Seaside Mr Bloom's Nursery

There is a place

Not far from here

I'm sure you know it

It's ever so near

Come down the path

And you will see

A little gate

To Mr Bloom's Nursery!

Hello!

# This is my allotment

# There's such a lot to see

# With my Compostarium

# There is no place I'd rather be

# Have you been here before or not?

# Let me show you what I've got

# A spade, a fork and my wheelbarrow

# Cabbage, runner beans Tomatoes and a marrow

# A watering can A trowel, some seeds

# Radish, lettuce A couple of weeds

# With my veg and plants

# I can sing and dance

# See them sprout Watch them grow

# Pop along and say hello

# There's so much they can teach us all

# We'll laugh and learn We'll have a ball

# It's such a special place to be

# In my veggie nursery. #

Hello, Joan. That's a funny-looking vegetable!

That's not a vegetable.

It's a seashell.

Ooh!

And if you listen to a seashell like this,

you can sometimes hear the sound of the sea.

-Ooh! Can I have a go?

-Yeah.

Go on.

RAYMOND LAUGHS

Oh, oh, oh! Joan, Joan!

I can hear the sea.

I love the sea.

And I love the sun too.

But do you know what I love best of all?

Is it manure, Joan?

No. It's not manure.

I love playing by the seaside on a lovely sunny day.

Well, it's a lovely sunny day today.

Is it? Oh, well, in that case, let's go!

Yeah! Go where?

Where there's sunshine and sand.

-The play park!

-No!

Somewhere where there's ice creams.

Oh, right! The supermarket.

No, Raymond! The seaside.

Let's go to the seaside!

The seaside. Yeah!

-Now why didn't you say that before?

-Oh, Raymond.

Let's go and get ready.

I wonder if there's anything else you can hear.

WHISTLE BLOWS

Wow. That was amazing.

Sounds like the tiddlers are here!

Hey there, tiddlers.

Come and take a seat. It's Andy,

Emma and Adam.

It's nice to see you.

Now, can you tell me what type of weather

-have we got today?

-Cloudy.

-But I tell you what.

I've got news for you -

the weatherman says

it's going to change.

We'll have a bit of sun later on.

Now, I thought you could do me a favour, perhaps.

I've got these lovely cherry tomato plants and they need planting.

Could you help me find a nice sunny spot for these cherry tomatoes?

-ALL: Yeah!

-Yay, that's good!

I'm going to give this one to you, Adam.

-Emma, this yellow one's for you.

-Thanks.

-And this one's for you, my little mate.

-It's red.

-That's right.

-Like Adam's.

I've got my trowel.

You've got the tomato plants.

Let's go and find a nice sunny spot to put them in my nursery.

Come on, tiddlers.

They'll get loads of sunshine here.

Hey, tiddlers, come in,

come in!

We've found a brilliant place where your tomato plants

can get loads of sun.

We'll dig a hole for yours first, Andy. Here I go.

# Dig, dig, dig

# Dig, dig, dig

# Dig, dig, dig a big hole. # There we are.

Very good. Put it in the hole

and then push the soil around. That's it.

I'll dig you a big hole here.

Firm down the soil. All right.

I'll pop the plant in there.

Then you push the soil in around, Emma. That's it.

Firm it down.

I think our tomato plants will be very happy here.

Now, we just need to put this up and then we'll know what we planted.

It's a picture of a tomato. So let's put it in there.

Now, do you like it when it's sunny?

-ALL: Yeah.

-Yeah?

Well, plants love the sun.

It's because the sun is where plants get their energy from.

But plants love something

-just as much as they love sunshine.

-ALL: Rain!

Rain, that's right.

They love the rain.

But I don't think we'll get much rain today.

Why don't we go and ask Compo if he can help us out?

-Yeah!

-Yeah? All right then, tiddlers.

Off to Compo.

Right, Compo.

The tiddlers here, they've got something they'd like to ask you.

Shout into here so Compo can hear you,

nice and loud.

ALL: We want some rain!

CHILDREN LAUGH

Oh!

Compo, stop, you cheeky thing!

Stop the rain!

Oh, my word.

Did you get wet?

-No.

