The original bridge where Milne and his son Christopher Robin created the game Pooh sticks became worn and unsafe in the late 1990s.

It was dismantled and replaced with a replica which is still in place in Ashdown Forest.

The original structure sold at auction in 2021 for £131,000.

For anyone with young children I highly recommend reading them Winnie-the-Pooh for bedtime stories - much fun!

I was a quiet kid. Books, shows, and films shaped my sensibilities and moral tastes.

I wonder if that remains possible today. Content designed solely for the dopamine hit seems to crowd out everything else.
