Dinky returns....well almost!
Dinky and Albert were enjoying their flight up along the coast. They played games of 'I spy' and Albert pretended to be one of them old planes doing loop the loop. Dinky was feeling rather excited as Albert had promised that he would take Dinky back home to call and see Megan.
The two had been chatting and playing for quite a long time when the wind started to pick up. They could just see the huge waves breaking on the coastline far down below them.
They started to get buffeted about from side to side in the wind and the cloud started to surround them. They were finding it harder and harder to see and then it started raining, gently at first and then harder and harder. Dinky and Albert were soaked and feeling quite cold. They jumped as they saw a flash shoot across the sky and a loud bang it the distance. Albert told Dinky to hold on very tight as the wind rolled them over and over. Dinky was feeling quite scared now as the loud banging sound got louder and louder as the very bright flashes increased. Albert told Dinky that they were in a thunderstorm and they would have to try and get up higher above the cloud or they might crash. Albert started beating his wings faster and faster as he forced his way upwards through the clouds. He eventually popped his head through the top of some clouds and they could see all the angry looking clouds down below them. They didn't know just exactly where they were as the coastline wasn't visable anymore.
As the storm clouds disappeared they came down to land....at Whitehaven! They had gone right past Megan's house a little further down the coast. "Never mind" said Albert "I have a friend who lives around here called Anne-Marie and she'll be able to help you." After a little rest off they set to find Anne-Marie who gave them both a nice warm bowl of vegeatable soup with some lovely thick bread to eat. They then had a rest snuggled up with Ozzy by the fire and fell asleep.
When they awoke the skies had cleared and it was a beautiful afternoon. Anne-Marie suggested that they may like to go for a walk with Ozzy and her at St. Bees which has a lovely beach that Ozzy loves to run about on and so of they went.
It was lovely on the beach....Ozzy kept running in and out of the water and Dinky told Anne-Marie all about Megan and how he wanted to go back home to see her as he had heard that she was feeling a little bit sickly. Anne-Marie said that she would send a postcard to Megan for him and told Dinky about the train which goes down the coast, as she thought that perhaps Dinky may be able to go home on that. Dinky looked around to see where Albert was and saw that he was talking to a seagull further up the beach. Albert hurried down to Dinky and excitedly told Dinky that he must hurry back home as his babies were due to hatch from their eggs. Mrs. Albatross had sent the seagull to find Albert. Dinky thanked Albert for all of his help as Albert soared high into the sky on his way back home.
After a fun afternoon playing with Ozzy on the beach, Dinky thanked Anne-Marie and she took Dinky to the station and put him on the train to go home......................
Dinky hasn't turned up
? But a postcard did
Megan read it before she got out of her pj's or even brushed her hair.
and guess what? Ozzy likes Megan's picture
Megan would like to say thank you to Anne-Marie and Ozzy.
