Ah you are back @Lilaca 

Dear friend

Keeping us uptodate with your letter is great. We need a storyteller.

I think that we have several.

All telling different parts of the story which works so well.

Tigger thanks you for your kind words and noticing that he had time out.

He needs to have his space to gather as many of the thoughts buzzing around so quickly in his head and then try to settle.

Confusion starts to clear slowly after a while.

The warmth of the sun shining on his warm blanket he finds comforting. 

He was not cuddled very much or hugged when he was growing up.

He knew that he was loved; was not told so or shown physical affection..

He loves exploring and discovering new places, things.

He would love to invite his new band of friends over.

However, he too holds back as he has read in the letter of others.

He needs to feel safe in sharing his secret place where he can restore his energy.

He has shown his friends a picture and shared the excitement of an invitation perhaps later as they each get to know more about the other one.

He suddenly wonders about the cat. Who is feeding the cat?

Perhaps someone else uses the secret place as theirs when he is not there.

Perhaps that is what it really is a secret place within our minds where we can go and feel safe when life is all too hard, painful and draining.

A secret place where we do not have to worry about what others think about us, or that we might upset another.

A secret place where we will fit in, if we feel that we do not fit in elsewhere.

Tigger thinks that he might hang onto his secret place a little longer.

Dear new friends

So many of you to remember now. Tigger yawns

Eeyore kindly wrote a list for him. Now where is that list?

@Oaktree (did you know that there is  a Meggles on here?) (We nearly had another new friend.) So you are Eeyore whom I think is looking after me. Thank you @Oaktree 

@Lilaca has time out and then comes back with such stylish writing and knows so much about us. You are Winnie the Pooh of course.

@Exoplanet I know that you are little bee who has such a vivid imagination and is so very very busy.

@NatureLover You are Kanga Roo's mother I think and you take special care of Roo

@Ripples I think that you are Roo whose mummy is Kanga.

@Shaz51 💖🐦  you are our very own Christopher Robin. Our only human. You are such a lovely human to have so many different creatures as your friends.

@Anastasia is the wise owl in our group whom we can hear at night. Watching over us with one eye open some of the time. Just in case.

@Emelia8 You are our friend piglet who likes hiding behind trees. I think that you are going to have lots of ideas for us when you come out into the open. You might run straight back behind the trees because we can be a tad noisy when we are all busy doing what we are supposed to be. At the same time some of us , in particular Tigger gets carried away and loves happy cheerful funny moments where he can be silly and it does not bother anyone.

I thought I saw mention of a rabbit in a story very similar to ours. Or perhaps I am confused with the time when I found the Mad Hatter's tea party where a rabbit was looking at a special time piece.

Tigger must remember to write a letter to each of you not all at once.

Or perhaps we could have a letter reader.

There are more letters now as the band of friends is growing.

The bat is not happy having to get up even earlier.

Goodnight all

Tigger is tired now

A little sad

Not sure why.

Something in the air.
