The Long Journey Norff

"To the Orkneys"

Marge and Phil asked Babs to come wiff them to some Little Islands a long way past Scotrish and over the sea.
We were going in the Motoring Home which has a special bunk bed for Babs and even curtains.
Phil was worried that we would be too heavy so none of the rest were invited, they did not seem too bothered.
Wodger said that he would gets "Home"sick so would not like to go in the Motoring "Home", Poor fellow I fink he has got the wrong end of a stick there.
Babs was allowed to take a few fings and packed her sweetcase on her own. Bye folks!

Mart got out of bed to say goodbye, He and Stumpy were staying to look after the house.
He asked me to bring them some presents, I said I would do what I can!

Bloomin Heck the step into the Motoringhome is a big one.
I asked Mart to give me a hoof up but he had gone back to his sofa already.
Must see if Phil can fix me a lower one.
Marge says he has taken so long doing the Baffroom I had best not hold my breath.
I wonder what she means?

After a long, long journey we finally set up our Motoringhome in a car park in Dunkeld in Scotrish, Phil said its a great spot.
Marge said that he only said that because it was free!

Next day we set off early. Well Phil and me set off early, Marge stayed in bed!
Phil said I could be the Navinator, I said I would but I was just keeping him happy.
Everyone knows the Satterite machine does the Navination!

See what I mean! Soon we were right up high in the mountains of Scotrish and Marge was still in bed.
Every time Marge started snoring Phil gave a wobble of the wheel and she stopped.
She would kill him if she woke up, He He.

Babs was ungry because we left before breakfast, after a bit of a moan Phil said we would stop for some food.
I had some yellow grass as a starter, It was a bit crumbly but did the job!

Phil made some seeded Baps filled wiff Eggs and Vegitarian Cumbernauld sausages. Mmm!
He also made Marge a cup of tee when she told him to.

While Marge was brushing her teeth and Phil was washing the dishes I had a quick go at driving in the Lay bye.
It was easier than our Kitten cars because this has got "Crude Control" which tells it to go as fast as you want so you don't need the pedals.

Now Marge was fully awake and had her 2 cups of Tee she wanted to drive.
Phil had to make the beds and clean the toilet before he could sit down. Poor Phil!

We were nearly at the top of Scotrish so Babs decided we need to find our home for the night.
Luckily because we were in "The Beast" we could just turn up and park. Phil had made the beds and was busy cooking our tea.
Marge was busy reading her KO magazine and did not want to go out so Babs decided to check out the views on her own.

Wow, what a lovely place to stay and Look at all them skimmers.
I wonder if thats the Orkney Isle over there?

I decided to have a closer look, It certainly looks quite big so it could be.
Wish Phil was here he would tell me!

All this See air made me quite peckish, I saw this lovely clump of Lichen Grass and could not resist.
It was only a little climb, honest!

ooo Errr !

PHIL !!!

Fank goodness for that, Phil had finished the Cooking and Marge had sent him to see where I was.

Phil said I better eat my tea after all my snacking.
Fink he was a bit cross, perhaps he had just had an ear straightening from Marge!

While Phil was collecting a few skimmers Babs waited by these fings, wonder what they are?
Phil said they remind him of his work !

After our Aggis supper we all went to explore the top of the hill, it was a bloomin long way up.
Phil had to go back because he forgot to turn off the cooker, Marge said he should get the "Bins" while he was there.
Silly Babs fought she meant getting rid of the rubbish but Marge really meant get the "2 eyed tellingscope".

Marge said I might see some Mates in this bit.
Phil asked if it was "Lovers Lane ?" and laughed to himself, Marge just hit him.

Wow, look at that view.
Babs had decided that, "That bit" earlier was not the Orkneys because there was nowhere to park the ships when you got there.

A man at the bottom told us to look out for the "Gloop", Apparently it was a Big, Big Hole in the ground.
He was right it was bloomin massive, Luckily Babs spotted it otherwise I might have fell to the bottom and got all wet.

While Phil was busy throwing skimmers down the Gloop, Babs decided to play a trick on Marge, I lay as flat as I could so she could not see me.
If you look carefully, you might be able to see me just behind that bit of grass!
"Babs Wogers, Master of Disguise"

Ha ha, she can't see me !
Silly Marge she's looking the wrong way.

Awe Flip, Marge shouted out "Babs where are you ?" Phil said "She's behind me" and Marge got me straight away.
"Bloomin tell tale twit"

Oh, she only wanted to give Babs a look through the telingscope bins. Sorry Phil !
Phew, these are ace, you can really see the Orkneys from here, Phil just laughed.
Babs was looking at one of Phils skimmers on the beach!

Blinking heck, the Motoring Home is miles away. We had better get going soon or it will get dark and we will be stuck on this mountain forever!
Cmon Phil, put down the skimmers, we are off to the Orkneys tomorrow!

Hooray, it's tomorrow and we have arrived at the ship park in Scrabster.
We were a bit early but at least we could have a look round and a bite to eat in the Motoring Home.
I do hope Phil has finished the hoovering and put away the dishes before we get back!
