Hey! Hello, there, tiddlers! Mr Bloom here.

I've been going here and there in North Wales

finding out where tiddlers live and what they like to get up to.

Today, the Route Finder has brought me here to Wrexham. Yeah.

I'm in a lovely park, down on the banks of the River Dee.

Now, I know lots of tiddlers that live here in North Wales

and they like to keep busy, doing brilliant things and...

DING-DING!

Ooh, looks like the Route Finder is going to show us.

There's a waterfall with fairies hiding in trees

and flowers filled with busy, buzzing bees.

Animals hide on trails to explore

and high up through the air, cable cars soar.

There's a tram to a mine that goes deep underground

and a house made of clay, all circular and round.

The sails of a windmill turn, making flour for bread

and people on ropes abseil up over your head.

Ha-ha! You can see why these tiddlers love where they live.

Hello! Now, this here is Carlos and he's a llama. Aren't you, fella?

And he lives here in Ty Mawr Country Park.

A bit later on, me and the tiddlers

will be painting a picture of him and his friend, Pedro,

and all the other animals that live in the park.

Go on, you have that.

Now, whilst I've been going here and there,

I've been collecting things for me logbook

so I can remember all the places I've been. I remember this.

Do you?

Ha-ha! Me and the tiddlers,

we used these when we were tasting some yummy honey that the bees made.

Branwyn, Tamsin and Tegid took me to the Ugly House.

We planted flowers for the bees

and I collected a frame from the hive so we could get some honey.

So, what are we doing next, Lisa?

You can see that there's a wax capping on top of here,

so the honey's not going to come out unless we cut that wax capping off.

-Wow! Can you see the honey dribbling out?

-I think it looks like cheese.

Like you're chopping cheese.

Right. So, what are we doing next, Lisa?

We're going to spin the honey out.

'Turning the handle makes the machine spin.'

That makes me feel dizzy!

'And the spinning makes the honey come out of the frame.'

Wow, so where do you think the honey's gone?

All the way to the bottom.

All the way to the bottom of the barrel?

Oh, it's very heavy. Urgh...!

-It looks like gold.

-It looks like treasure.

-Yeah.

Golden treasure, taken from the honey bees.

Mmmmm!

Hmm-hmmm.

I had a great time with my friends, Tamsin, Tegid and Branwyn.

And I also had fun when I went abseiling

with Immy, Ollie and Ben in their local park.

Ollie, who should you make sure you do abseiling with?

-A professional abseiler.

-Yeah.

We must only go abseiling at a special abseiling place.

What things would you need to go abseiling safely?

-Helmets.

-In case we bang our head.

That's right. Or something might fall on our heads.

-Ollie, is there anything else we need?

-A harness.

-That's right.

-Because we don't want to hold on to the rope with our hands, do we?

-No.

Excellent. That's it, keep pushing that rope through.

Oh, here he comes.

Good lad! He's doing well, isn't he?

It's really exciting!

He's almost there.

Yay!

Well done, Ollie! Top job!

I think it's my turn now.

Hey! Hello, tiddlers!

Whooooo!

Hello.

Here I come...

There we go.

And...touchdown!

Hee-heee!

Oh... That was a fantastic day, that.

Hey, and do you remember this one?

That's the tram ticket the tiddlers clipped.

Liam and Fraser took me for a ride on the tram

up a very high place called the Great Orme.

-It's a very steep hill, isn't it?

-Yes.

-Yeah.

How many people can this tram carry, Liam?

It can carry 48 people.

-48 people?

-Wow.

-Yeah, wow-wee.

Fraser, can you tell me how the tram works?

Well, when there's a tram coming down,

it sort of helps this tram go up.

Most trams have a cable on the top. This one has a cable on the bottom.

-Oh...

-This tram is the only one of its kind in Britain.

Oh, is that so?

-Oh, we're getting higher.

-Yeah.

-What can we see, tiddlers?

-Can you see there? There's the prom.

The prom, yeah.

-We can see the sea sparkling away.

-Yeah. From the sun.

Hey, so what happens now?

We get off at the halfway station.

Right, everybody off. Let's go. Ha-ha!

Now, the other day, I met some tiddlers called Meddy and Megan.

