CARING children took their poorly cuddly toys to get well at a special teddy bear hospital. The Down at the Farm attraction, near Houghton-le-Spring, created its own teddy bear casualty and admissions ward for concerned children to treat their favourite companions. Budding young doctors and nurses were able to help make their own teddy better with medicines and bandages. The farm's vet Frances Norton was on hand to give every teddy a medical check, and then rewarded the children with a certificate. When the bears were all well again, they took part in the best dressed ted competition. As well as the bear clinic, visitors could also groom donkeys, wash kune kune pigs and tortoises, walk alpacas and hand-feed deer.
