Home of Winnie-the-Pooh. National Winnie-the-Pooh Day

If you find yourself in a sticky situation, surrounded by honey pots and daydreams, you might just be celebrating National Winnie-the-Pooh Day! Today marks the birthday of AA Milne, the creator of the lovable, honey-obsessed bear who taught us that sometimes the best adventures happen when you're not looking for them. The writer introduced the world to Pooh in 1926, and he quickly became a household name. Milne's writing was inspired by his own son, Christopher Robin, and his toy bear—a story that began in a small nursery and turned into a global phenomenon.

Ever wondered where Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends truly roam? Well, today's image features Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England, which is the real-life Hundred Acre Wood. The forest covers over 6,500 acres (2,500 hectares), giving you plenty of space to picture Pooh off on another adventure. Moreover, you can visit Pooh Bridge and play Poohsticks in the exact spot where Pooh and his friends did. It's a fantastic way to connect with the characters and bring a bit of that childhood magic into your day.
