Paddington
Station London
We love Paddington Bear or PB as he is also known. So
much so it could be said that we might have planned our trip to England to just
be there for the release of Paddington 2 in the Cinema’s. But we didn’t, it was
just a lovely blessing and surprise to be there when it was released. And of
course when we stayed in London we had to stay in Paddington. Which is just as
the movies depicts it, it’s very quaint, and not far from Oxford Street and
Bond Street, the shopping district.
So as soon as we got off the plane and out of customs
the first thing we had to do was catch a train from Heathrow Airport to
Paddington Station. When we got to Paddington Station we found a heap of
displays to have photos opportunities with Paddington. It was magical. There
was also a Paddington shop with all his memorabilia, at the station. The
station was just as it was shown in the movies. We did return to this station a
few times sometimes just to spend time surrounded by Paddington and other times
to catch some trains to other destinations around London.
We of course had to see to the new release of Paddington
2 the movie while we were there. They released this collector’s edition pop-up
book. It was so lovely to be part of all this while we were there.
Now our 4 year old Grandson shares in the love for Paddington as well. Not because we encouraged it, but because his Daddy introduced him to the movies, without even knowing our love for Paddington. So in learning this we showed him our pop-up book and he just loves it. He just looks through it over and over again, and even pretends with imaginary characters interacting with Paddington. The first time he saw it, his Auntie Holly came in and he proceeded to tell her all the details that I had pointed out to him in the book and even the details that Poppy and Grandma have been on that ship and that taxi and that bridge and that bus and had to put their umbrellas up so that they didn’t get wet. Our little ones are just like beautiful little sponges take in everything around them.
We are so blessed.
