Paddington, Scout and the 2025 Easter Egg Hunt 5.
BENJAMIN: "Hullo Emmett and Edgar!"
EDGAR and EMMETT: "Hullo Benjamin!"
BENJAMIN: "Oh well done, you two! You have two wonderfully full Easter baskets!"
EMMETT: "Yes! We have lots and lots and lots of Easter Eggs to add to the picnic hamper."
EDGAR: "We will have plenty to share with our 'Cuddle Bear Friends' Funky and Nutmeg!"
BENJAMIN: "Oh indeed we will! Whilst you were fetching your baskets of eggs, I found a lovely big pink Easter Egg under an acanthus leaf just over there." *Points paw towards acanthus plant.* "So, I think we will have plenty for everybear to share!"
EMMETT: "Oh hoorah!" *Jumps up and down with joy.* "Funky will never have had such a wonderful Easter! When you think about it, with poor Funky living on the street until Peter spotted him and Mummy Marian rescued him and took him home, he probably had very sad Easters, really."
EDGAR: "Nutmeg too, Emmett. And that is why we must share our wonderful hoarde of Easter Eggs with them!"
BENJAMIN: "I'm sure there will be Easter Eggs for them at Mummy Marian's house too, but you are quite right, Emmett and Edgar: it is only right that we share our Easter Eggs with our very own 'Cuddle Bear Friends' Funky and Nutmeg!"
EMMETT: "They will be so happy!"
EDGAR: "And so surprised!"
BENJAMIN: "I just hope that we can carry this picnic hamper full of Easter Eggs to the magic portal!"
EDGAR: "I'm sure if we all pitch in to help, we can, Benjamin!"
EMMETT: "That's right, Benjamin! I'm going to go and collect a few extra just to make sure the hamper is full!"
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!
Made by Merrythought in England, Emmett is a charming little bear, sweet and smiling, crafted from multi-tonal marl grey mohair and featuring golden velvet paws. He is accessorised with a classic tartan woollen scarf. He is number 23 or a limited worldwide edition of 200.
Handmade at Merrythought in England from warm-gold tousled mohair plush, Edgar is a cheerful companion who has terracotta pure cotton velvet paws, and wears a delightful floral cotton bow tie. He is number 2 of a limited worldwide edition of 200.
Benjamin is made by Merrythought in England too. A friendly character, he has been handmade from soft, caramel-coloured mohair plush featuring a chocolate-coloured base that beautifully complements his pure wool felt paws. He wears a traditional, satin-lined waistcoat made from the finest British tweed and secured with brass studs. He is number 110 of a limited worldwide edition of 150.
The baskets that Emmett and Edgar 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!
