Furry Lovely X Mini Memory: The Paddington Legacy

basically I wanna compile these photos

then I realized

wait a minute

I know so little about Paddington Bear

 

hence the previous post

Peruvian Migration X Station Adoption:
A Bear Called Paddington

 

so the Paddington legacy continues on

all over London

I think part and partial is because

the blue and red colour scheme simply fits in

the British identity so nicely

“The Browns' house is a short walk from

the Portobello Road where

his friend, Mr. Gruber owns an antiques shop.”

yeah, there are loads of antique shops right here

Portobellow Antiques Market

 

“Paddington is a familiar face

in the Portobello Road market where

he has gained a reputation for

having a very good eye for a bargain.”

now that it’s the other way round

buyers hunting for good bargain on for him

I think this kinda represent the London scene

raining spring, a little cold

and Paddington is the connecting station

of the airport train and National Railway

where it’s not difficult at all to

find travellers with suitcases,

just like our bear

 

I wish I could have taken more iconic shot

of Paddington street, really

if only I have read up more on the bear

I passed by the street every single day
