Get set, grow!

All tiddlers, ladies, gentlemen, mums and dads,

the time has come where I can say that

Mr Bloom's Nursery travelling fete is open.

So get set, grow!

Today I have brought my travelling fete over to Hartlepool

and I'm off out to go meet some tiddlers.

Hey, hello, tiddlers.

-ALL: Hello, Mr Bloom.

-It's Zac, Abby and Jack.

-Hey, are you having a nice time today?

-ALL: Yeah.

Well, I'm excited cos there's lots of things to see

and do for everyone at my fete. And the sun is shining.

-And what have you brought with you?

-I have some forget-me-nots for you.

Really? Is this it? Oh, some forget-me-not flowers.

My goodness me. What have you done to them?

We put them between two pieces of card

-and put a really heavy book on them.

-Wow. Did they take long to do?

-No.

They look brilliant. I'll tell you what,

I'll pop them in my pouch and I'll show them to the veggies later on.

So what is the first thing you're going to do today?

-I think I want to do the bug hunt first.

-Great.

Spotting loads of creepy crawlies.

What's the first thing you'll do, Jack?

The veggie Olympic course.

The veggie assault course. Sounds good.

-And what about you?

-I think I'm going to do both.

Well, you have a lot of fun and I'll take...

-What did I do with those flowers?

-In there.

-Oh, you're right.

I'm always forgetting things, me. Mind like a sieve.

Well, there we go. Forget-me-nots for Mr Bloom.

You run off, have fun and will you come and see the veggies later on?

-ALL: Yeah.

-All right. Goodbye.

-No, no, no.

-I think you are wrong.

-No, no, no. I can remember.

-Well, at least I think I can remember.

-Hey, Margaret.

Look at these pretty flowers. They are called forget-me-nots.

-Aren't they nice?

-Oh, yes, they're beautiful.

You remember to forget something.

What are Raymond and Joan arguing about?

I remembered to forget something.

They're trying to remember all the fun we've had during our travels.

Did we meet Barry in Barry

and get that new key in Newquay or was it another way round?

I definitely defeated the big, green, fire-breathing dragon

-last Tuesday. I can remember that.

-Oh, Raymond.

-We are talking about things we have done in real life.

-Oh, right.

-Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

-What's going on here, veggies?

Mr Bloom, I am a very flustered fennel.

She can't remember when she defeated Lord Appleby

and the Knights of King Artichoke.

No, I can't remember all the fun things we have done

since we've been travelling around, Mr Bloom.

I've collected all these bits and bobs

-and I'm getting confused as to where they came from.

-Oh, dear.

-Sounds like you are in a bit of a pickle, Joan.

-Oh, no, no.

This is the pickle, Mr Bloom. We got it from the new market in Newmarket.

-Hey, Colin, how is it going in the cream tea tent?

-Scone!

Yeah, I know. We serve scones in the cream tea tent.

-No, jam scone.

-Yeah, I know. Jam, scones, cream.

It's all very delicious.

-No, jam's gone.

-Oh, sorry. The jam's gone.

You mean it's run out? Well, that's OK. What?

You mean it's disappeared? It's run out?

What are we going to serve with the scones?

-Oh, what about this pickle?

-Raymond, that would be disgusting.

OK, some of you stay here. Take control of the situation.

One of you will have to come with me to get some jam.

Compo, which is the best veggie for the job?

WHISTLE BLOWS

-It's you, Margaret. Brilliant.

-Hooray.

Colin, keep things under control at the cream tea tent, all right?

We'll get you that jam. Come on, Margaret. Bye, veggies.

ALL: Bye!

# Off on an expedition

# Me and a veggie on a little mission

# Don't delay Let's make our way

# I wonder what we'll see today

# Off on an expedition

# Me and a veggie on a little mission

# Lots to see, lots to show

# Come on, Margaret, let's go

# Margaret you are so gentle and kind

# A nicer cabbage you couldn't hope to find

# I like being out just you and me

# Because I want a big adventure See?

# Off on an expedition

# Me and a veggie on a little mission

# On my friends I can depend

# It's lovely having time to spend

# We're off on an expedition

# Me and a veggie on a little mission

# Off we go, just us two

# On an adventure Me and you. #

Why are we in this field, Mr Bloom?

This is where Compo's route-finder told us to come.

But I'm not sure why. I can't see any jam here.

-Oh, maybe those tiddlers know.

-Oh, good idea.

-Hey, hello, tiddlers.

-ALL: Hello.

Hey, now, it was Loby, Tully and Mook. Is that right?

I'm Luke.

I'm Toby.

I'm Molly.

-Oh, I got a bit muddled up, didn't I?

-ALL: Yes.

Tiddlers, we need some jam.

