The Hazelnuts' holiday

It was a warm, bright morning in Hazelnut Hollow and the Hazelnut's were up bright and early.
It was a very exciting day because they were going on a holiday to Babblebrook Bay.
The woodland bus came just in time. Olive and Stan Butler welcomed them on board.
It was around a 3 hour bus trip.
They passed a sign which said 'Welcome to Babblebrook Bay.' When the bus arrived at the Babblebrook Bay Hotel Mr Cheshire the Butler was waiting for them.
They waved at the bus as it drove off. "May I take your luggage sir?" asked Mr Cheshire. "Why, yes please!" replied Sydney.
When they went up to the reception, Mrs Simpkins gave Mona her room key.
Mr Cheshire showed them to their room and left their suitcases by the door.
They went straight to bed.
It had been a very long journey and Odette was exhausted.
They were up bright and early and went down to the breakfast hall.
There were so many yummy things to choose from. Odette had a hard time choosing whether to have a scone or a slice of chocolate cake so she just had one of each.
She wiped her mouth with a napkin.
Then the were off! They came out of the hotel and walked to the nearest bus stop. They were going to a special guided tour of the Mayor's office ( which Mona had booked in advance).
When they arrived, Mr Brighteyes was  ready to take them on the tour.
It was fascinating. There was even a timeline of all the Mayors of Babblebrook Bay, starting from Barry Babblebrook all the way to Mason Charcoal.
They went back to the hotel for a delicious three-course meal.
The Hazelnut's did lots of lovely things over the course of the week.
                 

On Sunday, they had to go back home. They waved goodbye to all the staff and got on the Woodland Bus.
They waved until Babblebrook Bay was just a mere speck in the distance. Odette would miss Babblebrook Bay but after all, there's no place like home.

  1. Wow! The hazelnuts sure had a great holiday! Babblebrook bay sounds like a great place to visit. They had a very grand hotel, even with a long bus trip I suppose it was worth it =)
