Hello, honey pie! Come along in and see who's at home today.

Who's here today? Well...

We've got Gary and we've got Molly!

Don't just sit there! Let's get busy, pickles!

You help Granny Murray with the babies, don't you?

That's a good girl. Aw, tuck them in, nice and warm.

# A wee walk in the park A wee walk in the park... #

Come and give the baby her wee bottle. Sit down, that's a girl.

Well, we've got Gary and we've got Molly.

But someone's missing from home today!

Oh, not any more!

Who's coming home to Granny Murray? Aw, it's Lisa, with Raymond!

Hello there!

-Raymond!

-Hiya, Granny Murray!

Aw, and Lisa!

Hee-hee! In we come!

Lisa is really looking forward to the picnic at Castle Garden today.

-Why don't you dress Claude up as a statue in the park?

-Yeah!

-Oh, the statues are great! They're so grand!

-Hmm!

I think I prefer to be a statue sitting down.

-THEY GIGGLE

-Come on, then!

What's this?

-Oh...what kind of statue are you?

-Guess.

-Julius Caesar riding his horse!

-Well done!

I'm gonnae...

Atchoo! GRANNY GIGGLES

Oh, we've a lot to do before our picnic!

But I'll get everyone to help.

-After all, many hands make light work.

-Absolutely.

Oh, will you look at Claude? He's a perfect statue!

Oh, Claude, how do you manage to stand so still?

-Here you are.

-Oh, thanks, Lis.

LISA GIGGLES

Claude, you are a real star.

Oh, bye, Lisa.

-Well, I'd better get to work.

-Come on, let's get you going.

Now, remember, many hands make light work.

-Thanks. You guys have a fun day!

-We'll be thinking of you.

Keep an eye on Raymond, make sure he gets the right way to work.

MUSICAL INTRO PLAYS

# I'm on my way to work today

# Walking my shoes through the city views

# Stepping along and swinging my arms

# Singing my way through the city's charms

# Getting there is just so fine

# I so enjoy my walking time

# I always know the way I go

-# Can you show me the way I go?

-Hey!

-#

OK - which way?

# Do I go left now? Or do I go right?

# Which way is wrong now? Which way is right? #

-Left!

-OK - left - to the station!

# I'm on my way to work today

# Looking this way and that-a-way... #

Hello, taxi!

Hello, tank!

Hello, trolley!

Hello, plank!

Hello, lorry!

Hello, bank.

# He's on his way to work today

# Looking this way and that-a-way! Hey!

# Do I go up now or do I go down?

# Which way's a smile now? Which way's a frown? #

-Up!

-Up.

# You told me the way I go

# Thank you - you showed me the way I know. #

Phew! Here we are!

So what next? Ah, yes. I have to get changed into my smart uniform.

All dressed and ready to go.

Once more onto the buffet car, dear friends.

-Hi, Mickey John!

-Ah, Raymond!

-Why aren't you in school?

-I'm taking my class on a history walk along the Roman Wall.

-Great!

It was an amazing wall. It's very old now.

People lived along it in Roman times. They built it so long ago,

from the bottom up, stone by stone.

I hope they don't all fall!

No! The wall lasted for years and the ruins are still there!

-Amazing!

-Isn't it?! History is just so exciting!

-What can I get you?

-Oh, a pineapple juice.

-That'll be a pound, please.

-OK. I must go and sit with the kids.

Oh, I wonder how my kid is doing.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal Riverseafingal, that's for me. #

-What have we forgotten?

-Apples.

-Apples, Hope!

That's a good girl! Thank you!

-Apple juice!

-Apple juice, Molly! Many hands make light work.

Oh... And what else do we need?

-Eccles cake!

-Of course we do!

Oh, we can't forget these! They're your dad's favourite!

'Are you having fun, Daddy?'

-GIGGLING

-They suit you.

-Oh, Bobby! What can I get you?

-A bottle of water, please.

-Er...

-I'm meeting Mickey John and the children to help on their walk.

-They're at the other end of the carriage.

-I see.

Actually...I'm worried about keeping the children amused.

You have good ideas. What would you do?

Hmm, well... Roman wall, Roman soldiers...

Oh, well, they marched along the wall.

So instead of walking along the wall, you march!

"Get in line and follow me!" Drum! Drum! Drum! Drum!

Roman soldiers on the wall!

Keep marching, while I serve this customer!

-Can I help you?

-Banana, please.

-Anything else?

-No.

-How am I doing, Roman General?

-Head high! Knees high!

-Anything else?

-No.

-That's 50p, please. Hail Caesar!

Soldier, halt!

Fantastic! I can't wait to go and tell Mickey John!

Now, forward march with my work!

-# I love my train

-He loves his train!

# Driver rushes through the lights! He pushes things far and wide!

# Wheels go round and round the track

# To guide the engine there and back

# I'm so happy being me

# Doing all the things I love to do

# Chocolate, lemonade or tea?

# I'm just very happy serving you

# I talk, talk, talk all day Making special moments on my way

# I'll tell a joke and toast some cheese on toast

# I walk, walk, walk all day Bringing smiles and happiness my way

# Being nice is what I love the most

# Tickets checked, looking fine Signal says we'll be on time

# Carriages rolling on behind See them go, every one in line

# I'm so happy being me

# Meeting all the people on the train

# Can I help and clear your things?

# If there is a problem, I'll explain

# Oh, I talk, talk, talk all day

# Weaving trolleys Weaving to the sway!

# I'll do a trick and make the journey quick

# I'll walk, walk, walk each way Loving all the things I do each day

# Bringing smiles and happiness my way

-# I love my train

-He loves his train! #

Ooh! What can I do for you historians, then?

