My beautiful little bear!

We have had a very good day of sorting through a lot of the 'stuff' we have had in the loft.  A good load will be taken off to charity shops tomorrow and although there's still a lot to go through, we've made a good start.

Paddington Bear is not going off to the charity shops however!  Mr Sk noticed his boots needed cleaning so he was taken down from the ledge above our bed to have them washed.  I suddenly realised I was in need of a blip so here's a quick shot of him before he goes back up to join the other teddies, dolls, rabbits, hedgehogs, seals, lambs, koalas - you name it - which also live on the ledge!  My mother gave Paddington to me for Christmas 1976 and, as instructed on the label, I have looked after him ever since!
