Reassuring words

I refer not to anything that might be coming from 11 Downing Street but to Michael Bond, the creator of Paddington Bear.

After wild rumours that Paddington has stopped eating Marmalade in favour of Marmite, Mr Bond has had to deliver a reassuring statement promising that Paddington has not deserted the orange sandwich filling. According to the BBC website he stated "It would require a good deal more than the combined current withdrawals from Northern Rock to wean him off marmalade".

I can now sleep soundly again.

I am on holiday for the next couple of days so apologies if there is a gap until the next entry.
