Dinky's reunion with Nessie
Dinky was feeling a little homesick again and as the wind was blowing towards Scotland he wondered if her might be able to visit his cousin Nessie - The Loch Ness Monster at Inverness.
As he was thinking about this he saw the face of Jojo the Little Leprechaun appear in the cloud. Jojo appeared to wink at Dinky and some sparkly magic dust fluttered down on Dinky as he passed under the cloud. The dust was all the colours of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet and as it fell onto Dinky he started to travel really fast, as if he was on one of the jet fighter's that he used to watch roaring above him in the skies.
As he zoomed past the hills and Lakes in Cumbria he wondered if Megan was thinking about him as he nearly flew into a Goshawk that was fishing for some trout over Keswick. "Watch out" the Goshawk squawked at Dinky "don't you know I've got three chicks to feed" "Sorry" replied Dinky as he sped on his way. In no time at all he was in Inverness by the Loch. The wind gently placed him down right by the side of the lock as if it knew exactly what Dinky wanted to do. "Goodness me" said Dinky, I don't think that I've ever travelled so fast before. There was a rippling in the Lock and then little by little a big snake like head appeared out of the water, looking all around before fully coming up our of the water. "Why I thought I knew that voice" Nessie laughed "it's you cousin Dinky, how are you"?Dinky was so very pleased to see Nessie and told him all about his big adventures. Nessie told Dinky about a friend of his Eunice, who would be round shortly and Nessie felt sure that she would help Dinky to write and send another postcard to Megan.
As the two of them were talking about some of the adventures that the wise old Welsh Dragon had enjoyed, Eunice appeared and introduced herself telling Dinky that she would take him to visit some of the sites in Scotland. Dinky and Nessie said their goodbyes and Nessie slumped back beneath the water and Dinky set off with his new friend Eunice.
Well what a day Dinky had....He went to see Edinburgh Castle, Stirling castle and even Culzean Castle. He was worn out! But, he had a lovely time and would have some beautiful memories to take with him. Eunice promised Dinky that she would send a card to Megan for him (but, what Dinky didn't know was that Eunice was also sending Megan a tee-shirt with Nessie on it so as Megan could see Dinky's cousin). Dinky started to spiral up and up into the sky higher and higher he went as he shouted "Thank you" to Eunice he disappeared into the clouds................
And well here it is
"Mum it's Dinky"
"If I close my eyes and count to 10 I can be there with him"
Megan would like to say thank yo so much and "do you like my Nessie teeshirt"?
