The Red Door

Martin The Golden Sun Bear

Martin arrived at The Red Door about a month ago now. He was a little shy to begin with but over the last few weeks we have really seen him emerge from behind his woolly scarves. Martin works in the Gallery five days a week and likes to spend his days off exploring his new city. 

Martin is certainly proving to be a very popular young bear. We have already received four beautiful handmade scarves to keep his furry neck warm, two of which arrived through the post in a parcel simply addressed to 'Martin'. The other two were delivered in person to The Red Door by the very talented Madeleine Shepherd. 

Last Tuesday a young lady visited The Red Door purely to see our handsome new employee. During their conversation I do believe I saw his golden cheeks turn a bashful shade of pink. Poor little Martin spent the rest of his week gazing longingly through the Gallery windows and doodling in his Little Otsu Journal. Oh dear...

 Thank you so much Madeleine, he looks incredibly dapper!
