Regular readers of this blog will recall that in December (see post of 8 December) we donated a bear to the Lord Mayor's Bear Necessities Appeal to take up residence in the Mansion House, along with bears from all the other livery companies. At the time we decided to dress him as a warden of the Drapers' Company and Penny Fussell our archivist made a most fetching miniature version of our livery robes.
We were therefore most upset to be recently informed by the Lord Mayor's secretary that our bear has disappeared. We have no idea as to how this could have happened and if any reader of this blog knows of, or has any theories as to, the whereabouts of this artificially furry little creature I would be pleased to know.
Meanwhile a replacement has been made by the Lord Mayor's staff although the new bear is without special robes.
I hope I can eventually report the safe return of our original 'Fifth Warden.'