They live in this great place called Llynnon.

There's a roundhouse there that's made out of clay

and a windmill which actually makes flour.

-Hoo-hoo!

-Hello, Mr Bloom.

-Hello, Lloyd.

-It's a bit exciting in here, isn't it, tiddlers?

-Yes.

-Yes.

Wow! So, we're inside the windmill.

How does the windmill work, Meddy?

The wind makes the sails turn round

and then the sails make the cogs go round.

And the cogs help turn the grain into flour.

But, first, we need to start by pouring in the grain

at the top of the windmill.

You can see the cog even closer here.

Yeah. Look over there...

Right, then, tiddlers. We've got a great big bag of grain here.

-Where do you think we put it?

-In there.

-That's right.

And here we go...

Let's tip it up. Whoo-hoo!

It's like a big waterfall!

Here we go, last little bit...

Whoa!

Next, the grain comes down through the funnel

and the cogs move the stones against each other, which grinds the grain.

As the grain is ground, the flour is caught

and sent down the chute to the ground floor.

Whoooooo!

Hey, hey...

I've had a cracking time here in North Wales.

Today, I'm off to meet some tiddlers in the park. Do you fancy coming?

Hey, brilliant! Well, keep your eye out.

Hey, look who it is! It's Nancy and Elisha. Hello.

-Hello, Mr Bloom.

-Hello, Mr Bloom.

-Oh! Now, I know you, but who's this fellow?

-Grandad.

-Ah... Hello, Grandad!

-Hello!

I think someone's feeling left out.

-Who's this?

-BOTH: Winston!

Aw! Hello, Winston the donkey. It's nice to meet you. Yeah!

I hear you've been drawing pictures of the animals in the park here.

-Is that right?

-Yes.

-Can I see them?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Here you go...

-Wow! That's brilliant, Nancy.

-This is Winston.

-Wow! Do you like that, Winston?

We could put that up in your barn, couldn't we?

-What have you drawn, Elisha?

-The llamas.

-Wow! I can see that.

There's a blue one and a pink one.

-I've heard that you've got a job for me. Is that right?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Yeah? All right, well, let's go!

-Come on, then.

So, what's the job we're going to be doing today, Elisha?

-We're going to put animals on the shed.

-Really? Wow!

-Well, that sounds like a good idea. And who's this here?

-Marcia.

-Hello, Marcia.

-Hi, Mr Bloom.

-And what job do you do?

-I'm an artist.

-Really?

-Mm-hmm.

-I see.

So, why are we painting animals on this shed?

Lots of children from the community love coming to Ty Mawr.

And they love the animals.

So, we're including them on the building for them to enjoy.

And, for a helping hand, I've got just the tiddlers in mind!

Hey! Hello, tiddlers! Let's get paining!

TIDDLERS: Yeah!

Thanks for coming, guys.

The tiddlers have all drawn pictures of animals in the park.

Marcia has copied them onto the shed, making them very big,

so everyone can colour them in.

-Hey, Meddy, how are you getting on?

-OK.

-What are you doing?

-The duck.

-The duck?

Oh, I love ducks.

-What shall we do next, the tail?

-Yeah.

-What colour?

-Brown.

Hey, the picture's coming on grand, isn't it?

And the good thing is,

loads of people in the community use this space.

And, now, whenever they see this shed,

they'll see all the colourful animals of the park.

Hey, nice one, Immy! I'd better get to it.

Hey, that flower's coming on a treat.

That's it.

Hey, nice one.

Tiddlers, what do you reckon? Is it looking brilliant?

TIDDLERS: Yeah!

And, look, I've got the last bit of the picture here.

A stamp, which we're going to put on here. So, here we go...

ALL: Three, two, one...

Stamp!

Whooo!

TIDDLERS CHEER

Oh, well done, tiddlers. That looks brilliant!

-What do you reckon, Grandad Bill? You happy?

-It's wonderful.

I've had a cracking time today. Have you had fun?

TIDDLERS: Yeah!

Yeah, rightly so. And look at this fantastic picture.

But it's time I hit the road.

So, why don't you join me soon, when I'll be...

ALL: Here and there!

-You're right. Bye-bye, tiddlers! Bye!

-Bye!
