The world is in mourning with
the passing of our Queen,
her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
A remarkable lady who gave
her life of service to the people.
May she rest in peace, eternally reunited
with her husband, Prince Philip.
You have probably seen the comical skit with
Paddington Bear and the Queen Elizabeth
having tea, during celebrations,
for her 70 yrs of service.

I'm sharing my little story,
hope you enjoy it.
When visiting London during 2018,
we used the underground/metro a lot,
passing Paddington Station.
I had never heard of
Paddington Bear.
On our flight home, the Paddington
movies were playing on the airplane.
My daughter encouraged me
to watch them.
That same year before Christmas;
I usually mail across Canada to my
Grandsons, their Christmas gifts and
include a stuffed animal with it.
I searched for Paddington Bears
and couldn't find any.
We were deep in the Pandemic,
the world had shut-down and
we were limited to services.
So I send substitute bears.
In the mail, Christmas Eve,
I receive this adorable bear from
my niece, Linda in Mississauga.
Such a delight and surprise,
that I could blog about him,
Although I wish it were in happier
times and not the passing of
Her Majesty, our Queen.

Paddington is a live action
animated film. (fairy tale)
The story of a Peruvian bear
who arrived in London on
a cargo ship and finds himself
lost in Paddington Station and the
bear is taken home by a British family
and given the name Paddington Bear,
after the Paddington Station.
He experiences a lot of misadventures,
trying to avoid a museum taxidermist.
A movie enjoyed by children and adults.

With a heavy heart we say our
final farewell and thank you to
our Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
I also want to wish our new king,
King Charles III
best wishes as starts his reign.
Long live the King.
Thanks for your visit.
