CBeebies Bedtime Story.

0:00:030:00:05

Hello. I'm Maureen, but my grandchildren call me Mo-Mo.

0:00:070:00:11

And it's wonderful to visit the CBeebies house.

0:00:110:00:14

It feels very familiar and homely, even though it's not my house.

0:00:140:00:18

Mmm.

0:00:180:00:20

Tonight's story is about a little girl visiting someone's home

0:00:200:00:24

and it feels just like that.

0:00:240:00:26

It's called Grandma's House and it's by Alice Melvin.

0:00:260:00:30

Often after school I go to Grandma's house,

0:00:320:00:36

where everything is different,

0:00:360:00:38

but always stays the same.

0:00:380:00:40

I always hang my coat up on this hook inside the hall

0:00:410:00:45

and I pour my glass of milk from the little china cow.

0:00:450:00:50

But Grandma's tartan tin is on the very highest shelf

0:00:500:00:54

and I know I cannot reach the chocolate biscuits by myself.

0:00:540:00:58

I love to ride the rocking chair...

0:00:580:01:00

CREAKING ..as quickly as I can.

0:01:000:01:03

Then slowly spin the globe to search for places that I know.

0:01:030:01:08

But I cannot wind the ticking clock that stands beside the stair...

0:01:080:01:12

TICK TOCK TICK TOCK ..as Grandma keeps the special key.

0:01:120:01:16

She must be here somewhere!

0:01:160:01:18

I have to climb this ladder to my favourite place.

0:01:200:01:24

My own top-secret hideout at the top of Grandma's house.

0:01:240:01:28

Full of all the toys she used to play with long ago,

0:01:280:01:31

but still I cannot find her.

0:01:310:01:34

So I climb back down below.

0:01:340:01:36

I haven't got my partner for a dance around the room,

0:01:380:01:41

nor anyone to watch me squeeze a snowy cloud of talc.

0:01:410:01:45

GIGGLING

0:01:450:01:47

I often stop and stare at all the photos on the wall,

0:01:470:01:51

but Grandma isn't here to tell me tales about them all.

0:01:510:01:55

CLOCK CHIMES

0:01:550:01:57

I hurry past the lampstand and the dancing figurines.

0:01:570:02:00

I run across the sunroom to the open double doors,

0:02:000:02:04

out into the garden through the hedge beneath the tree

0:02:040:02:08

towards a kind familiar voice

0:02:080:02:10

that's calling out to me. BIRDS TWEET

0:02:100:02:13

SIGHING WOOF! WOOF!

0:02:130:02:14

Oh, I'm really glad the little girl found her grandma.

0:02:150:02:19

What was your favourite room in the house?

0:02:190:02:22

Was it the attic, with Grandma's old toys?

0:02:220:02:25

Or was it the garden with the tea party ready?

0:02:250:02:28

I know which is my favourite.

0:02:300:02:32

But now it's time for bed.

0:02:320:02:35

I hope you have sweet dreams.

0:02:350:02:37

Night-night. I'll see you soon for another bedtime story.

0:02:370:02:41

Night-night.
