0:00:240:00:26

My name is Katie Morag McColl and I live on the island of Struay.

0:00:330:00:38

I suppose it's quite wee, but it's ginormous to me and

0:00:380:00:41

everyone looks out for me when I'm out and about having my adventures.

0:00:410:00:46

This is where I live with my family.

0:00:470:00:50

My mum and dad run the shop and post office.

0:00:500:00:52

This is the bedroom I share with my brother Liam.

0:00:520:00:56

My mum says it's an absolute midden!

0:00:560:00:59

This is the croft where Grannie Island lives

0:00:590:01:02

with her animals and hens.

0:01:020:01:04

This is the Redburn Bridge where I play poohsticks.

0:01:040:01:08

STICK SPLASHES

0:01:080:01:10

And I think it's the best place in the whole entire world

0:01:100:01:13

and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

0:01:130:01:17

# Katie Morag. #

0:01:190:01:21

Every day's special here on Struay, but Friday's my absolute favourite.

0:01:220:01:28

That's because Friday is Baking Day, and if you sniff really hard,

0:01:280:01:32

SHE SNIFFS

0:01:320:01:33

you can smell all the goodies people are making for the weekend.

0:01:330:01:38

Neilly Beag bakes meringues as big as a baby's head.

0:01:380:01:42

Mrs Baxter always bakes delicious strawberry tarts.

0:01:420:01:47

And the Nurse's jammy doughnuts are just fabbydo.

0:01:470:01:51

Dad normally bakes clootie dumpling,

0:01:510:01:54

but he'd gone to Glasgow for a couple of days.

0:01:540:01:57

-That's your breakfast on the table.

-Thanks, Mum.

0:01:570:02:00

And Mum doesn't really like cooking.

0:02:000:02:03

Anybody in?

0:02:060:02:08

'But there is one thing that she makes really well,

0:02:080:02:11

'and it happens to be my favourite - jelly and ice cream,

0:02:110:02:16

'especially when it's covered in sprinkles.'

0:02:160:02:19

-I hear the new teacher's paying you a visit.

-Aye, that's right.

0:02:190:02:22

-They're coming over next Friday.

-Oh, his wife said it was today.

0:02:220:02:27

She must have got mixed up.

0:02:270:02:29

I suppose you'll be giving them something fancy.

0:02:290:02:32

I...wouldn't have thought so.

0:02:320:02:35

You do know she's a pastiche!

0:02:350:02:37

-A what?

-A pastiche,

0:02:390:02:41

one of those that makes the fancy pastries and cakes.

0:02:410:02:45

-Well, she's written books on it and everything.

-Oh! A patissier.

0:02:450:02:49

A pastry chef.

0:02:490:02:52

I didn't know that. No! Ugh, well. Peter will be home by then.

0:02:520:02:57

He's the baker in the family.

0:02:570:02:59

Well, that's me.

0:02:590:03:01

-I'll see you later.

-Bye.

0:03:020:03:05

Well, that's funny, Mrs Mackie getting her dates mixed up.

0:03:070:03:12

They definitely said...

0:03:120:03:14

-Oh, no!

-What's wrong?

0:03:170:03:19

It's today.

0:03:190:03:21

SHE GASPS They're coming today.

0:03:210:03:24

What on earth am I going to make them?

0:03:240:03:27

Jelly and ice cream.

0:03:270:03:29

I don't think so.

0:03:290:03:30

Icing sugar...

0:03:340:03:36

tea...

0:03:360:03:38

Ah!

0:03:380:03:39

Here we are.

0:03:410:03:42

Cake mix.

0:03:430:03:44

It seems fairly easy.

0:03:460:03:48

Couldn't we just have jelly and ice cream too?

0:03:490:03:52

She's a pastry chef, Katie Morag.

0:03:520:03:55

You don't give pastry chefs jelly and ice cream.

0:03:550:03:59

Not even with sprinkles?

0:03:590:04:01

Not even with sprinkles.

0:04:010:04:03

I ran straight home after school that day.

0:04:090:04:12

I couldn't wait to see Mum's cake.

0:04:120:04:14

Hi, Mum. Is it ready yet?

0:04:210:04:23

-Just making the icing.

-Mum! You forgot to...

0:04:230:04:27

put the lid on.

0:04:270:04:29

'I thought it was a pity not to have icing,

0:04:320:04:34

'but Mum said it was a blessing in disguise.'

0:04:340:04:38

Ugh! Icing sugar's old-fashioned.

