From an early age, my friends and I were addicted to collecting TY beanies. For those of you who do not know for some strange reason, TY Beanies are a collection of little teddies in all forms, from animals and teddy bears. Once you start a collection they are quite addictive. They draw you in instantly and after that you cannot go back!
One of the Beanies is a bear named Dear. It's quite a cute name, but if I heard it without seeing it I would automatically picture a sweet little Bambi character.

Who is David Bowie?
Since we're on Ciao UK, I suppose there is little need to explain to you who David Bowie
is, but I well tell you a little bit about his life!
David Bowie was born on January 8, 1947, in Brixton. Later, his family moved to
Bromley. His older brother exposed him to modern music from early on and took him
along to concerts in Soho when David was 13. In the 60s, he worked with various bands
and he later wrote his famous song "Space Oddity". In the Glamrock area, he rose to
