A Scottish Man, Teddy Bears, and Tea Cups

I've been meaning to tell you about a Scottish man that we often see when we go on our morning walk.  Unlike many of the usual people we meet this fellow makes no eye contact and looks straight ahead, not exactly unfriendly but not friendly either.  Otherwise I would have asked him if I could take his photograph. He looks somewhat like this pic off the internet.. He has the beret ( with a short braid down his back) and his "scarf" is much wider and sometimes is attached with a large brooch.
He has a medium sized grey/black dog that also ignores everything except his master.

While looking for a photo that was similar to mystery man I found this picture of bears in kilts. Aren't they cute?

Speaking of bears, I must show you my latest Teddy bear. Notice the purple velvet paws. So cute I couldn't resist.
 

And, here is yet another tea cup, this one made in England by Royal London.
The cookie is a Snickerdoodle.  Isn't that a strange name for a cookie?

That's it for today. I have been baking. Apple/Cinnamon muffins  and Cinnamon buns. GD Kate is coming over after work so I wanted to have freshly baked goodies around.

Thanks for visiting.
