Blake

Blake is a Build-a-Bear astronaut, complete with a little space suit that was surprisingly intact when we found him. We picked him up at a car boot sale in Addlestone about four years ago, tucked between a bread maker and a box of old DVDs.

He cleaned up well. The space suit just needed a gentle brush and he was ready for duty again.

Blake found his new home about four years ago at the Surbiton Festival, where he caught the eye of a young space fan who carried him around the stall twice before making up their mind. We think he landed in good hands.
