"Almost home!!" Said Sparkles.

"That's school finished now and it's the weekend! Yippee!! I wonder what fun we will get up to this weekend?"

"Sniffity Sniff Sniff......."

"I'm so glad to be home and I wonder if Mum has baked any cakes.......I can smell something yummy somewhere!!!!

"How did you get on at school today Sparkles? What did you learn?" Says Mum

"Sniff Sniff Sniff"

"Well Mum, we learned all about Scotland, which is where we live, and about North Scotland and Loch Ness!! Can we go there this weekend PLEASE?"

"Only if you have finished your homework Sparkles? And I can hear you sniffing those yummy cakes I made! You are only allowed one Sparkles...which one will you choose!??"

"I have no homework today Mum so YIPPEE!! Now.....which cake to choose? Which cake to choose? I think I will eat the white icing & cherry on top one!! Yum!" Thank you Mum!

So Sparkles sat and ate his lovely cake and started to think about his trip to Loch Ness!

"Mum makes the best cakes ever!!!

Yum Yum, well done Mum"

In Scotland "Lakes" are called "Lochs" and there is one that is more mysterious than all the others.....For many years there has been stories of "A Loch Ness Monster".

What lives in this Loch? Will Sparkles discover any monsters or find nothing at all?! Let's find out together!!! It's exciting!

"OK Sparkles, would you like to ask one friend if they would like to come also? Remember to ask their Mum and Dad if it is OK, then you will have a friend to play with!"

says Mum who takes their bags to the car, ready to go!!

"have you got any biscuits?!"

"...ask them if they have any biscuits?"

Bramble Lane

So excited Sparkles ran to Flumps House and asked his Mum and Dad if he was allowed to go and they said YES!!

Flump was squeaking with joy!!

"Hello little worm!!"

"Hiya!"

"Hello Sparkles, Wee Flumpy and Mum and Dad, Welcome to North Scotland!!"

"Mooooooo" said Stu the Coo

"Mum and Dad, Can Flump and I please go and stay in the tent beside the Loch tonight?

I want to see if I, The Great Adventurer,

'Sparkles McSparkles', finds a Monster!!"

OK that's fine Sparkles, as long as we know where you are!!" says Mum.

"Come on Wee Flump, let's go!!"

"Squeeak Yes!"

"Come on Sparkles, let's get to the Loch and get into the tent and have something nice to eat" said Flump who was a very hungry mouse!

"Yummy Yummy Yummy............. Yum Yum Yum!!"

"OK Flump, I wonder if there really is a monster here?! In the meantime, let's collect some shiny nice pebbles for my Mum".

"hellooo! we are 2 wee crabs and we live here and it's fun!!!"