Yeah, cos you know what? Back at the tent, Colin's making cream teas

-and he's run out of jam.

-Do you know where we could find some?

We could make jam out of all these strawberries in this field.

Oh, that's a good idea. Come on then, tiddlers, let's get picking.

We could make a lot of jam out of all the strawberries in this field.

Oh, that's a good one, Molly.

Oh, look at that one.

These strawberries look scrumptious, don't they? Yeah.

What does a really, really good strawberry look like?

Big and it's red and it has no green bits and no mould.

Just like this one.

Oh, I agree with you.

-Oh, a rotter.

-You've found a rotter.

-Yeah.

Oh, let's see it.

Oh, he looks a bit worse for wear. Why is it bad?

It has been bitten by

either a snail, a slug

or a worm.

What kind of face would you pull if you ate that?

Yeah.

Oh, these are delicious strawberries.

Hey, you cheeky cabbage, don't eat all of them.

We'll need some for later.

Right, tiddlers, we've got

some lovely strawberries that I've just washed.

Now, what I'd like you to do is take the stalks off.

Do you think you can do that?

-ALL: Yes.

-Let's get cracking. Come on.

All this lovely fresh fruit

-is not going to stay fresh for very long, is it?

-ALL: No.

By turning strawberries into something else like jam

it means that we can make it last for a lot longer.

So, tiddlers, what we need to do now is the mushing, OK?

This is where we get to squish all the fruit.

Wowee. We'll have some nice chunks of strawberry for our jam, won't we?

So, I'm going to whizz these over to the kitchen

and I've got a special job for you tiddlers, OK?

Cos no jam jar would be complete without some lovely labels.

All right then, tiddlers. You get to it and I'll get to the kitchen.

Oh, hello, tiddlers. Who is drawing a strawberry?

-Me.

-Me.

-Good idea.

Then we will know it is strawberry jam.

Now, making jam is a lot of fun but it is also quite easy to do.

All you need is to add a few ingredients and heat it up.

That means it is going to get very, very hot

so if you want to make some jam, make sure you cook it with an adult.

Right, I'd best get to work.

So, all the ingredients are in.

Oh, it's smelling good as well. I can't wait.

Oh, what lovely colours you are using. That is so good.

Hey, all right, Margaret. All right, tiddlers.

Look, the jam has cooled down so it is safe to put

it in its pots. Here comes the jam.

That's brilliant.

-There we go. Is that full?

-Yes.

OK. We are done there. Can I have your label, Luke?

Thank you. Here we go.

Our first batch of tiddler jam for Colin.

There we go, tiddlers. Four jars of yummy, scrummy jam.

And I think it is going to go down a real treat at the fete.

So let's count them in.

One,

two,

three,

four.

Well, that was top work. Thanks for your help today.

-All right, Margaret, let's get going. Bye-bye.

-Goodbye.

Oh, no. Big queue bean. Come on, Mr Bloom.

Have you got any jam, Colin?

No jam. Special offer today - baked beans.

ALL: No.

Pickled egg.

ALL: No.

We're back. It took us a bit longer than we thought

but we've got you your jam.

-ALL: Yeah!

-Scone, jam, scone, jam! Yeah!

Now there is jam for everyone. Phew!

Hey, I wonder what Abby, Zac and Jack are up to.

Hello, tiddlers. Oh, you're getting so arty.

Please may I have a small leaf?

Oh, look, you're all working so hard.

Oh, tiddlers.

These are the most beautiful leaf drawings that I have ever seen.

-Abby?

-Yes?

-Could you show me your picture?

Oh, magnifique. Where are you going to put

your lovely, lovely picture of the leaves?

-In my room.

-This is so magnifique.

Perhaps you will become a Leaf-onardo Da Vinci.

-Goodbye.

-ALL: Bye.

That can't be right, Raymond, we haven't been to Australia.

I don't remember.

I thought we got the clover from Dover and the fork from York.

Hey, look what I found outside at the fete, veggies.

It's Jack, Zack and Abby.

VEGGIES: Hello, tiddlers.

Thank goodness you are back. Me and Raymond can't remember anything.

Yes, I can't remember if I'm the fennel or the squash.

We're going to forget everything about all the places we've been to.

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Well, let's see, I'm sure we can figure something out.

-Tiddlers, have you ever been on a holiday or some sort of trip?

-Yes.

-What did you do to help you remember all of it?

-Get a souvenir.

-A souvenir. That's a good idea.

-Mr Bloom, what's a souvenir?

A souvenir is something that you bring back from your holiday.

Oh, yeah.

-I can see you veggies have got lots of souvenirs here, haven't you?

-Yes.

You just need a way of remembering which is which.

WHISTLE BLOWS

Hey, look, I think Compo's got something he wants to show us.

