applying to The Passport Office, but Wills (being Wills) thought he'd just make one for Harry himself.
It's a full size faithful replica, and would probably fool most passport officers. If I lost MY passport, I would be quite upset; if I ever lost Harry's, I would be devastated!!

You can see by the state of it, that it's been very well used. It's also one of the old type passports... so much classier than the new burgundy jobs.

  3. A family heirloom. Such a super idea, did it ever get presented at customs?

    1. No, I don't think so. Wills took it along just in case Harry was stopped!

  5. My bear Mr M.T.Bear used to come on hols with us had his own small Passport. It has lots of stamps in it from the nice people at Calais, Dunkerque, Boulogne and Cheriton.
    I regret that it was not so nice a document as Harry's.
    I suppose that post Brexit it will have to come our of semi-retirement.

    1. If we can find Harry; I don't know where he's hiding. Possibly in a loft somewhere.

  7. Did you give Harry a bit of a hand in the making? It is a proper artwork.

    1. Not sure about that, but when he was young he was always busy. Always creating something or other.

  13. Wills did a fantastic job ....... so realistic ... he has wonderful observation. Children are often so good at art when very young and then lose it as they get older. They don't seem to think too hard about it when young but we all seem to get a bit more intense about it all as we age. I have a drawing of one of our fireplaces that our daughter did when she was very young and its brilliant ! I'll have to try and find it and put it on my blog. XXXX
