We love Auntie Lucy. Pop in and see us after a chat with her.

Have you seen the newest addition to the Paddington Bear range at Merrythought?

Meet the adorable Aunt Lucy, complete with her lovely gold-rimmed glasses and beautiful beaded necklace.🧡

Made right here in Ironbridge, and just a few minutes’ walk from Ironbridge View Townhouse, she’s sitting in the window waiting for someone to take her home.

Who could resist her? 🧸
