Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable
Share a picture of a COMPANION and explain why you chose that picture.
Okay, so this one sent me all sentimental! Firstly, I still miss our cat Pixel so much. He was a wonderful companion.
Secondly, the theme brought to mind childhood toys and TV shows. Bagpuss is still watched and loved by millions! How could anyone not love him?
So here we are with my one constant companion, my camera 🙂
“And so their work was done.
Bagpuss gave a big yawn and settled down to sleep
And, of course, when Bagpuss goes to sleep,
All his friends go to sleep too.
The mice were ornaments on the mouse organ.
Gabriel and Madeleine were just dolls.
Professor Yaffle was a carved, wooden bookend in the shape of a woodpecker.
Even Bagpuss himself, once he was asleep, was just an old, saggy cloth cat,
Baggy, and a bit loose at the seams,
But Emily loved him” – Oliver Postgate
Goodnight everyone x

What was he doing sleeping with Little Ted when the gorgeous Looby Lou was there? What a clown! Anyway, since I*m here in Scandoland, what about Mr postgate’s epic meisterwerk – Noggin the Nog! Beat that then. Smartypants! 😀 xxxx (just in case you were getting all serious! 😀
Oh wow, Noggin was awesome! My sister loved that especially and Button Moon 🙂 Here’s a Nordic connection for you, Little Gnome Stories books. And lets not forget The Clangers 😉

Now you have me wanting to see that show! Sounds like wonderful memories. Very cute photo!
Oh, it’s wonderful!!! They only made 13 episodes but it’s become a bit of an institution here. I think there are some episodes on YouTube 🙂
1st episode here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-JRjMeMjcE 🙂
Well, I have never heard of Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss…. and I am older than dirt. (I guess it was after my time)
It was 1974, just a year before I was born! This is a link to the 1st episode on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-JRjMeMjcE

I bet no one remembers Billy Bean and his Funny Machine – now that is seriously old!
No I didn’t remember it but having looked it up I think we might have had an episode of it on a “Watch With Mother” video when we were kids!

Bagpuss is still loved – I bought my youngest granddaughter a Bagpuss ‘hottie’ last Christmas and she loves him too! Sadly I am old enough to remember the original Watch with Mother – none of this YouTube stuff for me 😉
Lovely post Sarah.
Nothing sad about it! I think Bagpuss will always be a favourite for children 🙂
Aw Bagpuss…Im so glad you posted this for the challenge, it has brought back some lovely memories for me….I loved the mice 🙂
My sister and I still do the the mouse voice and songs occasionally 😉
