If you go out to Peddlers Market today You're sure of a big surprise. If you go out to Peddlers today today You'd better go in GG guise.

For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain, because Today's the day the Sheffield bears have their pre-event.

Our lovely GGr Bee help set out socially distanced bears for this great pre-event where all the big bear colourful sculptures from various artists came together prior to taking to the streets of Sheffield, on the Sculpture Trail this year.

A big cheer/ bear roar (do bears roar?) for our lovely GGr Bee, in her supporting The Children's Hospital Charity throughout their Bear Sculpture Trail. With bears currently out and about all over Sheffield, Bee first helped prepare the bears for this pre-event where all 60+ big bears came together under one roof prior to roaming the streets of Sheffield :) She then took part as late night/ early bird street art installer to put them into position for the general public to enjoy. Not stopping there she has been checking in on a number of the bears regularly to check and report any vandalism... and on top of this cleaning the bears on the streets too :) :) :) I can vouch for this as I joined Bee on her Bear cleaning trail this weekend gone :) Wonder-Woman Bee :)

In making this report educational for myself here's the science bit (http://www.bearsmart.com/about-bears/communication/): 'Unlike bears in movies with dubbed-in soundtracks, bears do not usually vocalize. When the need arises, they communicate with grunts by expelling air in different ways, or with a resonant “voice.” Bears use the same vocalizations and body language toward people that they do toward each other, and knowing those sounds can help people react appropriately to bears they encounter' :)