0:04:380:04:40

Mrs Mackie probably uses organic tofu on her cakes

0:04:400:04:44

or grated yam root.

0:04:440:04:47

'I wasn't sure what either of those things were,

0:04:470:04:50

'but I hoped we didn't have them in the fridge.

0:04:500:04:53

'They sounded horrible.'

0:04:530:04:55

At least we've still got the cake.

0:04:550:04:59

-Oh, no! FIRE ALARM:

-Fire!

0:04:590:05:01

FIRE ALARM BEEPS

0:05:010:05:03

MUM COUGHS

0:05:030:05:05

Keep wafting! Keep wafting!

0:05:050:05:06

-FIRE ALARM:

-Fire!

0:05:060:05:08

MUM COUGHS Window!

0:05:080:05:11

Oh! SHE SIGHS

0:05:110:05:13

Oh, great! Everything's ruined!

0:05:130:05:16

They're coming for their tea and I've nothing to give them.

0:05:160:05:20

How about jelly and ice cream?

0:05:200:05:22

You're right. Check the freezer.

0:05:240:05:26

Sardines, tinned tomatoes, horseradish...

0:05:290:05:33

Ah! Jelly!

0:05:330:05:35

Anything?

0:05:350:05:37

-Ice cream.

-Jelly and ice cream it is, then.

0:05:370:05:40

OK.

0:05:400:05:42

Now, this takes an hour to set.

0:05:420:05:44

They'll be here in 45 minutes...

0:05:440:05:46

I need more time. You'll have to hold them back a little.

0:05:460:05:50

How am I going to do that?

0:05:500:05:51

I don't know. Distract them. Use your imagination.

0:05:510:05:56

Think of it as a special mission.

0:05:560:05:59

Now, if there's one thing I have a lot of, it's imagination.

0:06:030:06:08

A little bit too much according to some people,

0:06:080:06:11

but I always knew it would come in handy one day.

0:06:110:06:14

I just had to think up a plan.

0:06:140:06:16

Katie Morag, I've just made the best meringues ever.

0:06:160:06:20

Can't today, Neilly Beag. I'm on a special mission.

0:06:200:06:23

'I always pop by Mrs Baxter's on Baking Day.

0:06:230:06:27

'She likes me to try out her strawberry tarts.

0:06:270:06:29

'It was one of my good deeds.

0:06:290:06:32

'I hated to disappoint her, but Mum was relying on me.'

0:06:320:06:36

By the time I got to the Nurse's house,

0:06:390:06:42

the whole special mission thing had started to seem

0:06:420:06:45

like a really bad idea.

0:06:450:06:47

If I didn't have some of her jammy doughnuts,

0:06:470:06:50

she'd eat them all herself and that couldn't be good for her!

0:06:500:06:54

Hello there. We were just heading over to your house.

0:07:050:07:08

I thought I'd come and meet you in case you got lost.

0:07:080:07:11

That's very kind of you.

0:07:110:07:13

-So, how are you liking Struay?

-I love it.

0:07:130:07:16

-Have you seen all the sights?

-Some of them.

0:07:160:07:19

How about the lighthouse? We could pop by now, if you like.

0:07:190:07:23

I was up there yesterday.

0:07:230:07:26

Bonnie Loch, then. It really is bonnie.

0:07:260:07:28

I know. We went fishing there last week.

0:07:280:07:31

'She'd hardly arrived on the island

0:07:310:07:33

'and she'd already been round it twice.

0:07:330:07:36

'It seemed like my plan wasn't working.'

0:07:360:07:39

How about the Giant Footsteps?

0:07:390:07:41

They're real footsteps made by real big giants.

0:07:410:07:44

Well, I haven't seen that.

0:07:450:07:47

Well, we don't want to keep your mum waiting now, do we?

0:07:470:07:51

I couldn't get them to do anything. They wouldn't even play poohsticks.

0:07:590:08:03

Just one go, please. I'll give you a head start.

0:08:030:08:07

We're late already, Katie Morag.

0:08:070:08:09

STICKS SPLASH

0:08:100:08:11

Come on, slow coach!

0:08:160:08:17

'But I wasn't going slowly enough.

0:08:170:08:19

'If I didn't think of something quickly,

0:08:190:08:22

'they'd be drinking our jelly through a straw.'

0:08:220:08:25

Of course! The best thing wouldn't take much time at all.

0:08:250:08:28

It's right here.

0:08:280:08:30

What's that, then?

0:08:300:08:32

Neilly Beag's unusually shaped vegetables.

0:08:320:08:36

His what?!

0:08:360:08:38

Better see for yourself.

