How to make friends -


 And influence people?!  This phrase may be well known to many, in this age of Mobile Phones & IT wizardry. but meeting a person in real life and discovering friendship between compatible souls, is another matter entirely.

I first came to life thanks to the nimble fingers of one who was and is an admirer of the original Pooh and Piglet tales. My photograph clearly tells the world I'm of an era long before Walt Disney created his cartoon version. My 'blueprint', as you might say, was drawn by E H Shepard, to whom I'll owe a debt of gratitude for ever more...
