I'm considering adopting

 . . . Mr. Jiggs from the London Zoo.  

Do you think he'd clean and organize my drawers and closets too?

Dreadfully sorry.

Dearest Raleigh, Cardon, Lincoln and Cole,

     Mum says I'm to tell you she's dreadfully sorry, but with jet lag and the laundry to be done, not to mention bills to be paid and the lou pump out again . . . well, we're just going to have to wait a little longer for pics from our trip.  She did promise me that next week, she'd hop right on it though.  With pictures from London (including more of me way up in the sky! howdya like that, huh?) plus photos of me riding the Tube, eating pancakes in Amsterdam, museum hopping in Paris and bicycling 'round the French countryside, well, as for me, I'm thinking it'll all be worth the wait after all, don't you think?

Till then, so sorry to disappoint, but what's a bear to do?

Ta ta for now,

Paddington 

p.s.  Oh! And we've also had a fluffy tailed squirrel at the bird feeder, PLUS a nest of baby robins outside Mum's shower window.  I'll be lying in wait with the camera for shots of all this excitement.  It's so good to be home!  Oh, how I wish you were here. -PB
