Dog Meets Bear In Primrose Hill

Everywhere you go in London at the moment, you're confronted with a statue of Paddington Bear! It's a promotion for the forthcoming movie, and apparently, the bears will be auctioned off for good causes sometime next year.

This one was 'customised' by Julie Walters, with Paddington duly clad in a primrose coat. It's a tactile piece of art, pleasingly velvet to the touch.

And the dog?

He belongs to me! (Or I belong to him, depending on the perspective.) His name is Scrabble, and here he is, delighted to have found a new lamp post - or at least that's how he treats poor Paddington - when he's patrolling the park.
