The other Harry.

 

I've shown Harry's passport previously. Harry is my youngest son's (Wills) bear, and as he travelled extensively with us, he needed his own passport, which Wills made. It's a dead-ringer for a real one.


What I haven't shown before is Harry himself. So here he is (below), looking exactly like his passport photo; unlike most of us.


Harry's getting old these days, so doesn't travel as much. In fact he stays in England when we go to France, and Wills stays in Oz.

I hope they gave him lots of stamps in his passport. He's a handsome bear and I'm sure was the best of friends to Wills. I'm glad he's being looked after in his old age.

He is. He's out of the loft and enjoying life.

Is Harry's wife difficult, rude and abrasive? Perhaps he should have picked a different wife.

JayCee said...

Harry has a big smile on his face. He is obviously happy with life.

She's a bit part actress. She was once in an unknown TV soap called 'Suets', all about alternative puddings.

Cro Magnon said...

He's a very good-natured Bear.

Sweet

Doesn't he get lonely?

Shirley said...

His passport doesn't make him look like he escaped from somewhere. Unlike most of us😁

New World said...

All parts in suets being played by puddings.

One of our penguins has a passport, he loves to go to France.

Cro Magnon said...

He is.

Cro Magnon said...

No, I talk to him every day.

Cro Magnon said...

Mine makes me look like a Ghost.

Cro Magnon said...

Harry's is just like the real thing, plenty of pages, stamps, etc. It's a wonderful thing.

Mr. Writer by choice...here you go.

Isn't that cute?! I have my teddy (his name is Beary) that I got when I was 2 years old so that makes him 70 years old! He doesn't look as good as Will's bear. Mine has no ears, little stuffing and his bit of his fur has worn off (from hugging, I think!) But I still treasure him.

Carol Caldwell said...

I remember the passport. It's good to see Harry himself. His passport is such a good likeness unlike most of us.

Cro Magnon said...

Indeed.

Cro Magnon said...

Old Teddies are by far the best, they mature with age. Harry is about 40 years old, but he's looking good.

Cro Magnon said...

Mine is dreadful. My wife had a very good photo refused, then sent a dreadful one which was accepted. It makes no sense.

Susan said...

Harry has survived the test of time very nicely. I'm sure there are lots of good memories associated with Harry.

Coppa's girl said...

Harry has the contented look of a much-loved bear.
My new rescue dog has a passport and it actually has a good photo of her as a three year old when she was adopted by her former owner. She's 14 now and hasn't changed much. Wish I could say the same!

Debby said...

Could Wills draw my passport photo.

River said...

What a shame Harry doesn't travel so much, I am sure he would love to go with you next time.

Cro Magnon said...

Yes, he's been an important member of the family.

Cro Magnon said...

Billy went to the Vet' yesterday for an annual jab. He too has a passport with his photo; very flattering it is too!

Cro Magnon said...

It could be arranged!

Cro Magnon said...

I'll ask him, although sharing the back of the car with Billy may not suit him.
