Winnie the Pooh posing with his star on the Walk of Fame was during April 2006: his 80th Anniversary

How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard

Years ago I went to the bridge where, supposedly, Pooh and Christopher Robin played 'pooh-sticks'. In the 100 (500 in real life) acre wood in East Sussex.

Seriously had to walk over quarter of a kilometre to find a single 'stick' that was suitable.

But I completely understood why it was chosen as the location for the tales.

I saw the real Pooh bear at a library in NYC. Looks like it's still there, it was so cool! https://www.nypl.org/spotlight/winnie-the-pooh-100

My favorite story about a kid with schizophrenia playing with his imaginary friends. On the other hand, I would love to be tripping balls on that LSD-laced honey too. Imagine the excitement.
