0:00:05 > 0:00:10# Hello, my name is Mr Bloom and I'd like to come to see you soon
0:00:10 > 0:00:14# I'm out on the road, you see, here and there, so that we
0:00:14 > 0:00:17# Can get together and have some fun
0:00:19 > 0:00:22# I'll help you out if there's work to be done
0:00:24 > 0:00:26# So where is it you like to go?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Call me up and let me know
0:00:29 > 0:00:32# What is it you like to do?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34# I'll pop along and do it too
0:00:34 > 0:00:38# Cities, towns, the countryside I can travel far and wide

0:00:43 > 0:00:45# Here and there
0:00:45 > 0:00:48# I'm here and there. #
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Oh, hello there, Tiddlers. How are you tiddling?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Mr Bloom here and I like going out and about.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Yeah, I like going here and there and doing lots of fun things
0:01:02 > 0:01:04and finding out about new places
0:01:04 > 0:01:08and I've been wondering what you like to do where you live.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Perhaps you like to ride your bike in the park
0:01:10 > 0:01:13or go for walks in the woods with your family?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15ROUTE FINDER SOUNDS
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Brilliant. Someone's got in touch. Shall we see who it is? Yeah.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23I'm Beth and I like being outside with my family.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I like cycling with my brother and sister.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34We go to lots of different places.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41This is Callendar House and it looks like a fairy castle.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47I also get to ride my bike to school.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Have fun now. Bye! Bye!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58That's Callum and Amy.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Come visit us, Mr Bloom.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03THEY CHEER
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Sounds good to me. I'm on my way.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18# Whereabouts will I end up next?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22# Let's put my Route Finder to the test
0:02:24 > 0:02:27# It could be a beach, a village or a city, museum or a school
0:02:27 > 0:02:31# A garden so pretty a church or station, a river or town
0:02:31 > 0:02:33# I just can't wait till you show me around
0:02:33 > 0:02:37# Tiddlers, I'm on my way
0:02:37 > 0:02:42# So where am I today? #
0:02:46 > 0:02:50It keeps on coming out? Dig a little bit more then.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Make it go in. I think yours is ready, Beth.- Yes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Right, carefully. Plant it in.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Hey, hello there, Tiddlers.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02ALL: Hello, Mr Bloom!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05It's nice to see you today. It's nice to see you, Beth.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Thanks for inviting me. Now, are these all your friends?- Yes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:16- Can you introduce me? - That's Lewis, Callum, Luca and Amy.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22- And what have we got here, Tiddlers? - The Butterfly Bed.- The Butterfly Bed?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Is this where all the butterflies come? Is that right?- Yes.- I see.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29'Hey, look, the Route Finder's showing us
0:03:29 > 0:03:32'some butterflies in action.'
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Do you know why butterflies are important in the garden?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- They come and get the pollen. - That's right.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Butterflies and bees are really helpful for the garden cos
0:03:43 > 0:03:45they help pollinate the plants
0:03:45 > 0:03:49so we get all sorts of things growing in the gardens.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It also means we get yummy fruit on the trees.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Have you got any fruit growing here? - Over there.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Ooh, I think we should take a look. Come on.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Ah, we've got some cracking fruit here, haven't we?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Luca, what fruit have we got growing here?- Strawberries.- Strawberries?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Ooh, they're not quite ripe yet but they'll be nice when they are.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- What else have you got? - Blueberries.- Oh, yeah.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22They're green now but they'll be blue when they're ripe
0:04:22 > 0:04:27so we have to be patient, you see, because fruit can take time to grow.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31And I can see something else here that isn't a fruit.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- What have we got, Beth?- Lettuce. - Some lovely lettuce.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Now, it's a nice day today,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40nice and warm, so what do you think the plants would like?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Water.- Go on then, pick up those watering cans
0:04:43 > 0:04:46and give them a nice drink. There we go.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Hey, good job, Beth.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55That's just what they needed.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Now have you got any other fruit growing here, Lewis?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Yeah, apples over in the orchard. - You've got an orchard?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Well, Lewis, lead on!
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Wow, so this is your orchard, Tiddlers?- ALL: Yes.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Now, how many apple trees have we got here?- ALL: Ten.- Ten?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Let's count them. Here we go.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24One, two, three, four,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27five, six, seven,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29eight, nine, ten.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32You were right!
