day three - spider symposium

Roncard

Dear Percy & friends

It was a lively night at Comfy's - lots of birdmen and birdladies came and emptied all the bottles in the bar.

Today fred and I are moving on - fred wants to attend a symposium at the famous Spider Newton's Institute for Web Studies & Numbers.

fred can count up to ninety, which is good for a young spider, but some spider scholars can count to over 200.

about Comfy Roberts

About Comfy Roberts

Comfy Roberts used to earn a living as a cocoa blackberry smuggler executive curtain salesbear seahorse trainer and consultant marshmallow farmer shrimp dealer prune entrepreneur. But, one afternoon he was (wrongly) implicated in a seal polo match-fixing scandal. But, he was let off when he rescued a nice dragon from a bureaucratic nightmare & was awarded a big gold medallion, which he sold and opened his hostel-bar stroke cabinet.

evening two - Comfy Roberts' hostel-bar stroke cabinet

Postcard from Ron

Dear Percy & friends

Have escaped from the B.G. Forest and now in a sort of hostel-bar stroke cabinet. The owner is a big white bear called Comfy Roberts, who is just throwing out two drunken badgers who were causing trouble and broke a table leg. Mr. Roberts is actually very friendly and it's fun listening to stories from his colourful life. I'm drinking a grain twisty and a jug of sparkling river water.

(No animals were hurt in the making of this postcard.)

(But the badgers have got a hangover.)

(The table leg is o.k.)

day two - breakfast at the ghost house

A Ghostcard from Ron

Dear Percy & friends,

Breakfast time at the ghost house. A good night's sleep despite the bed, but a bit bad for fred, who was kept awake by some ghosts - he was scared & lost count after two. He said our host, Munch, came in and told them off. We will be moving on straight after breakfast - it's not nuts, by the way, Munch says it's meusli, but it's just a fir cone - but he has been very kind.

day one - Black Gateau Forest

A Postcard from Ron on holiday.

Dear Percy,

I am in the Black Gateau Forest. It’s rather dark and hot. Fred (oo) says it’s too hot, and too dark. We are staying the night at a small ghost house in the middle of the forest, run by a squirrel called Munch. The bed is too small and too soft. I think it’s nuts for breakfast. Had dinner at an aubergine restaurant - aubergine soup & grilled aubergine, and aubergine beer, aubergine pie & eggplant custard.

From Ron and fred