-I didn't!

I got a soaking on my leg!

What a cheeky Compostarium.

Right.

Oh!

Sounds like Compo's put something in the drawer for us, though.

Watering cans!

That's right.

You know what?

I think Compo wants us to make our own rain.

OK, let's go.

OK?

Come on.

These tomato plants will be very happy, eh, tiddlers?

And do you know why? Because plants love the sun and...

ALL: The rain!

That's right.

And in fact, they might grow up to be

as big and red and juicy

-as these ones.

-Can we eat them?

-Would you like to eat these tomatoes?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

They look very tasty, don't they?

CHIMES RING

Oh, that sounds like Compo.

Do you think he's hungry?

ALL: Yeah!

Right, well, hop to. Let's go feed him.

# 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!

ALL: It's full!

Hooray!

Stand back, tiddlers.

Here goes Compo!

CHIMES JINGLE

RAYMOND LAUGHS

OK, tiddlers. Are you ready to meet the veggies?

ALL: Yeah!

# Meet the veggies

# We're the veggies

# They grow here in my nursery

# Meet the veggies

# We're the veggies

# And we love Mr Bloom

# That's me! #

Right. Come on, tiddlers,

let's go and say hello to the veggies.

Hello, tiddlers.

Hello, tiddlers.

Mr Bloom, Mr Bloom, can we go out for the day?

Well, there's a thought.

Where were you thinking of going?

Well, guess!

Can you guess, tiddlers?

Yeah!

Where, where, Andy?

To the beach.

-Ohhh!

-Why do you think the beach, Andy?

Cos they've got sunglasses on and swimming costumes.

Sunglasses and swimming costumes!

He's right. The seaside!

It's such a lovely, sunny day.

We're off to the seaside!

Seaside bean!

Seaside bean!

RAYMOND LAUGHS

I've already packed for the beach. Look!

OK. Ooh, it's very heavy!

Now, Andy, what have we got in here?

-Stones.

-They're stones.

Hey, Raymond,

I'm not sure it's the best idea to take pebbles to the beach.

There's probably enough of them there already, tiddlers!

Yeah, there's a lot.

-They're all over the beach, aren't they?

-Yeah.

So, tiddlers, what do you think Joan and Raymond

could take to the beach instead?

-Sunglasses.

-Oh, yes.

Have you got your sunglasses?

I can see them.

Yes, I've got my sunglasses.

They could even take a sunhat if they wanted to.

Oh, yeah!

-Sunhat!

-There's a good idea.

WHISTLE BLOWS

Hey! Looks like Compo's got some ideas.

Shall we see what he's got?

Come on, tiddlers, over here.

What have we got here, tiddlers?

I've got umbrellas.

You've got some umbrellas.

What have you got?

I've got a shiny yellow hat.

Yeah. That's called a sou'wester.

And how about you, Adam?

I've got some nice dinosaur wellies.

Wow! Dinosaur wellies.

Dinosaur wellies? They're not for wearing

in the sun at the seaside!

They're for wearing in the rain.

Why is Compo giving us rainy things to wear?

ALARM SOUNDS

Uh-oh. This sounds important.

What is it, Compo?

Hello.

Here is the weather forecast for the seaside today.

It's going to be rainy on the sand,

rain along the beach,

rain, and in the sea,

rain. Rain, rain, rain, and even more rain!

HE LAUGHS

Ahem. Yes, well. That's the weather forecast for the seaside today.

Oh, so that's why

Compo gave us all this wet-weather stuff.

It's bad news, I'm afraid, veggies. It's raining at the seaside.

VEGGIES: Awww!

But I really love the sunshine, Mr Bloom.

Ohhh.

Does this mean we can't go?

-I'm afraid so, Raymond.

-VEGGIES: Ohhh.

Sad bean.

Oh, dear. Know what, tiddlers?

I think these veggies need cuddles. What do you think?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

All right, come on. Give them a big cuddle

to make them feel better.

Thank you, Adam.

Aw, thank you.

Thank you, Emma.

Thank you, Andy.

But I think I need some time on my own.

WHISTLE BLOWS

Let's see what Compo's got for us, eh? Oh!

