I guess five years and 2 months is a good life for any teddie. He had a good life. And what a way to end it... travelling through Spain! Here is the last sighting of Tom’s favourite toy since he was a baby (along with Tiggy), given to him by his God-Parents, Bec and Glum. Somewhere between leaving Salamanca’s Plaza Mayor and arriving at San Sebastian, “Bue Bear” left us. 
But we’ll remember our night in Salamanca for good reasons too! Dinner in the Plaza Mayor was a highlight, after driving all day from Lisbon. We entered Salamanca over the Roman bridge just before sunset and the City looked as though it was made of gold – the sandstone was such a contrast to the white-washed Lisbon. And then, to watch the sunset while eating paella in Plaza Mayor – it was a pinch-yourself moment!
Isobel was totally won over by the local students playing guitars randomly in the square ... and stomped her feet to the “Las Tunas” – a student minstrel band dressed in full Renaissance costumes.
I was in my element watching the stylish residents... they take their fashion a little more seriously than the Portuguese. Maybe that was why I didn’t notice Bue Bear go astray... Or was it the San Miguel beer?
