What a dumb thing to say.<br />It's the first time I'd seen the actual toys, and am quite surprised how hairy and un Pooh-like Pooh is. E.H. Shepherd's interpretations of the characters are the 'real' ones for me. And Alan Bennett's Eeyore ;-) <br />I don't think Christopher Robin had a very happy life from what I've read. Must have been strange having to live up to a fictional character. . . Also, wasn't A.A. Milne's house bought by Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones in the late sixties?Jon Burgess Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686489273842347796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-35454048274608490682015-09-02T11:03:10.473+01:002015-09-02T11:03:10.473+01:00Yes, there's absolutely a certain age when tee...Yes, there's absolutely a certain age when teenagers reject everything, and then come back to them later. My son decided to throw a lot of his stuff away but luckily for him I rescued most of it and put it up in the loft. Now he's pleased I did that. From what I read, however, it seems Christopher never came to regret casually giving away the toys. I hope Michael Bond owns the original Paddington Bear!

Now, that's what's REALLY gone missing and needed finding! I suspect lots of us need to go through that leaving childhood behind phase before recognising that it is, and should be, always with us. There's a certain age that doesn't watch children's films, and then people come back to it. I went to a screening of the Paddington film last weekend - lots of children, lots of adults without children, lots of elderly, no teenagers. It's a wonderful film. Now, where is the original Paddington bear, I wonder?Pippa Goodharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709422048047155208noreply@blogger.com
