Bea grew up in the heart of Paddington, where she learned that patience was the secret to solving even the trickiest puzzles and keeping harmony in busy places. She met Barnaby during the village’s first trade fair, when she helped him label his chaotic jars of jam with a gentle smile and steady paw. Together, they’ve run the village shop ever since, offering wisdom, warmth, and a sense of order to all who visit. Bea’s patience makes her a trusted guide for young learners and a reassuring presence for weary travellers.
