0:00:02 > 0:00:04BOTH: Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:00:06 > 0:00:07Catch me if you can!

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Come down, Grandpa!

0:00:22 > 0:00:23Ha-ha!

0:00:34 > 0:00:35Grandpa!

0:00:48 > 0:00:52'Lots of people come to Sunnysands for their holidays.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55'You can go out in Bob's boat, The Boomerang.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58'You can have ice cream sundaes at Miss Smiley's cafe.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00'You can play on the beach.

0:01:00 > 0:01:05'And the best place to stay is at the Mill on the Marsh.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07'But today things were very quiet.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11'Grandpa was on the balcony reading the Sunnysands Gazette

0:01:11 > 0:01:12'when uncle CJ came in.'

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Jules is taking Wulfy for a walk.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18I'm cleaning the garage. If you need me, shout.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Fine. Where are the children? - In the kitchen.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24Some kids from Sunnysands Summer Camp are coming today.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Really, what for?- Their guide is keen to teach them about windmills.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Isn't that for when it's raining?

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Better to take them to the beach on a day like this.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37You'd think so. I'm sure they won't be here long.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Just a quick look round.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42'But the summer-camp kids had already arrived.'

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Shush, shush! Gather round, gather round.

0:01:46 > 0:01:51Now, here we are at the fascinating mill on the Marsh.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Hi. - ALL: Hello.

0:01:53 > 0:01:58- Hello everyone.- Hello. Wendy Waffle, children's tour guide.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02Excuse me, I am in the middle of explaining something important.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Now, a long, long time ago,

0:02:05 > 0:02:09this windmill was used to grind flour to make bread.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13Now, the windmill was invented in ancient Rome

0:02:13 > 0:02:16in the ninth century, or was it the eighth?

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Maybe it was the tenth. No, it was...

0:02:19 > 0:02:23I see why she is called Wendy Waffle, she is waffling.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Was it the Persians? - 'Wendy Waffle was going on and on.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30'Yes, she was doing a lot of...'

0:02:36 > 0:02:37I'll be in the garage.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Grandpa is upstairs, but he'll go for little lie down.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Jason will look after you. - Thanks, Dad.- Have fun.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Oh, we are not here to have fun, we're here to learn!

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Can we go to the beach, too? - Don't be silly,

0:02:52 > 0:02:57you can't learn anything about windmills on the beach. Ha!

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Come along, follow me!

0:02:58 > 0:03:02'We were still having breakfast when everyone came in.'

0:03:02 > 0:03:06I have got lots of important things to tell you about our day.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09First off, our windmill facts sheet.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Then time for our windmill picnic lunch.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Then, windmill make and do.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18And finally...a windmill test!

0:03:18 > 0:03:21A test? But we are on summer camp!

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Here we are.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25'Jason didn't like the sound of any of this.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28'He went upstairs to tell Grandpa.'

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Write your name on it. Don't lose it.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36Right, we have all got our windmill fact sheets, follow me!

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Wendy Waffle is a terrible waffler.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43She is making it all so boring.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46They are summer-camp kids, they want to go to the beach.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51Maybe we could do something to help, speed up the visit a little.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Like how?- I'll think of something.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Come along, gather round. - They're in the sitting room.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Right, interesting fact number one -

0:04:00 > 0:04:05this windmill is over 300 years old.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Or is it 200?

0:04:07 > 0:04:12No, it's 300 years old. Anyway, it is very, very old.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17'The waffle went on and on and on.'

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Interesting fact number two - the Mill on the Marsh was

0:04:21 > 0:04:25built by a man called Mr Marjoram, the Jolly Miller.

0:04:25 > 0:04:30- Did you know about Mr Marjoram, the Jolly Miller?- Never heard of him.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34Oh, I think it was Mr Marjoram, the Jolly Miller.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Why was he called the Jolly Miller?

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Because he had a very loud, jolly laugh

0:04:40 > 0:04:42and loved having lots of fun.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46Perhaps the ghost of the Jolly Miller still haunts this mill.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Wooooo!- Woooo!

0:04:48 > 0:04:51A ghost! I say, how exciting!

0:04:51 > 0:04:53I've never met a ghost.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55I wonder if it is hiding in the kitchen.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00Or maybe in the living room. Or maybe in the meadow!

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Oh, I'd love to see a ghost!

0:05:03 > 0:05:08Well, you won't, because there is no such thing. He was joking!

0:05:08 > 0:05:09Oh.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Well, no time for jokes, we are here to learn.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16Come along, everyone, upstairs now. Come along.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Feet up, we haven't all day.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21'Grandpa had been listening and he just got an idea.'

0:05:21 > 0:05:26The only person who can persuade Wendy Waffle to take those

0:05:26 > 0:05:29kids to the beach is the ghost of the Jolly Miller.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31I know what you are thinking, Grandpa.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35And it will be easier for me to be the ghost of the Jolly Miller

0:05:35 > 0:05:36if I am small.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Catch me if you can!

0:05:42 > 0:05:46'You know all about Grandpa shrinking.

0:05:46 > 0:05:51'When he has got that cap on, he gets up to all sorts of mischief.

0:05:51 > 0:05:55'He runs and jumps and climbs everywhere.

0:05:55 > 0:06:00'And he can make things fly. Like this!

0:06:00 > 0:06:03'He can drive around in my cousin Jason's toy car.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05'It's magic!

0:06:05 > 0:06:10'We came out to see Grandpa and, surprise, surprise, he had shrunk!'

