I am very excited as my friend Podge, (who is a tiger from Great Harwood), and I are exploring the world, starting with Guildford. We got a lift from Edinburgh with Aunty Fi by climbing into her rucksack. We are having fun already.
We have been on a train that went over a viaduct with at least 27 arches, (there might have been more but I felt funny trying to count as we went round a corner). There was a big river and houses with red roofs and a place called West End Road. We could see the sea, which was very green and had lots of little white tips of waves on that made it look like cake icing. There was a big dark bit of sea that I think might have had a whale in it. I think we must have gone through a place called Barack, because a man came along shouting “Barack, Barack” with a funny accent, and I thought we must be on a train with the president of the United States.
The sky was very blue as we came south and it had big bits of cotton wool in it, but I don’t know how they stayed in the air. There was a long hedge that must have had lots of birds and mice in it. That reminds me of my mouse at home – I hope he’s alright! I had to leave him behind in the bathroom. I call him Joseph and I get scared that he will take my stuffing away and make bedding out of me.
We saw some lovely little lambs. They had small tails and looked like they had been eating lots of sugar because they kept jumping up and down, but could not run in very straight lines.
Podge and I played I-spy and I spied a rucksack, a coke can, a ticket inspector, a peanut butter sandwich and a telegraph wire. Podge spied a telephone, a sheep, crisps, a watch and me! He won as I couldn’t get guess me!
I got travel sick and felt very ill after a long time. Then we got to London. I was scared that we would be pick-pocketed, but we weren’t. After another couple of hours we arrived in Guildford. It was cold!
