DADDY: “Would you like some tea, Paddington?”
PADDINGTON: “Yes please, Daddy!”
DADDY: “Milk?”
PADDINGTON: “Yes please, Daddy! Just a slosh.”
DADDY: “One lump or two?”
PADDINGTON: “Two please, Daddy!”
DADDY: “Very good, Paddington darling.”
PADDINGTON: “And a sticky bun, please Daddy!”
DADDY: “Alright Paddington.”
PADDINGTON: “And some macarons, if you can manage it Daddy!”
DADDY: “Well I…”
PADDINGTON: “And a marmalade sandwich or twenty, please Daddy!”
DADDY: “Twenty, Paddington darling?”
PADDINGTON: “I have a grumbly tummy, Daddy!” *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 30th of November is "coffee or tea". Being British and a traditionalist, I prefer tea to coffee, and I am not the only one in my household who is partial to a cup of tea, or two, or twenty. My Paddington Bear also enjoys a cup of tea for elevenses on any given day of the week. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Beautifully hand made by Merrythought in their historic Ironbridge factory, and based on the famous original drawings by Peggy Fortnum of Michael Bond's famous bear, the Paddington - Classic Edition is British-made (of course) and is truly timeless and designed to bring a lifetime of joy and companionship. Paddington combines the finest natural materials with four generations of the very best British teddy bear making expertise. His detailed design and expressive features give him a personality that you cannot help but fall in love with, and he will become a loyal lifelong companion - always by your side during the ups and downs of life, and a friend to make memories with! Made from woven mohair plush and soft cotton velvet, this Paddington is dressed in a pure red woollen felt hat and blue duffle coat with wooden toggle detailing. He is brought to life by a neatly hand-stitched nose and warm smile.
Made in a special numbered edition, I am fortunate enough to have number 17.
"Please look after this bear. Thank you."
The teacup I hold is one from a tea set for six complete with six trios, a milk jug sugar bowl and a cake plate. It looks remarkably contemporary in shape and style, yet it is actually from 1911. Produced by British pottery maker, Royal Doulton, this cup is made of translucent china so fine that you can see your hand’s shadow through it when held to the light. It bears a stylised Art Nouveau lily design painted by the most famous of Doulton’s freelance decorators, Robert Allen. To cope with their enormous output, Doulton used both in-house and freelance designers and painters, and in some cases these decorators also added pattern numbers to the wares. The best known is Robert Allen who added an ‘Ra’ number to wares decorated for Doulton in his design studio.
After the sun had set in Hasliberg, the clouds above this mountain still were lit a bit. It gave the whole scene a subdued feeling with the pastel colors. As it was already quite dark, I had to push the iso rather high. To compensate I took 6 photos and averaged them in photoshop go reduce the noise. I took this photo on my Sony A6300 and a Sony 55-210 mm, f/4.5-6.3 at 210 mm, f/6.3 1/125 s, ISO 1600.
Some inspiration for my shot of the day from Macro Mondays this week. Always fun to fill a frame with food and rainbow coloured sour straps seemed like a good subject. My kids will be happy with this purchase.
Sounds like a perfect excuse to shoot the pack of Impossible B&W film I've had lying in the fridge for like two years.
The sunsets have been eluding me lately. Finally I got some clouds to cooperate and give me a fine ending to the day.
just waiting in heaven. Someone passing, going back to the purgatory, as nothing is really happening here.

Recently one of my friends made a joke, saying that I am The River Thames' personal photographer. Basically he was eluding to the fact that the vast majority of my snaps include the Thames... and upon further inspection by myself, I realised this is true! So, for a change here is a London Scene without the Thames. In view is St Mary Axe (or the Gerkin) and some London buses zooming by on their daily business of picking people up.
I went for sunset and happy I did. Although you can't see much of the sunset (at least not as much as you would near the river), the sky was a gentle orange and pink hue. It was a freezing evening. But happy I ventured out :)

...Some day you came
and I knew you were the one
You were the rain, you were the sun
but I needed both, cause I needed you
You were the one
I was dreaming of all my life
When it is dark you are my light
But don't forget
Who's always our guide
It is the child in us
