Paddington, Scout and the Easter Egg Hunt 6.

PADDY: "Look Scout, Bogart and Cousin Paddington! I told you the hunt wasn't over! I found a loveky dark chocolate egg! Isn't it beautiful!"

 

SCOUT: "Yes it is, Paddy and so big! As I have the half egg full of little Easter eggs..."

 

COUSIN PADDINGTON: "And I have a dark chocolate honeycomb egg..."

 

BOGART: "And I have my half egg full of almonds."

 

SCOUT: "This must be for you!"

 

PADDY: "Thank you Easter Bunny! I am going to share my Easter egg with mijn beste vriend Oleg! I know he will enjoy it"

 

COUSIN PADDINGTON: "That is very lovely of you, Paddy! How kind an generous you are!"

 

PADDY: "Godness! Thank you, Cousin Paddington!" *Blushes pink beneath plush fur.*

 

PADDY: "Hullo everyone! On behalf of Scout, Cousin Paddington, Bogart, Jago, Daisy-Maud, Rosie, Cornelia, Orson, Danny Boy, Algie, Flock, Sapphire, Pearl, Prince Maurice, Freddy, Duckie, Daddy and myself I would like to wish all of our Flickr friends and followers a very happy Easter! May the day be filled with lots of fun, laughter and a chocolate Easter egg... or two! We are sending you all lots of special Easter big little bear hugs and snuffly kisses!"

 

Paddy has managed to share my thoughts most eloquently. A very happy Easter to you all!

 

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.

 

Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.

 

Travelling all the way from London, Cousin Paddington was caught in transit thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic, so it looks like he is stopping with us for a long while. That makes me happy, as the more I look into his happy, smiling face, the more attached I am becoming to him.

 

Duckie I saw when I was at a Sunday market on a stall of homemade knitted and crocheted items. She caught my eye straight away with her happy, smiley face and bright colours. I think she finds life with my bears intriguing and perhaps a little confusing, however she is learning.