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Sorry, I couldn't stop him.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16I am going to be the ghost of Mr Marjoram, the Jolly Miller.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Grandpa, you're such a mischief. - But why?

0:06:20 > 0:06:24Because I think the Jolly Miller can persuade Wendy Waffle to

0:06:24 > 0:06:27leave the mill and take the kids to the beach instead.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30That's a great plan. And a funny one, too.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34But first, we're going to need an old white sheet.

0:06:34 > 0:06:39- We've got a sheet in our bedroom, I'll get it.- No, I'll get it.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42And I've got another little job for you, too, Jason.

0:06:42 > 0:06:47- A couple of little jobs, actually. - I had a feeling you'd say that.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Come along, everyone, follow me! Here we are.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Right then, settle down, gather round.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Now then, up there are all the old workings of the mill.

0:06:57 > 0:07:03Now, a long, long time ago, that big wheel up there used to turn around.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Or is it spin? Spin or turn?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08'Just then, Grandpa sneaked in from the balcony,

0:07:08 > 0:07:12'but nobody saw him and Wendy Waffle kept waffling.'

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Wasn't that fascinating?

0:07:15 > 0:07:19Right, now it is time for our windmill picnic lunch.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Can we go to the beach for our picnic?

0:07:23 > 0:07:26ALL: Yes, please!

0:07:26 > 0:07:30No, don't be silly! There is lots more to do here. Come along...

0:07:30 > 0:07:35'Before Wendy Waffle left, Jason stepped in.'

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Miss Waffle, why don't you have your lunch up here, on your own?

0:07:39 > 0:07:43You deserve a break from all that waffl...I mean, talking.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47Oh, I'd love a break, but who is going to watch the children?

0:07:47 > 0:07:50My dad will do that. I'll check if it's cool.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54That would be lovely. That is very kind.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57'Wendy Waffle was on her own,

0:07:57 > 0:08:00'but it didn't stop her waffling to herself.'

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Ham sandwiches are my favourite.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06'It was time for Grandpa to put his plan into action.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07'He did this...'

0:08:07 > 0:08:11Ho-ho-ho! Ha-ha-ha!

0:08:11 > 0:08:14What was that? It sounded like a laugh. Or was it a chuckle?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16'Of course, it was Grandpa

0:08:16 > 0:08:20'pretending to be Mr Marjoram, the Jolly Miller.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23'We were trying really hard not to laugh.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27'Next, Grandpa jumped into the bits and bobs box and did it again.'

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Ha-ha-ha!

0:08:29 > 0:08:33It couldn't be, could it? Or could it?!

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Mr Marjoram, the Jolly Miller!

0:08:37 > 0:08:42Don't be silly, Wendy, it couldn't be. But maybe it is!

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Dad's looking after everyone. Are you OK?- I'm fine.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50Now it's time for the make and do, or do and make?

0:08:50 > 0:08:55Make, do, do, make... I'm off to the kitchen.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Here!

0:08:59 > 0:09:03So far, so good. I think she has started to believe me.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- What's next?- And why do you want this old white sheet?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Gather round, gather round.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'll explain.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Now it is time for your windmill test.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16We'll never get to the beach, never.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20'Grandpa wanted us to get the children to leave the kitchen

0:09:20 > 0:09:22'so Wendy Waffle would be on her own.'

0:09:22 > 0:09:26Excuse me, why don't you show our uncle CJ your windmills?

0:09:26 > 0:09:30He'd love to see them. He is mad about windmills.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Can we? Please! - ALL: Please!

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Oh, all right. I'll tidy up.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40The garage is that way.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44'It was time for the final bit of the plan.'

0:09:44 > 0:09:47I'm too grown-up for this kind of thing, Grandpa.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Too grown-up? Nonsense! Now get under that sheet.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57'Wendy Waffle came into the courtyard and saw this!'

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Ha-ha-ha!

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Oh, my eyes!

0:10:00 > 0:10:03'Yes, Grandpa and Jason were pretending to be

0:10:03 > 0:10:08'the ghost of Mr Marjoram, the Jolly Miller.'

0:10:08 > 0:10:11I am Mr Marjoram, the Jolly Miller.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14No, you can't be. Or can you?

0:10:14 > 0:10:17- But you can't be!- Ha-ha!

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Are you the ghost of the Jolly Miller or aren't you?

0:10:21 > 0:10:27I most certainly am! And I want everybody to be jolly like me.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31These summer-camp kids have come to Sunnysands to have fun.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34It's a beautiful sunny day.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39So forget this windmill test and take them to the beach.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44All right. Of course, the beach, I will take them to the beach.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47I can't wait to tell them I have seen a real ghost!

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Children, to the beach!

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Aaaah!

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Ha-ha-ha.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Well, that seemed to work. - I felt a bit silly, though.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04Uncle CJ will be back any second, cap off, Grandpa.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- That was good.- You two were so funny!

0:11:10 > 0:11:14Ho-ho-ho, I'm Mr Marjoram, the Jolly Miller!

0:11:14 > 0:11:18We couldn't have done it without you two. Teamwork, I call it.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20ALL: Teamwork!

0:11:20 > 0:11:25- What lovely kids. They have left, gone to the beach.- Oh, good.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Wendy was in a lather of excitement.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32- She kept going on about a ghost. - Ghost?- There's no such thing!

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Don't take any notice, you know what she is like -

0:11:34 > 0:11:36it was a load of waffle!

0:11:36 > 0:11:38ALL: Ha-ha-ha!

0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Teamwork!- Teamwork!

0:11:56 > 0:11:57ALL: Teamwork!