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- But those in the middle, they're not apple trees, are they?- No.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- What are they?- Pears.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41So, you've got two pear trees and ten apple trees.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- How many trees in total?- 12.- 12!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Come on, let's take a closer look.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52These apples are still very young, aren't they?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55You know, they've still got a lot of growing to do.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I heard there's somewhere near where we can find out about apples
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- and how they grow. Do you know where it is?- Callendar House.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Hey, you lead on. Let's go.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I've come to explore the gardens at Callendar House
0:06:13 > 0:06:15with Beth, Amy and Luca.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Wow, Tiddlers, this is a proper gem of a garden, isn't it?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Hey, those people,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34they must have a great view of this garden from their windows.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Hey, Beth, who's this? - It's Mrs Miller.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- She tells us about the apple trees. - It's nice to meet you, Mrs Miller.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Hello, Mr Bloom.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Now, you've got apple trees growing all over the place.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53We have apple trees growing up a pole.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55This one's a Galloway Pippin.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59It'll grow to a lovely, big, juicy, tasty apple.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- You made the most of the space, didn't you?- We did indeed.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05We even have a tree that's growing against a wall
0:07:05 > 0:07:07and, would you believe, we've got
0:07:07 > 0:07:10one low down that we call a step-over.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Oh, yeah, Luca's taking a closer look.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19So, Tiddlers, what do you think of these apples?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Are they ready to pick?- ALL: No. - No, of course not.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Isn't that right, Mrs Miller? - That's right, Mr Bloom.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27They're not ready to pick yet.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31We've got two nice big ones and three little ones, so we're going
0:07:31 > 0:07:35to take off the little apples to let the big apples grow more.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Hey, that sounds clever. Is there a special name for that?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- We call it thinning out the apples. - Right, so what do you reckon?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- Shall we thin out the apples? - BOTH: Yes.- Yes, come on then.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Hey, good work, Amy. - Let's take off the little ones.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, now you've taken these little apples,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- what's going to happen to the rest? - They're going to start growing.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Yeah, they'll grow bigger and bigger and bigger.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- When they are ready, do you know how they're picked?- No.- No?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09ROUTE FINDER SOUNDS
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Ooh, ay-up! I think the Route Finder wants to show us.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16There are lots of different types of apples.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Some are red, some are green and some are red AND green.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26When apples are big and ripe, it's time for them to be picked.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28They can be plucked by hand
0:08:28 > 0:08:31or a machine can shake them loose.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Look, it's raining apples!
0:08:34 > 0:08:38The juice from these apples is used to make drinks.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41The hand-picked apples are then washed and packed,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43ready for the shops.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Now, Tiddlers, I know something rather exciting about apples.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54If you get an apple, you cut it in half across its middle,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- you get a...- ALL: Star!
0:08:57 > 0:09:01That's right. It's a star. We've got a star shape.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05What do you think those are in the middle, the brown things?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- ALL: Seeds.- They're seeds. They're also known as pips.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12An apple pip was planted in this pot one year ago and, look,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14an apple tree has started to grow.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17A little tree like this is called a sapling.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- It's still got a lot of growing to do...- ALL: Yes.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22..before it turns into a big apple tree.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Tiddlers, would you like to plant some pips?- ALL: Yes!
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Yeah, let's plant some apple pips. Hold out your hands like that.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33That's it. Luca, I'll give you a pip there.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Amy, if you take the finger on your other hand, make a little
0:09:37 > 0:09:42wiggly hole in your pot, that's it, and then pop the pip in there.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Then cover it over.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Oh, hello, Mrs Miller. What have we got here?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- We've got a little crab apple, Mr Bloom.- Oh, an apple sapling.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- And how old is it?- Three years old now.- Three years old.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Oh, so this is a little Tiddler tree, isn't it?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Tiddlers, why don't you get this planted here
0:10:03 > 0:10:07and then the visitors to the garden will be able to enjoy it
0:10:07 > 0:10:09for years to come?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Go on, you get stuck in there.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Whilst you're doing that, I'm going to have a look at the kitchens
0:10:15 > 0:10:17in Callendar House.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27As well as the gardens,
0:10:27 > 0:10:32in here we can see what a kitchen looked like almost 200 years ago.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Oh, who's this?- Oh, hello.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I'm the cook here at Callendar House and I have a pie ready for you
0:10:38 > 0:10:40and the children.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Wow, look, a lovely pie!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I wonder, can you guess what's in this pie?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Have a look at the shape. Yeah.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's an apple pie!
0:10:53 > 0:10:58And this pie is cooled down and ready for you to take to the children.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Wow, it's ready to eat! Thank you. - Welcome.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Hey, well done, Tiddlers.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14That sapling looks great and I think it's going to grow nice and strong,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16just like all of you.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I hope you've washed your hands
0:11:18 > 0:11:22because I have got a special treat for you. Look at this.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- Delicious apple pie.- Wow! Doesn't that look good?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Because of you, Mrs Miller, and all of you, Tiddlers,
0:11:30 > 0:11:35we've now seen what happens when you go from pip to pie.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Tuck in!
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Oh, that pie was the business, wasn't it?- It was.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Well, thank you for inviting me here today, Beth.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I've had a cracking time but it's time I went so join me soon
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- when I'll be... - ALL: Here and there!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Bye!- Bye!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09# Where is it you like to go?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11# Call me up and let me know
0:12:11 > 0:12:13# What is it you like to do?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15# I'll pop along and do it too
0:12:15 > 0:12:18# Cities, towns, the countryside
0:12:18 > 0:12:20# I can travel far and wide
0:12:20 > 0:12:22# I'm all abouts and everywhere
0:12:22 > 0:12:25# I'm here and there. #
