Paddington and Scout Hide up a Tree

SCOUT: "Boo!" *Giggles.*

 

PADDY: "Hullo everyone! We can see you, but can you see us?" *Giggles.* "Look up! Here we are!"

 

SCOUT: *Giggles.*

 

PADDY: "Scout and I are hiding in the autumn leaves in this tree."

 

SCOUT: "I think we are excellent at hiding Paddy."

 

PADDY: "I think you are correct Scout!"

 

PADDY and SCOUT: *Giggles more.*

 

SCOUT: "Boo!" *Giggles.* "We surprised you didn't we?"

 

PADDY: "I think we did Scout."

 

SCOUT: "I think you are right Paddy! Let's go hide again!"

 

PADDY and SCOUT: *Giggle more.*

 

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.

 

Being colder here as autumn is well and truly with us, both Paddy and Scout are wearing hand knitted scarves and Paddy is wearing hand knitted hat by Lorna's Lovely Looks. Paddy sports a heart pin and Scout insisted on wearing a pink cupcake one, which seems most appropriate considering his perpetual grumbly tummy. Both were gifts from a good friend who is very fond of both Paddy and Scout.
