When's the next train?

I blogged yesterday that I was going to go to the office in a few weeks for an gathering of the whole company. Well, I learned yesterday morning that the even had been cancelled. So I will not be taking the train, going through London to go to work for the first time in month. I'm glad I won't have to stress about the journey, but I'm sad I won't be travelling by train. Maybe my next journey will be for a holiday with my family. That would be more exciting and far more pleasant. (On a side note, I took this picture at Paddington Station during my last train journey in October 2021.)

Paddington Bear

Yesterday was the 50th birthday of the Paddington Bear. I already mentioned Paddington in an entry in French, the animated series was one of the things that made me discover England (and marmelade). You have the first episode in the French blog entry, I am putting the second one here. As of today you can find about episodes on youtube. Paddington is really adorably naïve.

Paddington

Je suis allé à Londres aujourd'hui, avec arrêt obligé à Paddington. J'ai acheté quelques cadeaux reliés à Paddington (l'ours) pour la fête de mon filleul. Je lui enverrai tout par la poste, j'espère qu'il va aimer. Autant lui acheter des cadeaux typiquement anglais et originaux. À son âge, je regardais l'adaptation télévisée de Paddington et je trouvais tant la série que l'ours adorables. Je m'en rappelle assez peu maintenant, à part la musique du générique et la gourmandise de Paddington, surtout son appétit pour la marmelade. Enfin, Paddington a été pour moi l'un de mes premiers contacts avec la culture britannique.

Enfin, je vous offre le premier épisode des aventures de Paddington (in English):
