Shaun in the city

Everything is possible in London's Spring, even if the weather is a little bit cold. The stress, tourists and pedestrians have to share the city now with the sheeps that came back to the capital for graze. 

From the 28th of March until the 25th of May, London is being taken by 50 giant sculptures of Shaun the Sheep. The animated character, created by Nick Park, is the protagonist of the main public art trail, taking place this year, and all the statues are grazing in green parks and important landmarks. 

Unfortunately, he came alone and his friends Bitzer, the Flock, the Farmer, the Naughty Pigs, Pidsley and Timmy and his mother couldn't walk with him.

Paddington Goes to Town

It was 58 years ago when Michael Bond bought a bear, as a present for his wife, at Selfridges. At this time nobody knew it but on that Christmas Eve, on 1956, Paddington was born.

The teddy bear was the source of inspiration for Bond. In only ten days, he wrote the first book in which Paddington, named after Paddington station, was the main character. On the 13th of October of 1958 A Bear Called Paddington was published.

Nowadays, Paddy has become a classic member on children's literature and Bond's books have been translated into more than 30 different languages.

Next Friday, 28th of November, Paddington will be brought to the big screen. The film, by the director Paul King, is the perfect movie to enjoy this Christmas with the entire family.
