Paddington, Scout and the 2025 Easter Egg Hunt 9.
ROSIE: *Groans, pushes and shoves a large Easter Egg across the lawn.* "Look Scout! I found a lovely big Pink Easter Egg! It's so big there will be plenty to share with mijn prins Peter!"
SCOUT: "Oh! He will love that, Rosie! That's very kind of you!"
ROSIE: "Well, I love mijn prins Peter, so of course I am going to share my Easter Eggs with him. What are you doing, Scout?"
SCOUT: "I'm collecting more pretty pink Easter Eggs before every other bear collects them. I caught Nanuk trying to snaffle one!"
ROSIE: "I do hope you managed to get it back!"
SCOUT: "I did, Rosie, so don't worry! We can enjoy them later! Pink is my favourite colour you know."
ROSIE: "Mine too, and of course pink Easter Eggs taste the best of all!" Nods emphatically. "Now that I've found my Easter Egg, I'll help you! I see you found a pretty pale pink Easter Egg!"
SCOUT: "I did, Rosie! I am going to share it with mijn allerbeste vriend Peter too, and also with sweet Aurora!"
ROSIE: "Oh they will love that, Scout! How kind and generous you are!"
SCOUT: "We will have soooo many pretty pink Easter Eggs between us that we will have plenty for after Easter too!"
ROSIE: "Oh yes, Scout! Now let's keep looking for more pink Easter Eggs!"
SCOUT: "I think I see some over there, Rosie! Let's go!"
ROSIE and SCOUT: *Run across the lawn with Easter baskets, looking for pink Easter eggs.*
PADDY: "Hullo everyone and everybear! On behalf of Scout, Cousin Paddington, Bogart, Jago, Daisy-Maud, Rosie, Cornelia, Orson, Danny Boy, Algie, Bertie, Nanuk, Emmett, Edgar, Benjamin, 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!
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, including the one who gave Scout to Paddy.
The baskets that Scout and Rosie are using are vintage 1950s thick paper examples which I acquired not long after Easter 2024. The body of the basket is all one piece that is folded together and slipped through cuts at the side. The handle is a separate piece that fits through slits at either end. I love their cute printed characters!
