0:00:03 > 0:00:06Oh, Charlie!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Lola?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Charlie.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Ah! Oh-oh! Oh.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38(Ah, this one. Here.)
0:00:38 > 0:00:42I have this little sister, Lola.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46She is small and very funny.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Today, we are going to Granny and Grandpa's house by the sea.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- Ah! Oh!- Lola loves going to Granny and Grandpa's house.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- Don't you, Lola?- Mmm.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03This time, something seems to be on Lola's mind.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10Oh! Oh, it's no good, Charlie. We can't go to Granny and Grandpa's,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14because my hoolie hoop will not fit in my suitcase.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17We could just put it in the car, Lola.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I know, but I really need it to go in my suitcase.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Lola, the sooner we leave, the sooner we'll be at their house.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, er...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36SHE SIGHS
0:01:36 > 0:01:43Lola, I hope that Granny makes us some of her apple pie and ice cream.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48I do really love it! It's my favourite, it's my best.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Mmmmmm!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Yummy!- Oh, yummy!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Mmmm, so come on, Lola.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03But, Charlie, you can eat TOO much apple pie and ice cream.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06And then you can also pop.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08POP!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Only if you eat mountains of it, Lola.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16And it's such fun playing in Granny's painting room, isn't it?
0:02:19 > 0:02:24'Granny allowed me to play dressing up all day,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27'with absolutely no stopping.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- 'Do you remember Grandpa's record player?- Oh, yes. Yes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35'We did dancing to music, didn't we?'
0:02:35 > 0:02:37(Ah, this one.)
0:02:40 > 0:02:43ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC PLAYS
0:02:50 > 0:02:55And we danced and danced and danced.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yes, that was a lovely day.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00But it did make me very tired.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04And my feet were a little hurty after.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09You didn't need your feet, because Granny let us go on the ponies!
0:03:09 > 0:03:16Yes! And your voice went all wiggledy-woggledy, didn't it?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh... - LOLA LAUGHS LOUDLY
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Uh-uh-uh, hu-u-rry up, Lola, Keep up with me-e-e.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Yeah! I'm trying, Charlie.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Make him go faster, Grandpa, make him go faster!
0:03:34 > 0:03:40Yes, but I think you know that all the ponies really do like me.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45But when you do go on a pony ride, you have to choose just one pony.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48It's hard to choose just one pony.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53What about all the other ponies? They're all so sweet.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Well, you might have time to go on all the ponies if you hurry up.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03- Are you ready? - I'm almost nearly ready, Charlie.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06But what about my hoolie hoop?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- I told you the Hula Hoop can go in the car.- Oh, hmm...
0:04:10 > 0:04:14What's the problem? You love going to Granny and Grandpa's.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Yes, yes, I do, it's just that...
0:04:18 > 0:04:23er, it's just that I think you've forgotten about Soren Lorenson.
0:04:23 > 0:04:29'Soren Lorenson is Lola's imaginary friend, they go everywhere together.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31'No-one else can see him.'
0:04:31 > 0:04:34He would really, really absolutely miss me
0:04:34 > 0:04:38far too much, if I went away.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Why can't Soren Lorenson come with us, Lola?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47He has to look after Mum and Dad, Charlie, while we're away.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52I know what you can do so Soren Lorenson won't miss you.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56There's a way you can tell Soren Lorenson
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- what you're doing at Granny and Grandpa's.- (Come on.) ..What is it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Postcards. You can send a postcard every day.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- You can tell Soren about jumping in the waves.- We've been there!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Your sandcastles.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- Look at all the ponies! - And, of course, the ponies!
0:05:17 > 0:05:23Oooh! You'd like to get a postcard every day, wouldn't you?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Especially the one with ponies on it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Oh, oh, I see.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35We're not extremely sure if Mum and Dad will be all right,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39with just Soren Lorenson here and without me.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41They all quite miss me, too.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44But you can write to them, too.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46You stick the stamp there.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- There.- And you can write our address here.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Mum and Dad,
0:05:52 > 0:05:557A Crocodile Street.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00And this is where you write Mum and Dad a message.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- There.- That's good, Lola. Then you pop it in the post.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14Then Mum and Dad and Soren Lorenson will know we're having fun,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- and that we're thinking of them. - Mmmm!
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Er, the postcards are good, Charlie.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25It's just that... they won't be talking.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29And I need to talk to Mum and Dad every day.
0:06:29 > 0:06:36- That's fine, because Mum and Dad can call us on the telephone.- Oh.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Er, Charlie, Soren Lorenson and me must talk to each other on our own.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Come on, Soren Lorenson.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49I'm looking forward to getting all the postcards,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53especially the one with all the ponies. I love ponies.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Soren Lorenson, I think the postcard idea is a very good one, too.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02I know you'll be fine with Mum and Dad.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06And Mum and Dad will be fine with you while I'm away.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08It's just that...
0:07:08 > 0:07:12maybe I will miss Mum and Dad, too.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Oh, I see.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Maybe you should tell Charlie you'll miss them.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Yeah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:32Charlie, Soren Lorenson thinks that I might miss Mum and Dad too much
0:07:32 > 0:07:35and maybe I shouldn't go to Grandma and Grandpa's at all.
0:07:35 > 0:07:42In fact, maybe none of us should go - maybe we should all just stay here.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Granny and Grandpa could come and see us.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Is that what Soren really said?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53He didn't actually say all of that.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Yes, Lola?- It's just that...
0:07:57 > 0:08:04I think that I will miss Mum and Dad if I go to Granny and Grandpa's.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Come here.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11'So I said...'
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I know something that will really help.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Ah, look at that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Look at all Mum and Dad's stuff.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- HE SNIFFS - Mmmm, Mum's scarf.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27SHE SNIFFS Mmmm, this smells of Mum.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Why don't you take it with you? To remind you of Mum.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36That's a good idea. Er... And this will remind me of Ead.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40SHE SNIFFS Mmmm, it smells of clean.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44'So Lola chose one thing of Mum's and one thing of Dad's,
0:08:44 > 0:08:49'so she could think about them every single day when we were away.'
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Soren Lorenson is going to keep my hoolie hoop to amind him of me.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Because I can't fit it in my suitcase.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- Ready, Charlie!- Well done, Lola. - # La-la-la-la. #
0:09:04 > 0:09:10Finally we got in the car and went to Granny and Grandpa's.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm.- Ah.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Granny's apple pie and ice cream is my favourite and my best.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- Wow, raspberries.- Me, too, please.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Mmmm.- Yummy.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Grandpa says we can make as much noise as we like.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37THEY LAUGH AND SING
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Yes, that one, because I've got to show Soren the seagulls.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50And that one with the beach. And the waves, and the one with the ponies.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Faster, Grandpa! Make him go faster!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58You can't beat me, Lola.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02# Hum-hum-hum. # CAT PURRS
0:10:02 > 0:10:05TELEPHONE RINGS
0:10:05 > 0:10:11Ooh, Casper, that has made my picture all very nice indeed.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Mum and Dad are on the phone. Do you want to speak to them?
0:10:15 > 0:10:21Can you tell them I'm far too busy to talk on the telephone right now?
0:10:21 > 0:10:27But I will call them later, otherwise I know how much they'll miss me.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30# Hum-hum-hum. #