The children are bored. Can you entertain them?

Oh! Right, young history buffs!

Line up. The tallest beside me and the shortest at the other end.

Now, Roman soldiers, when Roman General addresses you,

you stand still like statues.

Right, soldiers, Roman General says ride your horse!

Roman General says march!

Roman General says...salute!

Hail Caesar!

Is that all, folks?! THEY LAUGH

Brilliant! As usual, Raymond!

Ah, Lisa... How's my wee soldier doing?

Oh, I touched you!

Oh, tig!

Oh! Ah!

Behind you! Tig!

Granny Murray!

-Tig!

-Tig!

-Tig!

-Tig!

-Tig!

-Tig!

-Keep the noise down, kids. Consider the other passengers.

-Ssh!

Oh, they're really bored and hungry.

Lunch.

We WILL have our packed lunches before the walk?

Lunches? Oh, no! We've got a problem, Raymond.

-I was so excited, I forgot to tell the children to bring lunches.

-So?

Could you make them packed lunches?

All of them?! Oh-h!

Oh, Mickey John! If you'd told me when we left Riverseafingal,

there would have been lots of time. But where did the time go?

At 8 o'clock, I dropped Lisa off at Granny Murray's house.

Granny Murray was excited about going on a picnic to Castle Park

to look at the statues.

At 9 o'clock, Mickey John was on board the train with his class.

They were going to do a history walk. Mickey John told me all about it.

At 10 o'clock, Bobby came into the buffet car,

worried about keeping the children amused.

I solved her problem by suggesting they march along the wall.

Marching's great fun.

Around 11 o'clock,

the children came into the buffet car, this time very noisy.

So I entertained them.

At about 12 o'clock,

Mickey John was reminded it was nearly lunchtime.

He'd forgotten to ask the children to bring packed lunches.

It was then Mickey John asked me to make packed lunches for all of them.

Now, remember - many hands make light work.

Many hands make light work?

Lots of hands helping.

Lots of clean hands preparing things.

That's it! You know what, Mickey John? This might be possible.

Let's get these soldiers back on their feet and moving.

First we need to wash our hands. It's a race against time.

# I've got to do it I've got to do it

# I've got to beat the clock before the chime

# I've got to sort it I've got to sort it

# I've got to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong

# I'm going to finish this job before I finish this song

# Do we think he's going to do it?

# Do the job that needs to be done Will he know how to fix it?

# Will he finish what he's begun?

# Sure as we're friends He will get there in the end

# Because he knows what to do And he'll work it through

-# I've got to do it

-He's got to do it

# I've got to beat the clock before the chime

-# I've got to sort it

-He's going to sort it

# I've got to do the job on time

# Like a busy bee I'm going to beat that bong

# I'm going to finish the job Before I finish this song... #

CLOCK CHIMES

-We're arriving.

-Have we got everything?

-Walking boots.

-Check. Guide book?

-Check. Children?

-Check! Lunches?

Check! Right, soldiers, forward march.

Right, troops - three cheers for Raymond,

the best buffet attendant ever!

-Hip-hip...

-Hooray!

-Hip-hip...

-Hooray!

-Hip-hip...

-Hooray!

I wonder if Lisa knows her dad is the best buffet car attendant ever.

Wow!

Up you come.

Oh! Is that like being on a horsey?

Now, can you two pretend to be statues? ..Oh, brilliant!

Let me take your picture, and we'll show Dad when we go home.

Ready?

'Where are you, Daddy?'

-Hello, Raymond!

-Hiya, Granny Murray.

-Look who's here, Lisa.

-Hi, Lisa! Have you had a good day?

-We've had a fab day.

-Are you going to say thank you to Granny Murray?

-Thank you.

Oh, she's been the best girl, haven't you?

And it's a big thank you to you from me too, Granny Murray.

You said, "Many hands make light work." It saved the day.

Well, I never did! Come on, you two. You'll want to be off home.

-Bye-bye, my darlings. I look forward to next time.

-Me too.

Lisa, let's chat about our time away.

And I suppose you'll want me to tell you all about my time too.

# Well, there was...

# Waving, greeting, hello, meeting

# Dozing, eating, sleeping, fetching, sketching

# Painting, gluing, chewing

# Sticking up and wiping round

# Washing up and sloshing down

# Then there was

# Hugging, squishing, walking, pushing

# Dancing, dusting, choosing

# Talking, cooking, drying, cleaning

# Saving, laughing, joking

# Using things and rushing round

# Picking up and putting down

# Then there was

# Playing, running, creeping, jumping

# Chasing, painting, laughing, baking

# Bathing, dressing, singing, swinging

# Rocking, sliding, hunting, hiding

# Jumping up and turning round

# Dressing up and sitting down. #

But what was really special about today?

Well...

Claude was dressed as a statue,

because we were going to be seeing statues in the park later on.

At lunchtime, the children and I packed the picnic hamper together.

The goodies included Eccles cakes.

We had a great time in the park. The children played running games.

Then we put our rug on the grass and had our picnic lunch.

Once we had eaten, we pretended we were statues

and stood really still. Oh, it was great fun.

When Raymond collected Lisa,

he said he'd made lots of sandwiches with the help of many hands.

I hope you enjoyed yourself.

..Me too! Bye-bye, honey pie.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, that's for me

# Come on, get on down to the city... #
