Paddington, Scout and Jago Take Daisy-Maud Shopping

            PADDY:  "Come on Scout!"

SCOUT:  "Where are we going, Paddy?"  *Excited.*

PADDY:  "Jago and I are taking Daisy-Maud shopping so that she knows where to go when she wants some marmalade or some jam for her toast at breakfast time and there is none in Daddy's pantry."

JAGO:  "You can show Daisy-Maud which shelves the best and yummiest food is on, Scout." 

SCOUT:  "Oh goody!"  *Jumps up and down, then pauses and looks over shoulder, but sees nothing and turns back to Paddy, Jago and Daisy Maud.*  "I love to go shopping, Daisy-Maud!  It's sooooo much fun!  May I please bring Dolly, Paddy?"  *Cuddles Dolly.*

PADDY:  "Of course you can, Scout."

SCOUT:  "Oh goody!"  *Pauses and looks over shoulder again, but still sees nothing, so shrugs and turns back to Paddy, Jago and Daisy-Maud.  "May I ride in your shopping jeep, Paddy?"

PADDY:  "No Scout!  Where do I put the shopping on the way home?"

SCOUT:  "I can sit on the top of them."  *Pauses and looks over shoulder yet again, but still sees nothing, so shrugs and turns back to Paddy, Jago and Daisy-Maud.  "If we buy tomatoes for Daddy they will be very comfortable for my little bottom to sit on."

PADDY:  "No, Scout!"  *Definite.*  "You can walk like the rest of us."  

SCOUT:  "Oh, alright!"  *Disappointed.*

DAISY-MAUD:  *Kindly.*  "I hear you know all the nice shopkeepers, Scout."

SCOUT:  "Oh yes, I do Daisy-Maud!  I always stop to say hullo to them, even if we don't buy anything from them."  

DAISY-MAUD:  "Will you hold my paw, Scout?  I need someone smart to show me the way."

SCOUT:  "Of course I will, Daisy-Maud.  Do you like to skip?  I love to skip!"  *Pauses and looks over shoulder yet again, but still sees nothing.*

DAISY-MAUD:  "Oh yes I do, Scout.  We can skip together.  But we must look forwards and not backwards."

JAGO:  "Yes Scout, why do you keep looking behind you?"

SCOUT:  *Sighs and looks down.*  "You won't believe me, Jago.  Nobear believes me."

JAGO:  "Try me, Scout.  I'm game."

SCOUT:  "Paddy doesn't believe me!"  *Glares at Paddy.*  "He thinks I have an overactive imagination!"

PADDY:  "Well, you do, Scout, and that isn't a bad thing.  Imaginary games are very fun with you because of your imaginative personality."

JAGO:  "What do you think Scout is imagining, Paddy?"

PADDY:  "Scout thinks someone is watching him."

SCOUT:  "Someone is!"  *Stomps paw.*  "I can feel it!  I just can't see who it is!  I have been feeling it for a week now, and nobear believes me!"  *Sulks.*

DAISY-MAUD:  "I believe you, Scout."

SCOUT:  "You do, Daisy-Maud?"  *Hopeful.*

JAGO:  "I do too, Scout."

SCOUT:  "You do, Jago?"  *More hopeful.*

JAGO:  "Yes, I can see the birds here in the garden are watching us.  Look there is a new fledgling blackbird watching us right now!"  *Points across lawn to blackbird.*

SCOUT:  "Oh!  I didn't think of that.  It doesn't really feel like a bird kind of stare, though."

DAISY-MAUD:  "Well, never mind, Scout."  *Kindly.*  "Perhaps there are other birds watching us from the bushes and the trees.  Daddy's garden is so full of beautiful birds that sing so sweetly."  *Holds out paw.*  "Come, let's go skip to the shops."

SCOUT:  "Alright Daisy-Maud!  Let's go!"

Paddy's shopping jeep is beautifully made by Olli Ella and is called a 'Mini Luggy'.  It is made by hand of natural and sustainably sourced materials.  

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.

Jago was a gift from a dear friend in England.  He is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes.  He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him.  He is already fitting in with everyone else very nicely.

Daisy Maud is Jago's little sister and was made by the same friend in England who made him.  She is made of German mohair with floral fabric cotton paw pads that match her pretty sunhat, and glass eyes.  A sweet and loving little girl bear, she is happy to be reunited with her big brother, Jago, and enjoys being spoiled by her new Daddy.
