I had not previously really noticed this growing collection of florist's bouquet wrapping. My wife likes to save them - her odd habit has allowed my odd photographic habit an ideal subject to test out a "new" ancient lens.
PADDY: "Thank you very much for my wonderful hand-made birthday card and thoughtful presents! I love them, and feel very special and very spoiled. This makes it a very special birthday indeed!"
SCOUT: "Can we eat one of these chocolate teddy bear lollipops now Paddy? Grumbly tummy Paddy! Grumbly tummy Daddy!" *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
PADDY: "Hullo everyone! Do you know what? Bears have two birthdays. Do you know what else? Today is one of my birthdays! And do you know what else? Today is my Daddy's birthday too! Isn't that a wonderful coincidence!"
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 is a recent addition to our little family. He 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.
Day 11 for the 25 Days of Christmas theme.
This was taken on Christmas Eve of our tree last year - yes those are all presents under & around the tree. LOL!!
We are having a time with the lights on our tree this year and havent been able to decorate it yet - grrrrrrrr.
HDR used on this. Thought it made an interesting effect on the tree. :)
What is it?
Since joining Flickr a few years back and even more recently, since starting my 365 project, I have developed so many really special contacts and friendships.
I'm so very grateful for the wonderful and often detailed comments I receive from so many of you, each and every day. You are all responsible for putting a smile on my face every day!
One of the things that has touched me most are the wonderful endearments I have received from so many of you, with regard to my 'red project. The messages, thoughts of red (and of myself), as you go about your day, and the dedicated and inspired images and posts, all of which I am so very grateful for, and so delighted by each and every time.
The other day I received a message from one of my dear Flickr friends. I would love to mention her name here, but she may prefer to remain annoymous . . . but my wonderful friend you know who you are :)
While out shopping with her husband recently, they had come across something and thought of me straight away and said 'I simply must have it' . . . I was so incredibly touched. Just the message alone made my day and has made me smile ever since.
Not only that, but to think that someone I have never personally met was thinking of me and thought enough of me to actually purchase the item and send it to me. Such a beautiful thought and even more beautiful gesture :)
When I told the story to a friend the other day she was absolutely blown away . . . she said she loved hearing stories like this one because it resorted her faith in the world and human kind.
This special gift arrived via snail mail today . . . wrapped beautifully in red! It just had to be my photo of the day. Thank you so much my dear Flickr friend . . . beautiful people with big and beautiful hearts.
Now for what is it . . . well for the answer to that, you will have to tune in tomorrow folks!
Speaking of hearts . . . my heart and thoughts go out to Kat tonight too as she faces an extremely tough day tomorrow. Sending lots of big hugs your way Kat. You are in my heart and my thoughts :)
Apologies also if I didn't get to your stream today . . . it's 12.28am as I write this so will catch up tomorrow and over the weekend :)

It was my birthday yesterday, and one of my presents came in a reflective foil wrapping paper, which gave some very nice bokeh effects, will definitely go in my big box of photography odds-and-sods for use at a later date.

"I'm gonna wrap myself in paper
I'm gonna daub myself with glue
Stick some stamps on the top of my head
I'm gonna mail myself to you
I'm gonna tie me in a little red string
I'm gonna tie blue ribbons too
Climb up into my mailbox
I'm gonna mail myself to you
When you find me in your mailbox
Cut the string and let me out
Wash the glue off of my fingers
Stick some bubble gum in my mouth
Take me out of my wrapping paper
Wash the stamps off of my head
Pour me full of some ice cream soda
Tuck me into a nice warm bed"

This post came about all because I needed a *box* to mail some very old diaries from a Great Great Aunt up to my sister
in New Hampshire.
When I went searching in the garage, I came across the most wonderfully sturdy container which was perfect for my purpose! Attached to the outside were these fabulous stamps which I couldn't bare to remove, so carefully covered them in cellophane and added another layer of removable stock so my sister could have an added surprise on the outside as well as on the inside!
I especially love that I was able to repurpose the box in such a fun way, and that it had originally come to me from a dear flickr friend!
SCOUT: "WOW! Look! It's a beautiful beret! How wonderful! I feel so special!"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "So you should Scout! It's your birthday!"
PADDY: "Look at the beautiful houndstooth it is made from and the pretty golden button on the top! It has a crest on it! You will feel very regal when you wear it!"
SCOUT: "Oh I will!" *Blushes pink beneath woollen plush.* "Thank you so much Paddy! Thank you so much Daddy!"
PADDY and DADDY: "You are very welcome birthday bear Scout!"

Cousin Paddington is a recent visitor to our family. Travelling all the way from London, he was caught in transit thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic, so it looks like he is stopping with us for a while. The more I look into his happy, smiling face, the more attached I am becoming to him.
Impressions of some of London's most beautiful structures made into a basic pattern. This is my first attempt at making a pattern...seems like quite an interesting topic....oh and as you can see I'm back to good old drawing! :)
