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!!!

I'm thrilled - I think it's running from June/July to the end of the year and will take place in the old central library in the middle of town

Really pleased for you Ann

Thats lovely Ann and I am sure that Teddy will have a super time on holiday with other toys of his age.

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.

AnnCardiff Report 30 May 2008 16:52

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

Hi Ann
Hope Teddy settles in well... I'll have to pop in and say hello to him when the exhibition starts-I work right next to the old library on The Hayes...

What a lucky Ted!
My panda (a utility toy handed down from my sister) loved to wave at trains - but he never managed to ride on one.
Did you see your Ted settled into his glass case?
