Medium: 28cm x 33cm (inside aperture 14.5cm x 19.5cm) Proudly made in the UK Badger Bee There is a woodland in the heart of the English countryside old as time Trees become dense the deeper you go as the air grows cool and fairy bells chime the branches above sigh with age as they creak and groan softly whispering tales Lichen covers their bark and their roots are entwined with primroses and bluebells Beneath these roots an ancient tunnel system lays where many animals roam For hundreds of years a generation of Badgers have called this place home Golden rays of sunrise shine down on the earth lighting up a head of black and white hair As a little wet black nose pokes out of the tunnel entrance and sniffs the air With week sight but a keen sense of smell little Tommy badger emerges from the hole Whilst his clan are asleep he has eagerly planned this secret morning stroll Curiosity burning in his heart, his young and inquisitive nature won't allow him to sleep What happens during the day? He has asked himself, I really must know, just a peek So up and out climbs this brave little badger, on an adventure to find blue skies The warmth on his fur and twinkle of sunlight dazzling his gentle eyes The world of day brings new sounds and life very different to the cool of the dark He can smell the flowers of the meadow and hear the morning song of the lark Following the scent of wild meadow flowers padding along on his powerful feet What awaits in this world of the day? He wonders who he might possibly meet Suddenly he hears a mysterious noise as it fills his ears with a buzzing sound With a flash of black and yellow fluff and a tangle of legs flying around €œI'm Tommy€ says the badger nervously, €œwho are you that I can see?€ €œWhy of course I am a humble bumble€ comes the reply, €œbut my friends just call me Bee€ Would you like some breakfast young Tommy? I know of a bush full of delicious elderberries With joy in his heart to have found such a friend Tommy happily replies €œyes please€ So, whilst the other badgers slept soundly, Tommy knew it was friendship that he had craved His adventures were only just beginning, such wonders awaited him because he had been brave.
