IF you went down to Lea pre-school's neck of the woods on Thursday July 19, then you would of been in for a snugly surprise.

Because that was the day that tots, from the school in Greaveston Lane, Lea, and their teddies had their outdoor picnic.

From Paddington Bear to Winnie the Pooh -- few can deny that bears enjoy the great outdoors and like nothing better than to get out there and put a smile on the faces of lots of little children.

And for tiny tots at the Preston pre-school a day outdoors with their cuddly friends (and human ones as well) was right up their street.
