	The Welsh National Museum is putting on an exhibition about childhood memories, childhood games etc and asked for contributions through the South Wales Echo. I responded and was then asked if I had any tangible items from my childhood - I said clothing coupon books, ID card and a much loved but threadbare Teddy - same age as me, 72 in June. They have asked to borrow him for the exhibition and have assured me he will be secure in a glass cabinet and would I like to deliver him or should they send a car for him!!!! I've decided to take him cos he's never been into the city centre before!!!

	Today's the day!! Me and Ted will be off in a minute to meet the lady at the museum - think we'll go on the train rather than bus - he hasn't been on a train before and fortunately it's not raining cos he hasn't got a mac.

	Teddy is now in the centre of Cardiff!! He enjoyed it on the train but was a bit taken aback by all the noise in the city centre - I won't get him back until January now, but I can pop in and see him and will be invited to the launch of the exhibition next month
