Bedside Bear on an adventure! How wonderful! Will it be the first time that he sees Paris? I will see it vicariously through you and your sweet bear.

He's never been there before, but he has read almost all my Maigret mysteries, so he is VERY excited.

Bedside Bear is such a lucky little bear. Will he be sending postcards home to Duckie?

Radcliffe Bear, my constant traveling companion, sends his best to Bedside Bear, and hopes he sends back lots of photos featuring him seeing the sights, meeting new friends and experiencing all the fun of a new adventure.

PS - Radcliffe adds that many flight crews are delighted to have photos taken of tiny visitors in their workplace :-)

Well, radar is a system for sending out a signal in hopes of receiving a useful response. Like this --

I think that clip also demonstrates something of what keeps planes in the air, too.

Oh, Beatrix Potter! She had to really fight the current and her parents to get out into the world. But her “little bunny book” gave her the means and she had the spirit!

Bon sejour, ma cherie!

So delighted that Bedside Bear (does he ever go by “BB”?) can travel with you as I’ll bet he’s heard all of Duckie’s stories of his own Parisian adventures. Bon Voyage! 🇫🇷🥖☕️

Hope you have a most wonderful visit, and Bear sees all of your most beloved sights with his usual enthusiasm. There is nothing like sharing the splendors of Paris life with a friend!

I figured you would waste no time getting back to Paris once Notre Dame reopened. Wish I could seek refuge in the Gaelic speaking parts of Scotland and Ireland for a month. Enjoy your adventure.💖😌

I used to play cribbage. Had to smile, imagining Duckie and the crows….
