An Award!

“None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson!

Wow!
Thank you so much Auntie Leslie for this award.

Life has been very busy here in the Nesbitt household of late.

Mummy hasn't been very well but the spring weather seems to have lifted everybody's spirits...it also brings with it progress for our expedition.

We are counting down the days now, not long to go at all.

I am definately signed up to go and we are trying to raise funds for Percival to accompany me.

Sometimes I think we need company for such events.

We are going to be organising a huge teddy bear event in the next few weeks and will be telling you all about it here.

Until then, I need to pass this award onto at least10 excellent blogs.....well that is easy for me.

Skywatch Friday!

It is not the mountains that we conquer, but ourselves.
Sir Edmund Hillary

As I prepare for my Expedition I am trying to get as many tips as possible.
I was watching a programme about the late Sir Edmund Hillary and the cold sky made me think...
"Will it be like this in the Arctic?"

I think it will!
Those of you in Norway will have a good idea!

I am going to stay for a few days with my Grandma, whilst she knits me some suitable colthes.

I will be back soon!

Lots of Love,
Edmund (the explorer) Nesbitt!
