What’s in my diary for December 4?
I’ll be enjoying an early Christmas present, previewing the Victoria & Albert Museum's exhibition Winnie-the-Pooh: Exploring a Classic.
There’ll be 230 works from 1920 to today – sketches, proofs, letters, photographs, cartoons, ceramics and fashion.
My job will to consider what has made A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh such an enduring character, and of course, I’ll have to try the multi-sensory exhibits to explore the world of Pooh Bear that my family has feasted on over the years.
If you’ve played Pooh Sticks in Ashdown Forest, read the bedtime stories and know Now We are Six off by heart you will no doubt be queuing for this one.

My children and Godchildren still love Now We Are Six
When I was one,
I had just begun.
When I was two,
I was nearly new.
When I was three,
I was hardly me.
When I was four,
I was not much more.
When I was five,
I was just alive.
But now I am six,
I'm as clever as clever.
So I think I'll be six
now and forever.
