Imagine my distress when I received your message to learn that after all your travels and efforts I was nowhere to be found. As you can see from this email that I am now back and deeply saddened that I missed the opportunity to have new adventures and a travel to distant lands. However all is not lost for I am not a bear known for sitting around and sulking but am a bear of action. I shall stow away aboard a plane and make my way to 17 Woodside Close in Storrington, West Sussex where I hope to find you and entertain your grandchildren with tales of my travels. Please accept my humble apologies for being absent during your visit, hopefully I will be able to make this up to you when I arrive in the near future. Kind regards, George Bear
