So, the Pop Up Shop has popped back down again, and as I was unpacking the Beasties who didn’t find their new homes this time around, I was hit by a disturbing thought.
Um, where is Explorer Beastie?
OH HOLY MOLY! Did he sneak into someone’s shopping bag and venture off to parts unknown?
Fortunately, a timely delivery of some holiday photos stopped my rising panic in its tracks. He DID stow away in someone’s luggage, and I will be having words with him about that, but luckily for both of us, said luggage belonged to my parents. So I can rest assured that he will be coming home at some point, and he got to enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip to Liverpool. And he really got to see all the sights – here he is looking out over the city, with the Liver Building in the background…
…And he followed this up with a trip to see some of Liverpool’s most famous residents!
The Beatles theme continued, with a visit to Penny Lane…
…And then he headed off to the Japanese Garden at the Festival Gardens.
It’s lucky he didn’t send me this picture first, or I wouldn’t have known where to find him!
Last I heard, he was planning to see what the surrounding countryside had to offer… so I suppose I’ll be sharing those photos next time around! Stay tuned…