This is what me and Margaret got up to earlier on.

We had a great time picking fruit

and tasting some of it with the tiddlers.

You're right there, my leafy friend.

You showed us that strawberries don't stay fresh for long

and by turning the fruit into jam we can make it last longer.

What did you tiddlers get up to outside at the fete?

-We did some leaf rubbing.

-Leaf rubbing.

You made some pictures, did you?

Your pictures will help you remember your day at the fete forever.

I'm wondering maybe we need to make something to help

you veggies remember all your adventures. What do you think, Abby?

-I make a scrapbook and put lots of pictures in.

-A scrapbook.

-Perhaps we could make a memory scrapbook.

-Oh, lovely.

Hey, Compo, can you help us out here? Oh, typical.

It sounds like Compo needs feeding.

Hello, everybody, I hope you're having a lovely time

but we have got a hungry compostarium on the premises

so if you have got any compostable bits and bobs, please,

put them in the nearest funnel. Thank you very much.

# Grass and weeds and leaves from trees

# Thistles that prickle and petals that tickle

# Brown stuff, green stuff Sticky stuff, icky stuff

# Crunchy bits, munchy bits Snappy bits, sappy bits

# Yesterday's yums Chopping board crumbs

# It's not fussy what's in its tum

-# My awesome Compostarium! #

-TING!

It's full.

Oh, good old Compo.

This colourful paper will be perfect for making our memory scrapbook.

-Hello, tiddlers.

-Hey, Colin. Thanks for doing the cream tea tent.

-Do you want to join us to make the memory scrapbook?

-Scrapbook bean!

Right, tiddlers. Are you going to make the cover?

Going to colour that in. Shall we get some of these pictures?

Put a big dollop of glue on there.

Hey, we've got our first page. Check it out.

-RAYMOND:

-Oh, that's lovely.

Hey, veggies, we have had lots of adventures, haven't we?

Oh, Colin, you met a bat. Oh, yeah.

Batty bean.

You have had adventures too, haven't you, Raymond?

All this lavender makes me feel really, really sleepy.

That's me and Margaret in a pea viner.

Oh, it was a huge machine.

-That looks great. It's just what we need.

-There we go.

Now it's got a front cover, all the pages will be nice and protected.

-Oh, great making, tiddlers.

-Hey, let's see what's happening outside.

Oh, right.

Oh, it's busy. That's what I like to see.

Hey, Barb, everyone is going to remember this fete for a long time.

How do you know that, Tom?

Cos they will be exhausted after all this.

-Hey, come on, Barbara.

-Come on, Tom.

-ALL: Hooray!

-We have finished.

-That's grand, that is.

Well done, all of you. Look, we have got a scrapbook to keep forever.

-Big book bean!

-Yeah, you're right there, Colin.

-You know, we've got a lot of good memories, haven't we?

-Oh, no.

-I just realised something.

-What's that, Joan.

There isn't anything in the book to help us remember

-the adventure we had today.

-Oh, my. You're right, aren't you?

What can we stick in the scrapbook for today?

Bonjour, my little scrapbookers. I have a little suggestion for you.

-TIDDLERS: The forget-me-nots.

-Hey, that's a brilliant idea.

Although I don't know how they got over there. No mind.

-Go on, Jack, go and grab them.

-Thank you, Sebastian.

-You're welcome, Jack.

-Look.

They can go in the last page of the scrapbook. That's it.

Oh, that's the perfect memory of today, isn't it?

Thanks, Mr Bloom.

Well, Mr Bloom, I always remember the fun we've had by singing a song.

-Hey, you're not wrong.

-Hit it!

# We were forgetting all the good times we'd been through

# Fruit lasts longer when it's jam and suddenly then we knew

# We have our scrapbook now and that's a job well done

# So I think we all deserve

# To sing and dance and have some fun

# La, la-la, la-la-la-la

# La, la-la, la-la-la

# La, la-la, la-la-la-la

# La-la-la, la-la-la

# La, la-la, la-la-la-la

# La, la-la, la-la-la

# La, la-la, la-la-la-la

# La-la-la, la-la-la

# We've had a busy day

# How the time flies

# You veggies must be tired

# Let's bed you down

# Shut your eyes. #

Come on, Margaret, Colin, Raymond, Joan and Sebastian.

Oh, settle down you cheeky Wee MacGregors.

It's time for a snooze.

Hello, Zac. Sleepy bean.

That makes me all sleepy.

We're going to remember you forever and ever and ever, aren't we?

# Nap time, veggies

# Sleep tight, veggies

# Just listen to my gentle tune

# Nap time, veggies... #

See you again.

# Sleep tight, veggies

# You'll wake up and play soon. #
