The Paddington Closet Today we're celebrating our most esteemed guest of honor at the  Teddy Bear and Friends Picnic -- Paddington! This October marks 50 years since A Bear Called Paddington, by Michael Bond, was first published by William Collins & Sons in 1958. Paddington has certainly done well for himself since then, with a total...

...human makes my skin crawl a bit a bit of internalized anthropophobia tonight was the last night of the bird meds i am glad tomorrow we will find if dubbins is better i am worried tomorrow is also paddington's grooming appointment i moved it to tomorrow so purpleglitter could drive because i had a not-broken toe a strain would have stopped me to so either way tomorrow which might be today...

...to a Tesco just up the street and bought things to make ourselves a lunch.  And guess what!  They, too, sold Krispy Kremes!  Hubby suggested I get myself some, but I was going to get some at Paddington.  He reminded me we might be rushed for time, but I decided to wait.  We went back to the hotel, made our lunches, finished packing and vacated the room.  We left our bag at the Left Luggage and...

It rained and rained and rained on Wednesday.  We took the train to London, and everyone took us to the station to see us off.  It was late, but not too bad.  We all got a bit damp, though. At Paddington we noticed there is a Krispy Kremes store.  Krispy Kremes were nothing special when I was growing up.  When we went to LA six years ago, though, we noticed one and the huge queue.  We mentioned it...

  Happy Birthday to Paddington Bear! He's fifty today. I've just been up at the local school having a teddy bears' picnic...complete with marmalade sandwiches! All the kids are too young to enjoy the full-length books really, and I'm beginning to think Paddington's style is a little outdated for the younger generation anyway, but hopefully one or two of them will pick them up when they're older and...

I always pop by the children's section when I go to the library. Was really happy to stumble upon Paddington! I think Paddington gave me my very first impressions of London. 每次去图书馆，一定要到儿童部看看。这本"Paddington"是最近才借到的书，发现它时真的好高兴！我对伦敦最初的印象，应该都是出自这本书。

 I got the new Paddington Bear book today! It's been written by Michael Bond to celebrate Paddington's 50th birthday. I had just started a Dickensian tome, but now I'm tempted to defer to read about everyone's favourite illegal immigrant. I found out that my (24 year-old) brother has recently been listening to Paddington on audio CD on his way to work everyday in the car! I think more supposedly macho...
