We're the Paddy Pals, the last of the wild Irish Teddy Bears who live deep in the Mountains of Mourne. We love hugs and smiles, fun and laughter... The Paddy Pals
Thousands of years ago all of Ireland was covered in deep forest where the Paddy Pals roamed freely. But as the human population grew the bears habitat receded year on year until eventually all the forests and wild places were nearly gone. The remainder of the wild Teddy Bears headed for the last wild place in Ireland, the Mountains of Mourne deep in County Down where they made their home.
As the years went by, they watched from afar the humans who lived in the valleys and towns below them. They watched the farmers tend their crops and the fishermen bring in their catch and slowly but surely, they evolved into a community of self-sufficient Teddy Bears who want for nothing.
They love their home in the Mourne Mountains with its sweeping hills filled with large boulders, rivers and patches of heather that change colour with the seasons. They love to swim in the beautiful Blue Lough and on a clear day they love to look out across the hills to where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.
The bears all look after each other and their community and they don't need anyone other than themselves. Páraic the Farmer produces all the food, and the tasty honey that all the bears love while Finn the Fisherman is out at sea catching fish. Róisín the Colleen strolls through the village singing her stories while Lizzie the Dancer jigs and reels all day long. Logan the Piper plays his Irish bagpipes, keeping the bears entertained while Molly the Weaver weaves the baskets and furniture for all the bears. And of course James the Poet who recites tales of Celtic woe.
If you ever visit the Mountains of Mourne and you think you saw a shadow moving through the woods, or a rustling coming from the bushes or a figure disappearing over the next hill then you probably almost met a Paddy Pal. They can be quite shy and elusive but when they find the right person, they stick to them like glue. They would like nothing better than for you to take them home and make them part of your family where they will look over you and yours forever and a day.
