My mother bundled my brother and me into her minivan for a day out on Wimbledon Common just before Christmas Day, right in the middle of the 1960s. Giddy with fresh air, we ran down the hill to the Queensmere lake and I shouted excitedly: 'Isn't it marvellous on Wombledon Common!' 'That's it,' screamed my mother, who screamed. 'Wombles!' Elisabeth Beresford (left and right with ex-husband Max and her children Kate and Marcus), also known as Liza, was struggling for money due to my father's manic spending sprees. She was writing children's books to pay the bills, but her publisher had casually advised her to 'find the answer to the Paddington series.' All the inspiration she needed was my spoonerism, mumbling up the words of our 1,000-acre playground in South London. I'll have a wonderful time in the morning up on Wimbledon Common, and I suspect I'll invent a new race called the Wombles,' inset. They're in my head, rather like tubby little bats - there's something there.'
