Morning all,

Well, continuing my story from earlier this week, I left Teacup at the riverbank picking snowdrops and hopped home as fast as I could to pick up my bag and met Herring Gull Harry at the harbour. We went fishing on the river and had a frogtastic time. The sun even came out and kept us warm as we sat fishing on the riverbank.

After a while a bubble floated overhead and popped silently in the air. Honestly, froglettes, I thought I had imagined it. That was, until another bubble floated overhead and then another and another.

As you know, I can’t resist a bubble and love to chase and burst them. Well, I had just started to do this when they stopped again. Curious, I looked around me to see where they were coming from but I could see no one. I was just about to start fishing again when some more bubbles just floated over my head from nowhere so I burst all but one of them.

“What is wrong with you? You are being a real fidget today,” stated Herring Gull Harry looking up from his fishing.

“You know I can’t resist bubbles,” I replied.

“Bubbles?  Here on a riverbank. Where from? asked Herring Gull Harry looking up at the sky.

Just then two more bubbles appeared. “Look,” I said to Herring Gull Harry and pointing at the bubble. These were floating a little higher than the previous ones only I did not realise this until I hopped up to burst then, my foot slipped on the grass and I fell – splash – into the water.

“Errol,” said Herring Gull Harry standing up, “you OK?”

I sat up in the water. “Listen, can you hear that?”

“Hear what?”

After a moment, I said, “there it is again.”

Herring Gull Harry listened and sure enough, the sound of giggles could be heard. We both looked up the riverbank and there was Teacup leaning against a tree blowing bubbles towards us.

“After this morning I thought you might like some frogulous entertainment,” she said by way of an explanation.

“Oh, Errol has been that,” agreed Herring Gull Harry. “Like a frog on a hot tin roof.”

It certainly has been a frogtastic afternoon.
