Great drama averted tonight: polar bear had gone awol! Turned the flat upside down to no avail, and after a round of “I didn’t carry it, did you carry it?” Katy and granddad went to retrace their steps from the walk they had coming back from Bean’s school. Turns out that the very kindly ice cream man they stopped at to get ice cream had perched him on top of the stacked chairs next to his closed up kiosk. We’ll get Bean to draw him a thank you picture.
