Scout, Rosie, Paddy and Daddy Make A Gift for Peter
PADDY: "Hullo Scout! Hullo Rosie! Hullo Daddy! What are you all doing?"
DADDY: "Peter gave me a flower to say congratulations because things that weren't good for me worked out in the end."
PADDY: "Oh! I thought Peter was picking that flower for Rosie because she is his Princess!"
SCOUT: "Yes, we thought so too!"
ROSIE: "And then Peter became very upset because he thought that we wouldn't love him any more!"
PADDY: "Oh no!" *Puts paw to mouth in concern.* "But we all love Peter!"
DADDY: "Of course we love Peter, Paddy. He is such a kind, caring and loving bear! I am so grateful to him for caring about my well being."
SCOUT: "And Peter is mijn beste vriend, and will always be mijn allerbeste vriend FOREVER because he is so much fun to be with and loves me so much!"
ROSIE: "And I cannot imagine my life without mijn prins Peter, who makes me smile every day. He doesn't have to give me a flower, because he gives me something far more precious - his love, and that is worth more than diamonds."
SCOUT: "Or emeralds, or pearls, or sapphires or..."
PADDY: "I think we get the idea, Scout."
DADDY: "So, to make sure that Peter knows that we all love him, Scout, Rosie and I have all been making a paper heart each, and writing a message for Peter on it. We love him so much."
PADDY: "What a good idea, Daddy! Is there enough paper that I can write one for Oleg?"
DADDY: "Why of course there is! You use this heart shaped biscuit cutter to draw the heart and I'll cut it out for you. Then you can write your message for Oleg.*
PADDY: "Oh thank you Daddy!"
PADDY, SCOUT, ROSIE and DADDY *All finish their hearts with messages on them.*
DADDY: "Now, hold up your hearts everybear, and I'll take a photo. Now say 'grumbly tummies'!"
PADDY, SCOUT and ROSIE: "Grumbly tummies!"
DADDY: *Takes photo as camera goes click and whirr.*
My bears Paddy and Scout have made very good friends with two bears in Holland called Peter and Oleg (www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577154558...) and their Mummy (www.flickr.com/photos/66094586@N06/) . Peter and Scout are very similar and have become best friends. Peter loves Rosie and Rosie loves Peter, so they have become prince and princess to one another. Paddy and Oleg are very similar too and have become best friends as well. Sadly, I have had a recent change in circumstances which has had me under a great deal of pressure, leaving me barely able to sleep or eat, but thankfully, after nearly three weeks, things have come right again, and I am back to a more even keel and not so stressed as I was. I've lost quite a bit of weight, but not in the right way! Anyway, Peter kindly picked me a flower which you can see here www.flickr.com/photos/66094586@N06/52904598862/in/gallery... or in the first comment below, and then because Scout and Rosie mistook who it was for, Peter became very upset as you can see here www.flickr.com/photos/66094586@N06/52906977594/in/gallery... or in the first comment below.
We don't want Peter to be upset because we all love him so much. We want him to be happy! We hope that our present of these hearts will make him feel better and happy. Rosie is right, Peter's love is more precious than any flower or jewel, because it comes from the heart!
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.
Rosie is Scout's cousin, because like Scout, she is a free trade knitted bear from Africa. She was made in Kenya by one of the Kenana Knitters, Martha Wanjira. She is made from home spun and dyed wool. She was a gift to me from two very dear friends, includng the one who gave Scout to Paddy.