0:08:380:08:39

My what?

0:08:430:08:45

Don't you remember the carrot that looked like Grannie Island?

0:08:450:08:49

-Oh, aye.

-And the spud that had the two little feet?

0:08:490:08:53

Och, that was a long time ago, Katie Morag.

0:08:530:08:57

-And a man's got to eat.

-Oh, well. Not to worry.

0:08:570:09:01

Wait!

0:09:010:09:02

Do you not have ANY left?

0:09:030:09:05

Well, I suppose I could take a wee look.

0:09:060:09:09

We really should be going.

0:09:090:09:11

-Next time, maybe.

-Aye.

0:09:110:09:13

Cheerio, then, and thanks again.

0:09:130:09:15

Here, here...

0:09:170:09:18

What's going on?

0:09:200:09:21

They're staying for tea.

0:09:210:09:23

-But I thought your dad was in Glasgow.

-Mum's cooking.

0:09:230:09:27

Oh.

0:09:270:09:29

-Oh, dear.

-We were going to have jelly, but it's not ready yet.

0:09:290:09:34

VOICES INAUDIBLE

0:09:470:09:50

VOICES INAUDIBLE

0:10:010:10:03

Stop!

0:10:170:10:19

Have you seen the Five Sisters?

0:10:200:10:22

-Well, they're kind of hard to miss.

-Do you know their names?

0:10:220:10:27

-Oh, I'm afraid I don't.

-I'll teach you them.

0:10:270:10:29

It's easier to see from up here.

0:10:330:10:35

Those two on the right are Ben More and Ben Bog.

0:10:370:10:41

The ones on the left are Ben Hur and Ben Beag.

0:10:410:10:44

-Got it.

-But can you guess what the in-between one's called?

0:10:440:10:49

I'm afraid I can't.

0:10:500:10:51

Ben In-between.

0:10:530:10:55

Well, I suppose that makes sense.

0:10:570:10:59

Well, come on, you two. We're late.

0:10:590:11:02

KNOCKS AT DOOR

0:11:120:11:13

Hello! How lovely to see you.

0:11:320:11:34

-Sorry we're late.

-Are you?

0:11:340:11:37

I didn't even notice. I hope you're hungry.

0:11:370:11:40

Oh, starving!

0:11:400:11:42

Oh, well, that's perfect. I hear you're a pastry chef.

0:11:420:11:47

-Years ago. I only cook for fun now.

-MUM LAUGHS

0:11:470:11:50

Oh, me too. In fact, I've gone for the fun theme this evening.

0:11:500:11:55

How exciting!

0:11:550:11:57

I hope you don't mind j...

0:11:570:11:59

Oh! Oh, wonderful!

0:12:050:12:07

Those meringues look set to float.

0:12:070:12:10

And those tarts, they're a work of art.

0:12:100:12:13

And what are these?

0:12:140:12:16

A miracle?

0:12:160:12:17

SHE SNIFFS DEEPLY

0:12:190:12:21

SHE SIGHS

0:12:210:12:22

They're super sticky jammy doughnuts.

0:12:220:12:25

I'll be wanting the recipe.

0:12:250:12:27

So will I.

0:12:270:12:29

-Sorry?

-I said, "Aye."

0:12:290:12:31

Hang on a minute.

0:12:330:12:35

-What's wrong?

-Have you been talking to someone?

0:12:350:12:39

-I...what...?

-Look, James.

0:12:390:12:41

Jelly and ice cream! I can't remember the last time I had it,

0:12:410:12:45

but it's my absolute all-time favourite.

0:12:450:12:48

And sprinkles too. How on earth did you know?

0:12:480:12:52

-Oh! Lucky guess.

-Lucky for me!

0:12:520:12:56

Oh, do you mind?

0:12:580:13:00

Be my guest.

0:13:000:13:02

So, that's how all those goodies had got there.

0:13:090:13:13

It wasn't a miracle after all,

0:13:130:13:15

just the nicest neighbours in the whole wide world.

0:13:150:13:19

Mum was in such a good mood, she said we could have

0:13:230:13:26

any bedtime treat we wanted

0:13:260:13:28

and you can guess what we asked for.

0:13:280:13:31

Night, night, my darling.

0:13:330:13:34

She said today had reminded her that the simplest things

0:13:340:13:38

in life are usually the best.

0:13:380:13:40

I'm not completely sure what she meant,

0:13:400:13:43

but I think it's just a fancy grown-up way of saying,

0:13:430:13:47

"Everybody likes jelly and ice cream."
