Scout, Paddington, Cousin Paddington and the Birthday Present 4.
SCOUT: "WOW! Look! It's a beautiful beret! How wonderful! I feel so special!"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "So you should Scout! It's your birthday!"
PADDY: "Look at the beautiful houndstooth it is made from and the pretty golden button on the top! It has a crest on it! You will feel very regal when you wear it!"
SCOUT: "Oh I will!" *Blushes pink beneath woollen plush.* "Thank you so much Paddy! Thank you so much Daddy!"
PADDY and DADDY: "You are very welcome birthday bear Scout!"
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Cousin Paddington is a recent visitor to our family. Travelling all the way from London, he was caught in transit thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic, so it looks like he is stopping with us for a while. The more I look into his happy, smiling face, the more attached I am becoming to him.
