Hello..
I'm Bert's brother Edward our Ted as he calls me. You'll be able to see me and say hello at Chicago International '18.
He's sorry him and Eadie won't be there with the rest of us as he's going to be a bit busy on his allotment and Eadie didn't want to go without him.
So, I'll be the one to come and see to give you the news and such like.
I wouldn't mind it either if you wanted me to stay. Bert says he hopes someone buys me as he's fed up of me getting on to him about the weeds.
...Breaking News…
Ted was bought by a lovely lady at Chicago International and is now residing in the USA. Bert says they don't know what they're letting themselves in for!
It was a brilliant exhibition and a virtual sell out. It's a good job she was organised and got all her Kensington stock at home ready and waiting.
She learnt her lesson from last year. As my old scout master used to tell us, be prepared.
'ello there… Did you hear the latest?
She took us all to a posh miniatures exhibition in Barcelona,
at a lovely hotel facing the sea Hotel del Mar 'an we 'ad a lovely old time of it.
Mind you, half way through the show, they all upped and went for lunch or a sleep… Bert thought it was a good idea, we don't do that at them shows back home.
She and hubby did a spot of sightseeing too, and that lovely lady, whats er name, Montse or summat like that took 'em round a big antiques market…Bert said her hubby was lucky they didn't keep 'im.
Now, you'll 'ave to excuse me, I got me work to be a getting on with. I gotta make 'er a cuppa as she works better then and she's got lots to do. Eadie Shepherd
'Ere' Bert...
You aint the only one that gets bought you know. Me and the lovely Lil (you know, 'er that's always got 'er make up on for 'er cleaning job) ...well we was a sitting in the pub minding our own like cos 'Er' was busy talking to 'er customers at Miniatura, when blow me down, we gets bought, twice.
So, 'Er's got to make more of we. Don't think we'll be going to the other side of the world like you mind, but it'll be somewhere nice cos I know 'Er wouldn't sell us to just anybody, if you know what I mean.
And that's one in the eye for them posh old ladies with their fur stole's 'n whatnots, cos they'm still 'ere, they didn't get chosen... well, with class like me an Lil, what do you expect?

This is Eadie speaking...yes Bert, I'm going to tell them...Excuse him, he's always doing that... she's asked us to say thank you for coming to see us at Kensington and Miniatura. You were all lovely she said, buying some of us and asking her to make some others. Some of us have gone off to Denmark, and the lady that bought them was so pleased when she showed her husband and he told her to get some more 'cos he liked us that much. Now that's what I call nice. So that's another four of us going out there, not me mind, nobody wanted me. Hmmph. We'll look forward to seeing you soon then : )
Okay...that int true..I 'ave been bought a few times...'er keeps me for 'herself like, cos I'm special, takes orders and makes me again as I'm so popular....well, what do'ya expect ; )
>Did I tell you about Bert? Got himself bought,by a lady over from New Zealand to get away from the rugby world cup. And he never said he wouldn't go without me. Hmmph.

Er... my name's Bert and this is Eadie. Hello.
She wants us to chat to you like....bits of news here and there, gossip and such like. Eadie's all excited about it, but I dunno... what's this internet about anyway?
Ere..shove over.. ahem. Hello. I'm Eadie. Eadie Shepherd, and he's Albert Woodward, Bert. Lives next door an' I cook him a bit of dinner since he lost his Mable...his wife that is God bless her.
I lost my husband, and me and Bert have a natter now an again like. Always on at me to give up the fags he is, but he has his beer so I don't see the harm in it. Anyway....
She's been busy, sculpting and sewing and such-like, she enjoys it though, up all hours. Her poor hubby has to get his own tea when she's got one of them fairs she does. That's where we find our new owners. That and the internet. And over the phone. Move with the times was what my ol'man used to say.
What's that Bert? Oh, he wants to ask if Ida remembers him, and to get in touch if she does.......
Ida,I don't know of any Ida. Bert,was that before my time? Bert....
