Paddington Bear and a hint at Disney day out.

Hi all,

I hope that you are all having a fab December and that you are all getting into the Christmas spirit (I got into the Baileys hahaha)

I have something a little different I would like to share, not a Disney trip but I did find some Disney in my day in terms of some marvel characters at the O2 Arena in London.

I also got to visit St Pauls Cathedral - A place I have never seen up close, but a big part of my Disney fandom. I did get a look for pointing and saying 'Look Micheal shes there do you see her?' and an even stranger look for singing 'Feed the Birds' (I went on to sing it in my head for about an hour!)

For those who have not heard about this, to celebrate the release of the Paddington Bear Movie, 50 Paddingtons have been designed and placed around London for people to find. I went on a day trip and found 11, I also did a LOT of walking!

Each bear has been designed by somebody famous and the ones we found were great among my favorites:
Dr Who Bear by Peter Capaldi
Sherlock Bear by Benedict Cumberbatch
Gravity Bear by Sandra Bullock
Wish you were here (Nick Mason from Pink floyd)
Parka Bear by Liam Gallgher (Oasis)

It is a shame they are only around until the 30th December as I would love to see some more, but if you want to see the rest google the Paddington Trail to see them all.

So here is a selection of photos from a Non-Disney day with a hint of Disney thrown in laugh

Cool! I read the Paddington books when I was a child. I have a large Paddington plush on my bookcase!
