"morning everyone" he said,
"no-one else is up yet" said jo, "here have a cup of tea"
"cheers jo" replied joe looking lovingly at the tea,
"morning" said emily running down the stairs,
"good morning em" replied jo, "cup of tea?"
"oh yes please" said emily,
"well i hope everyone else is up soon, we have the harvest to pick" said joe looking at his watch,
"i'm sure they will be" said jo, "everyone is very excited about our first proper harvest"
"good morning" said jeni, "how about a fry up?"
"sounds good" said tom bounding down the stairs, "i can try out my new stomach"
"right a fry up it is then" said jeni, getting out the pots and pans,
"would you like some help?" asked reena,
"go on then" replied jeni,
meanwhile in the living room, everyone was asking about louise. "well i haven't seen her" said robyn,"i saw her last thing yesterday night" said ellie, "she said she was going to see the horse's"
just then louise walked in looking very tired, but quite happy. "morning everyone" said louise,
"where have you been?" asked suz,
"i have been with the horse's" said louise,
"what all night?" added emma,
"yeah why not?" replied louise, at that moment wilko walked in, wearing a smoking jacket, and slippers and smoking a cigar!
"was it as good for you, as it was for me? asked wilko looking at louise,
"ar i've had better" replied louise looking adamant,
"oh louise i do despair" said jess,
"anyway we haven't got time to discuss this" said joe hurriedly. "as soon as we have eaten, we shall get started on the harvesting, who would like to drive the combine?"
"can i" asked james,
"i'm sorry but you know you can't drive with that arm of yours all mangled"
"i will" said luke firmly
"good its settled then" said joe, "now who will fill the hoppers, and who will pick the nozzles?, if you could organise yourselves into pickers and loaders, that would help"
"right" said debz "i'm picking who will help me?"
so after everyone had eaten jeni and reena's lovely fry up, and drunk more of jo's tea it was time to get to work.
"right lets start shall we" said joe in a firm voice,
"i have an idea" said alion, "why don't we get the squirrels to help us?"
"what a good idea" added robyn, "oh can we joe" she asked,
"i don't see why not" said joe, "it would speed things up a bit"
just then arthur appeared, "arthur" shouted susie, "your back, where is julia?"
"i'm right here" said julia,
"what happened to you then?" asked tom,
"well when we were sucked down the whirlpool" began julia, "we found ourselves in a magical land, where there were flying fish, and they took us to their king, who was a big fat carp, named steve".
"yeah and there were huge jars of marows as far as the eye could see" added arthur!
"cool" said ellie, "can you show us"
"i'm afraid not" said julia, "when we left to come back here, the whirlpool closed up behind us, and we can't find the entrance anywhere"
"oh well" added joe "come along we have alot to do, you must tell us everything tonight tho you two, i would very much like to see this place for myself"
so everyone got stuck into the nozzle picking, and even the squirrels were a good help,it was a very hot day and they all soon began to perspire!, "phew its hot" said reena, "its a good job we braught some water with us, or we would of died out here"
"yes lets have a little break now, we must of picked nearly half" said joe,
"thank goodness for that" said luke, "at least you are in the fresh air, its bioling in that cab!!"
so eveyone drank water under a bit oak, and gave bits of food to the squirrels for all their help.
"well" said joe, "we can start to harvest this lot tomorrow, we can make some nozzle wine, and smoke some of the leaves!"
"yes that will be fun" said arthur.
"yes and i will make some nozzle leaf tea" said jo.
so as they all talked and discussed nozzles and all the things they could do with them.
a short dark man came up to them, with slick greasy hair, "hello" said joe,
"amo-te" said the man,
"wow he's portuguese" said emily looking very excited,
"can you translate then please" asked joe.
"yeah sure" said emily, "amigo" said the man, "muitos-beijos" said emily smiling. "what sre you saying to him?" asked rii,
"oh just hello and stuff" said emily very casually, but with a strange smirk on her face.
"anyway" said joe, "back to picking".
