Post 1502. Wednesday April 12

We are going on a journey today! Not a long trip, a short bus ride actually. But to many of the Amble Originals, anything that involves going beyond the village boundary is an adventure! Right, according to my watch it’s eight-thirty. There’s only one bus each morning and it leaves at eight-fifty, so we need to get a move on.

We are off to the nearest town, Bustleton. It’s only small. There’s a street of shops, a couple of pubs, a superstore, a church; all the usual things.

Come on bus, where are you?

It’s Market Day today. Arthur’s taking his cows to auction. He’s decided to say goodbye to them. He put them in his trailer, and he’s towing it with his tractor so there will be some very frustrated motorists in his wake!

Where has the bus got to?

The kids go to school there. I went to school there! I was rubbish at school. You?

Where on earth is the bus?

There’s a shoppers market too. I need some apples. Also, some ladies tights and some makeup. What are you laughing at? All will become clear later in the month!

The bus is terribly late.

What’s the time? On no! My watch still says eight-thirty! It must have stopped before we set off! Oh well, you probably wouldn’t have liked Bustleton anyway.

Tomorrow I’ll be telling you about  Karaoke nights at the Fish Inn. You'll need earplugs!