Hey, Emma, what have we got here?

-Bucket and spade.

-A bucket and spade.

-And what might you use that for?

-For making a sandcastle.

Making sandcastles.

That's not all. What do you think that is, Andy?

-A crayon.

-A yellow crayon.

What can you use that for?

-For drawing.

-And look at this.

I've got this picture of a sun.

Could you colour that in?

Ooh. Well, Adam, can you get the last thing out of the drawer?

Now, what have we got there?

-A towel.

-And what colour is it?

Yellow.

A yellow towel.

Well, look, I've got this here. This is a windbreak.

And you might put this into the sand on the beach.

So, we've got all these seaside-y things.

What do you think Compo's trying to tell us?

We can make the seaside inside.

That's right! We can make the seaside inside.

And I think Joan would really love that. Do you?

ALL: Yeah!

Ha ha! Woo-hoo!

I'll get my fingers out.

Oh, it came out my hands!

ADAM LAUGHS

OK, hold on to it. We'll unroll it and give it a bit of a shake.

What colour is it?

Yellow.

Do you like the seaside, Emma?

Yeah.

Here it comes... now let's push in here.

Hey-hey!

-Does that go up there like that?

-No!

No?

Hooray!

-Well! Well done, everyone.

-Mr Bloom!

It's just like the seaside in here!

Do you need some extra pebbles?

That's a good idea, Raymond.

We could pop them around the bottom of the sandcastle,

eh, Andy?

Yes, please, yes, please.

Oh, look.

That's right. One either side of the door.

Oh, Joan's really going to like this.

Joan's really going to like what?

ALL: Surprise!

# Oh, we do like to be beside the seaside

# Oh, we do like to be beside the sea... #

Whoa, whoa!

Hang on, hang on a minute. Colin!

Joan, what are you wearing?

I'm wearing my rainy-day things.

Rainy-day things? But why?

We've built an inside sunny seaside for you because...

well, we thought you loved the sun!

Oh! Well, thank you very much, everybody.

I do love the sun.

But I suddenly realised that I love the rain too!

Yes,

I love the rain as well. In fact, I love the rain the most.

Or is it the sun? No, no, no.

I love the rain. No, no.

Actually, the sun. Er, actually...

I love the sun.

And the rain too.

I guess the Wee MacGregors love the rain and the sun too?

WEE MACGREGORS AGREE

Sunny bean,

rainy bean.

Sunny bean, rainy bean.

Sunny, rainy bean!

VEGGIES LAUGH

So, this way we're ready to play come rain or shine.

So, Joan, what's it going to be?

Are we going to play outside in the rain

or inside at the sunny seaside?

Mr Bloom, can we stay in here

and pretend it's raining at the seaside?

Oh, you're a funny fennel.

Of course we can!

VEGGIES CHEER

Come on, tiddlers. Here we go.

We're going to need our umbrellas for this.

There we are, here's one for you, Andy.

And there's one for you, Adam.

And there's a pink one here.

Who do you think this one's for?

-Who's this one for?

-Emma.

It's for you, Emma!

Hey, now come on, we're at the beach!

And it's all nice and sandy here, but it's raining, so, quick!

Get under the umbrellas!

Is there room for me?

Can I come under an umbrella?

Hello, my friends!

Oh, Sebastian, hey.

Now, what about you?

Do you prefer the sun or the rain?

Ooh! I love the sunshine.

I also love the rain!

In fact, I love singing in the rain!

Mmmm. That reminds me of a song.

Hit it!

# Raymond and Joan wanted

# To go to the seaside

# But because it rained, we made

# A seaside scene here inside!

# We learned that plants need rain

# Just like they need sun

# 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

# So now you veggies must be bedded down

# For the night. #

Come on, Margaret,

Colin, Raymond, Joan and Sebastian.

Settle down, you cheeky Wee MacGregors.

It's time for bed.

Oh, thank you, Adam.

Thank you for coming to see us.

Thank you for today.

Night-night.

# Night-night, veggies

# Sleep tight, veggies

# And listen to my gentle tune

# Night-night, veggies

# Sleep tight, veggies

# We'll see you again soon. #

Shhh!
