pickPub date 1958. Never read it before now. Adorable. Truth be told, I read it bc Hobonichi has a Paddington collection and I was curious about the book. And a fun finding was the author has my birthday!! He passed in 2017 at a ripe old age of 91. So happy I finally read it!
I think I was possessed by the spirit of Paddington yesterday when I did my post work grocery run in a pain haze…
Anyway. I‘m no closer to deciding what to have for dinner - but I have to be at work in an hour - so that‘s fun! (And then I have two days off!)
The Paddington Bear 🐻 Picture Book is from #Foyles and is my present for my first niece/nephew next spring. I got the cat pin today at #waterstones, the Glossier lipstick 💄 is called „Portrait“ and the rest is from The National Gallery & state Britain. Yeah! Not included are my Christmas presents from Harrods & Selfridges from my parents.
At Paddington Station Platform 1, you can say hello to everyone‘s favourite literature bear 🐻!

I'm far behind so here's a mega-post for the second half of the year.
July was the toughest month to choose because a couple other books were good. The Traveling Cat Chronicles made be ugly cry.
A Bear Called Paddington might be the best book I read this year.
Madam wins December only because I felt underwhelmed by all of the ones I read.
pickPaddington is an absolute lovable, funny bear. I enjoyed reading about this marmalade-loving bear and his mishaps. Stories that put a smile on my face.. from his pleasant manners to his ‘hard stares‘. And great to read about such kindness and goodness from the Brown family and the villagers. These are the kind of stories I know I would love if I‘ve read them when I was a child.

pickI haven‘t been making much progress on audiobooks lately, but I thought a short listen might be good change of pace for today. I listened to this first Padington book while I worked on a few things this morning and took the dogs (my sister‘s & my own) for a walk. It was a wonderfully entertaining and heartwarming story.
