Here's what has happened so far. Edward Bongo, who generally passed the time of day on a shelf in the storeroom at Bongo Mission Control, accidently mailed himself to Alison's London address but as Alison wasn't in, he had to spend 2 days at the local sorting office until he was rescued.

He has started keeping a daily diary of his adventures, and Alison will produce some illustrations and photo evidence to accompany his literary efforts. It will be quite fascinating to see where he ends up next.
Is there anyone out there who would be willing to look after him for a few weeks and help him write his diary?
