Chapter Six

Bluebells and steam trains

Dolly ducktail and David had decided to collected some bluebells, they knew of a place by the side of the Bluebell line, this was an old steam train railway line and although steam trains had long since gone, this line had been kept open by a crowd of people who loved Steam trains, and Dolly and David loved them too.

They would often sit along the line and watch all the old trains chuff chuff by.

Today David’s grandmother was coming to visit him and he wanted to give to her with a great big bunch of bluebells so the two of them made their way to the line.

Soon they were picking all the lovely bluebells and before long the two of them had a great big armful, Oh Dolly said David, I think Granma will love these.

All of a sudden they heard the Whooo Whooo of an approaching train, there’s a train coming ,there’s a train coming quacked David, Quack Quack Quack Quack Quack lets go up onto the bridge and watch it go under he said.

The two of them ran as fast as they could to get to the bridge before the train arrived.

Whooo Whooo went Dolly copying the sound of the train, the train approached the bridge with steam bellowing from it chimney, then under the bridge it went the whole bridge was covered in steam hahaha  Quack Quack Quack Quack Quack the two of them went, and as the steam slowly cleared Dolly roared with laughter Oh David you have gone all black hahaha he said so have you.

The steam of the puffing Billy had blackened them, we had better get home and wash said Dolly, so both of them made there way to David’s home and washed all the soot off and made themselves look smart before they met Grandma

Lets give Grandma her bluebells now David quacked, there was granny sitting in her rocking chair, we have a present Grandma said the two of them and gave her the big bunch of Bluebells, Oh said Granma thank you so very much, how lovely, and how unusual,  wherever did you managed to get Black Bluebells?
