PADDY: "Look Scout! Look Cabbage! Brightly coloured Easter eggs everywhere!"
SCOUT: "This means you and Cousin Paddington were right, Paddy! The Easter Bunny has been, in spite of the nasty virus."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "See, we told you Scout. No nasty virus is going to keep the Easter Bunny from delivering Easter Eggs to good little boys and girls and bears around the world!"
PADDY: "How wonderful. Let's go on an Easter Egg Hunt in the garden and collect as many Easter eggs as we can! Daddy, can you please hold a basket for us to put all these Easter eggs in?"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "What a capital idea, Paddy!"
SCOUT: "Grumbly tummy Paddy! Grumbly tummy Daddy!"
*Cabbage barks and wags his tail.*
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.
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.
SCOUT: "Paddy! Cousin Paddington! Paddy it's time to play hide... oooh! Paddy! I remember these." *sniffs the air deeply* "They are hot cross buns."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Just as delicious as sticky buns, Scout."
SCOUT: "Oooh! Yes Cousin Paddington"
PADDY: "Daddy must have found us our special Easter treat for breakfast today."
SCOUT: "They smell yummy. I think I'm having an attack of the grumbly tummies Paddy." *Rubs tummy vigorously* "Let's eat them."
PADDY, SCOUT and COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Grumbly tummies Daddy! Grumbly tummies!" *Rub tummies vigorously.*

PADDY: "I don't think you need to feel sad for all the bears, little boys and girls around the world, Scout."
SCOUT: "But Paddy, what if the Easter Bunny can't deliver Easter eggs because of the nasty virus, Paddy? Then bears and little boys and girls around the world will be so disappointed!" *Sniffs and wipes eyes with paw.*
PADDY: "Well if you look in the book here Scout, you'll see that just when Mother Cottontail was at her lowest and had hurt her paw, kind Grandfather Bunny gave her a pair of little gold shoes and made her his special Gold Shoe Easter Bunny."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "And look, Scout! They made her paw feel better and she flew with the help of the shoes to deliver the Easter Egg she had to a very special little boy."
SCOUT: "Ooohhh!" *Looks at book and smiles.*
PADDY: "So I don't think you need to worry about the Easter Bunny delivering Easter Eggs on Easter Sunday. I think you'll find that it takes much more than a nasty virus to keep the Easter Bunny down!"
SCOUT: "Oh I hope you are right Paddy!"
PADDY: "Of course I'm right Scout. Now why don't Cousin Paddington and I sit here with you and we can finish the story together."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "That sounds like a capital idea, Paddy."
SCOUT: "Oh yes please! I'd like that very much!" *Smiles happily.*
PADDY: "And after we've finished the story, we'll see if we can find some left over jam fancies to have with your cup of tea."
SCOUT: "Oh I like that idea very much too, Paddy! Grumby tummy Paddy! Grumbly tummy Cousin Paddington!" *Rubs tummy vigorously,*
First Published in 1939, "The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes" by Du Bose Heyward and illustrated delightfully by Marjorie Flack was one of the delights I had as a child at Easter time. I was read and re-read, and then when old enough read and re-read for myself the story of Mother Cottontail, who so longed to be an Easter Bunny, and how she succeeded with the assistance of a pair of little gold shoes. If you have never had the pleasure of reading it, I thoroughly encourage you to do so, no matter how old you are. It will lift your spirits high, and remind you of the importance of being wise, kind and brave. If you have children who have never heard or read it, do them and yourselves a favour and read it to them this Easter.
Scout's little tea cup and saucer has the old nursery rhyme "I Saw a Ship a Sailing" on it. It is part of a beautiful nursery tea set made by the Shell China company in the 1910s. It features six cups, saucers as well as a teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl, all gilt and featuring different nursery rhymes including: "See Saw Margery Daw", "Jack and Jill", "This Little Pig Went to Market", "Taffy ws a Welshman", "Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross", "Little Jack Horner", "Old Mother Goose" and "I Saw a Ship a Sailing" amongst others. It is the prequel set to the Shell China nursery rhyme and faerie tale tea sets I have from the 1920s and 1930s. The designs are very Edwardian and the set is made up of smaller pieces.

