Two years with magical Knutitours

25.1.2010 – By Knuti, Photos by LeenaP

Today is a very special day – it was exactly two years ago Knutitours started the magical tour with you! Since Mervi always tells me she’s ‘a daughter of white wilderness’ I thought some lovely winter photos of La Donna and me would be very suitable for this lead. LeenaP – also a daughter of snowy landscape – visited us in the beginning of January and took some wonderful pictures.

Dear Gianna, isn’t it amazing that there are so many blogs and sites about my humble person? Everybody thought my fans would loose their interest but they were so wrong. Knutitours is one of the sites …..

When Mervi started Knutitours two years ago she couldn’t even imagine that the site would be still going strong in the year 2010.

There are so many stories, photos and collages …. but of course, my fans always feel inspired by me!

You can see a sample of collages here

The word ‘cute’ must be one of the most common words in all the comments about Gianna and me….

Well, I AM cute – don’t you all agree?

Hahahaa – do you remember when the visitors in the Knuipe had to enter through the chimney? Oh dear, so many problems with the Server Family there have been but my friends always manage to figure out how to come in.

There have been so much laughter but also many tears. The Knuipe has become a place where we can be ourselves and ‘let our hair down’ as Auntie Retta put it. Let’s hope we can visit our hangout for many, many years. May I remind you that my own magazine KWM will also soon have a 1 year anniversary….

Let’s celebrate Knutitours, all the other Knuti related blogs and life itself!!

The following photos are without comments because the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy!

  1. Liebe Mervi!

  2. Liebe Mervi!
    Danke für die Knutitours und für die Knuipe. Die Knuipe ist ein verzauberter Platz. Hier können wir zusammen träumen und lachen. Wir machen uns ungestört Sorgen und freuen uns über unseren Bären.
    Liebe LeenaP!
    Danke für die schönen Bilder.
    Hugs von Ludmila

  3. Slowly I ran out of words now.

    Dear Mervi, once again thank you for all your hard work and for never ever having given in/up! One has to be a strong character not to be desillusionized (I don’t know if this word exists in English but I am sure you understand what I mean!) doing so much of thinking-, acting-, realizing-work, and sometimes getting not too much reactions…

    Thanks also to those assisting Mervi once in a while, and contributing with interesting, funny, nice, … stories, information, and pictures – mainly but not only about Knuti and his closest four-legged friends.

    Have a nice day of inner celebration everbody!

  4. Dear Mervi,

    Congratulations on two years of your wonderful Knutitours – magical they have been, still are, and hopefully will be for a long time to come! I think you are doing a wonderful job for all of us in bringing us the reports, funny stories and pictures, and, not to forget, in keeping the English-speaking friends up to date concerning the further ‘adventures’ of Knut and Gianna and other animals. It’s all really very much appreciated.

    All the best,
    Frans

  7. Dear Mervi,
    thank you so much for running Knutitours. I do hope this will be ongoing. This is the place where one can really de-stress, where there is so much fun and joy. Your hard work on this unique Magazine and Forum is very much appreciated. I cannot imagine what was life before KWM and Knutitours. I am very proud that you offered me my column which makes it possible for me to provide all the friends with news, reports and stories about our beloved bears. Furthermore we will never forget to have met so many nice friends in Berlin personally. The visit in Knuipe together with you and Vesa, TBM and TBV and Ralph was sensational.
    With Knutitours and KWM you have given so many of us a second home. That is wonderful!
    Thank you again so much for all your hard work and efforts. We simply love to be here with you and so many friends.
    Special hugs to you and Vesa from caren&bernd

    Dear Leena,
    your lovely photos are the appropriate frame for this special lead article. Thank you so much for sharing them with us
    Hugs from caren&bernd

  8. Methinks that the before-spoken comments have summarized my thoughts as well.

    Gracias, thank you, vielen danke !

    Seeing Knuti and Gia in various tantric poses allows us viewers to know that all is OK with Knuti, as is his transition from boy-bear to adult-bear.

    Prost, Many Thanks !

  13. Dear Mervi,

    As you „founded“ Knutitours, I was very happy to be able to find all your stories in one place. That’s why I often visit your blog – in order not to miss anything! Investigator Knuseau – who could resist him?! My congratulations to the first two years – I wish your blog a long, long life and you and your guests a lot of fun!
