Dumble Gets Crafty

The badge making phase included this gem Dumbledore wanted. It tell’s everyone he’s King Dumbledore. ‘Course most of us could tell be the rather fetching pink crown he’s wearing in the pic.

New slaves to do my bidding

Finally after months of trying to convince them the humans have finally got me rat slaves. These two little critters can do my bidding and fetch me food! There does seem to be a small problem right now where they eat the food rather than pass it on to their King but this will change soon enough!

Royal visit to the Dounby Show

Welcome to another thrilling excerpt from my life. I know you inferior humans like to read about my glorious fun so you can give meaning to your otherwise drab existence so I will regal you with the tale of my royal visit to Dounby show.

Dounby is a town in Orkney and the show is an opportunity to meet all the players in the area and catch up on the latest gossip. As you’d expect I enjoyed conversations with many of my loyal animal subjects. I am sure that these sheep will remember this moment for the rest of their limited existence.The local dogs performed for my pleasure. There did not appear to be much plot to their show but they put their heart into it and enthusiastically led their humans around a obstacle course.Like all good local shows a large attraction was the rides. I too love a good tea cup ride and I also really enjoyed the swing ride. I had ordered a royal video of the event but my PR lackey feels that not everyone would appreciate me going round in circles for a minute. I would urge you to campaign for your right to see this momentous movie, I think it’s a shocking piece of censorship that I am not being allowed to share it with you and make your dull little lives a bit brighter.

Adieu,
King Dumbledore

I go driving in my car…

Well loyal subjects over the holidays I had the opportunity to try my paw at a range of driving opportunities. I can’t help but feel if I weren’t the wonderful and royal bear I was I might have considered a career as a JCB driver. You must admit I look very good at the wheel!

I also tried my paw at train driving though I found that there was a small issue of scale – having said that I was of course still very talented at it.

Finally a bit of fun I had heard that Quad biking this could be dangerous but I think you’ll agree I am completely in control of this rather shiny example. I even let Mohinder (one of my little tiger chums) try driving a 4×4.

Of course there are times when you just want to be driven and for those moments I have slaves servants to help me out and chocolate to nibble as I relax.

Until the next time,

Dumbledore sighted munching cake!

The only Palin I support is Michael!

Usually I am a politically neutral bear but it has come to my attention that a certain USA vice-presidential candidate (Sarah Palin) is against me and my noble ursus maritimus brothers. Apparently she feels we are not in any danger and doing just dandy.

Now I know for a fact that rising temperatures are affecting my ursine brethren. Not all of us can live in houses and eat chocolate all day, some have to live in much colder places and have to hunt for their own food (I know it’s sad but I can only try and lead by example).

I urge my ursine brethren to support Obama. Remember, a vote for Obama is a vote for Polar Bears.

"Heaven, I’m in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak…"

…when we’re out together buying chocs to eat.

Underling I have discovered heaven and it’s name is ‘The Oban Chocolate Company’.

Handmade chocolates you can see being made. The first challenge
was to choose from the menu. Not a simple task – even choosing a hot chocolate was a challenge in the end I couldn’t decide so I got two.

The chocolate sampler was wonderful. They had ones with chilli so they had a hot after taste, banoffee truffles, honey and ginger white chocolates…

Though I can’t help but feel I might have had eyes bigger than my tummy…

Rather busy…

Please don’t take the lack of posting as a I have given up the crafty goodness – more that proper work has caught up with me and I am currently trying to help get a Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition out, co-ordinate Duke of Edinburgh Award stuff for Girlguiding Scotland, finish my sock monster, get my Lones newsletter finished and do myreal 9-5 job!

Crafty night was cancelled this week but my version of Jingjing, a cat badge plus ‘Pungy’ the sock monster and some more Dumbldore adventures are all coming soon… ish

Can’t wait for more Dumbledore adventures? He’s been spotted lurking over at Clair’s House

Royal Train Journey

Loyal Subjects,

I thought you’d like to witness your great King enjoying a exciting train ride on Mull. During my recent royal visit to the area I took a short trip on the Mull Railway on my way to visit Torosay Castle. Through this video you can pretend that you were with me, basking in my regal glory.

I hope you enjoyed that,

King Dumbledore

Zoo Trip by Dumbledore (King) Part 2

Welcome back loyal subjects!

After lunch we decided to walk on the wild side. By taking a look at some cats.

Now those of you who know me may know I live with a couple of tigers (one a tad bee obssessed and one who is a spider fan) neither are exactly towering.

It turns out that they are very little indeed compared to those who feast on bigger meat than insects!

I on the other hand am as tall as an 8 year old Chimp!

I then hunted spoke to some of my subjects.

The penguins looked tasty but I just couldn’t get their wrappers off!

Alas it finally came to heading home.

However I had found a new subject to help me rule my Kingdom.

Bill Tong is a Red River Hog and is now the offical Royal Chocolate Finder. This high honour is because I am told that pigs are specialists at finding chocolate truffles.

Until next time,

King Dumbledore.