Not long ago, I had a picture of a bush with a medical mask here. I drove by this place yesterday and noticed that Easter eggs with masks have been added to the display.
PADDY: "Hullo Scout! It's good to see you reading."
SCOUT: *Looks up with tears in eyes.* "I don't think I like what is happening in this story, Paddy." *Sniffs and wipes eyes with paw.*
PADDY: "Oh don't cry, Scout! There's no need for tears."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Yes, don't cry, little Scout! I'm sure I have a clean handkerchief here in my case." *Hands Scout a clean handkerchief.*
PADDY: "Whatever are you reading that it makes you upset, Scout?"
SCOUT: *Sniffs and dabs eyes.* "It's the story of the Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes, Paddy." *Sniffs.*
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "I know that story, Scout. Why does it make you so sad?"
SCOUT: "Well look Cousin Paddington and Paddy! Poor Mother Cottontail can't deliver the egg she has because she has hurt her paw. I'm sad for her and for all the bears, boys and girls in the world."
PADDY: "Why Scout?"
SCOUT: "Because what if the Easter Bunny can't deliver Easter eggs because of the nasty virus, Paddy? Then bears and little boys and girls around the world will be so disappointed!"

And where is Jesus, this strange Easter day?
Not lost in our locked churches, anymore
Than he was sealed in that dark sepulchre.
The locks are loosed; the stone is rolled away,
And he is up and risen, long before,
Alive, at large, and making his strong way
Into the world he gave his life to save,
No need to seek him in his empty grave.
He might have been a wafer in the hands
Of priests this day, or music from the lips
Of red-robed choristers, instead he slips
Away from church, shakes off our linen bands
To don his apron with a nurse: he grips
And lifts a stretcher, soothes with gentle hands
The frail flesh of the dying, gives them hope,
Breathes with the breathless, lends them strength to cope.
On Thursday we applauded, for he came
And served us in a thousand names and faces
Mopping our sickroom floors and catching traces
Of that corona which was death to him:
Good Friday happened in a thousand places
Where Jesus held the helpless, died with them
That they might share his Easter in their need,
Now they are risen with him, risen indeed.
So Easter is this weekend. And in RL, it will be different. But ... we shall overcome. And... I'll have some Easter fun photos here, too! This is the first set. This one is for my daily photo!

SCOUT: "Look what I found Paddy!"
PADDY: "Goodness! Half an Easter egg full of little freckles! It's nearly as big as you Scout!"
SCOUT: "Grumbly tummy Paddy." *Rubs tummy vigorously*
PADDY: "Well then these must be yours Scout."
SCOUT: "But what about you Paddy? And you Cousin Paddington? And Cabbage? I have this egg full of eggs. What will you eat?"
*Cabbage whimpers and looks with concern at Paddy.*
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "The Easter Egg hunt has only just started Scout! I'm sure there will be many more Easter treasures for us to find!"

Grumbly tummy Daddy!" *Rubs tummy vigorously again to prove how grumbly his tummy is.* "Now what Paddy and Cousin Paddington?"

COUSIN PADDINGTON: "My idea is that if there were some in the other rose pot, there might be some in this one."
PADDY: "That's a very good thought Cousin Paddington."
SCOUT: "Why don't you climb up and see."
CABBAGE: "Whimper... whimper. Snuffle. Bark!"
SCOUT: "Did you find any?"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Yes Scout! At least five!"

COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Goodness Paddy and Scout! What on earth is that?"
*Cabbage barks and growls.*
PADDY: "Oh there is no need to be afraid Cousin Paddington! This is an Easter Bilby."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "What's that?"
PADDY: "It's an indigenous Australian animal, not unlike a rabbit."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Is it the Easter Bunny?"
PADDY: "No, but it must have been left by him. He's an Easter treat for us."
SCOUT: "I was scared of him last year, Cousin Paddington.
However there is nothing at all to be afraid of!"
COUSIN PADDINGTON:
"Shall we give him to Cabbage?"
*Cabbage barks and wags his tail.*

PADDY, SCOUT and COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Oh thank you Daddy!"

Social distancing restrictions in the UK to "stay at home - protect the NHS - save lives" during the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic meant that children had to find activities that they could play at home at Easter and throughout the 'lockdown'.
PADDY: "If Scout can be a tenacious bear, then so can I!" *Climbs rose bush.*
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Be careful Paddy!"
*Cabbage whimpers.*
SCOUT: "Did you find any Easter Eggs, Paddy?"
PADDY: "Yes! I found the three last ones!"
SCOUT: "Please bring them down Paddy, and we will add them to our huge collection."
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.
