Paddington, Scout and the Easter Egg Hunt 1.

PADDY: "Look Scout! Look Cabbage! Brightly coloured Easter eggs everywhere!"

 

SCOUT: "This means you and Cousin Paddington were right, Paddy! The Easter Bunny has been, in spite of the nasty virus."

 

COUSIN PADDINGTON: "See, we told you Scout. No nasty virus is going to keep the Easter Bunny from delivering Easter Eggs to good little boys and girls and bears around the world!"

 

PADDY: "How wonderful. Let's go on an Easter Egg Hunt in the garden and collect as many Easter eggs as we can! Daddy, can you please hold a basket for us to put all these Easter eggs in?"

 

COUSIN PADDINGTON: "What a capital idea, Paddy!"

 

SCOUT: "Grumbly tummy Paddy! Grumbly tummy Daddy!"

 

*Cabbage barks and wags his tail.*

 

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.
