First time after a long time apart. Francis was only gone for a few months, and came back in the middle of the night all muddy and soaked with rain. No way James is going back to sleep or letting him get changed though
Final day for @thefrussygazette and happy 226th birthday Frankie

When did Fitzjames have time to repeatedly annoy Crozier with his stories you ask? Well, you see, the 45/46 winter on Beechy island they spent observing magnetic readings in a little hut…

In the late 1930s-1940s, Michael Bond, author of Paddington Bear, saw Jewish refugee children (Kindertransport children) passing through Reading Station from London, arriving in Britain escaping from the Nazi horrors of Europe.
Tumblr media
Mr. Bond, touched by what he saw, recalled those memories 20 years later when he began his story of Paddington Bear. One morning in 1958, he was searching for writing inspiration and simply wrote the words: “Mr. and Mrs. Brown first met Paddington on a railway platform…”
“They all had a label round their neck with their name and address on and a little case or package containing all their treasured possessions,” Bond said in an interview with The Telegraph before his death in 2017. “So Paddington, in a sense, was a refugee, and I do think that there’s no sadder sight than refugees.”
Paddington Bear - known for his blue overcoat, bright red hat, and wearing a simple hand-written tag that says “Please look after this bear. Thank you.”
Paddington embodies the appearance of many refugee children. His suitcase is an emblem of his own refugee status.
“We took in some Jewish children who often sat in front of the fire every evening, quietly crying because they had no idea what had happened to their parents, and neither did we at the time. It’s the reason why Paddington arrived with the label around his neck”. -- Michael Bond
Michael Bond died at 91 in 2017. The epitaph on his gravestone reads, "Please look after this bear. Thank you."
Please look after all the young Bears in Ukraine.
