A brief disclaimer: there will be a bunch of additional posts (as usual, at the end of the year, before posting Christmas Tree, I try to catch up with all the unfinished stuff).

Coincidentally, while we were in King’s Lynn, there was a flea market at their local Guildhall, which occurs every first Saturday of the month. And while there, I fetched this adorable guy, the legendary Rupert Bear, a very well-loved character from Herbert Tourte’s comic strips that were published daily in the Daily Express for many years (starting in the 1920s) and then turned into a book series about his adventures.
The world knows Milne’s Winnie the Pooh (and rightfully so), but Rupert was an inseparable part of the English childhood’s lore, too.
On the way to the exit I spotted an old guy who was selling the Rupert books and bought one of them, from 1949. He told me that it would go with my Rupert fairly well.
