This lot should keep me busy today.

Don't forget this one, Pat, special delivery for Ajay.

It looks VERY important.

Special delivery, eh? I'd better take that one round straightaway.

Come on, Jess.

Bye, Mrs Goggins.

Oh...eh, bye, Pat.

Morning, Ajay.

Ooh... Ahh! Oh!

Letter for you.

I've been waiting for this.

The original documents for the Greendale Rocket.

It says here, "The Rocket was made exactly 100 years ago, today."

It's your birthday, old girl.

100 years old, eh? That calls for a celebration.

You can invite everyone here - have a birthday picnic on the platform.

Ay, Pat, I don't know.

Look at this mess!

And I'm running a busy service to Pencaster.

I won't have time to clean up, let alone organise a picnic.

Don't worry, Ajay.

When people find out it's the Rocket's 100th birthday,

they'll all want to help out.

I'll ask everyone on my round to bring something for the picnic.

-Do you think that would work?

-Of course. It'll be a Potluck Picnic.

Everyone brings something and we all share.

A Potluck Picnic, just for you!

Thank you, Pat.

Yes, Meera, there are lots of different kinds of celebration -

anniversaries, Christmas, Diwali, birthdays.

Now, what do you need for a good party?

-Balloons!

-And cakes!

-I wonder what WE can bring to the picnic, Jess?

-Miaow!

-Anything else you'd like in a celebration?

-Party games?

-That's a good one, Julian.

-And my dad really loves fireworks.

-Fireworks!

-Fantastic!

-Yes!

Fireworks, eh? That gives me an idea.

That's all we've got time for today, children.

-< DOOR OPENS

-Hello, Pat, is that for me?

Jeff, can I speak to the children?

Why, be my guest, Pat.

Children, Pat has something to say.

Today is a very special birthday.

-The Greendale Rocket is 100 years old.

-Oh!

And we could have a big picnic at the station, to celebrate,

with everyone bringing something different to eat.

Mr Pringle! Mr Pringle! How about a great, big fruit salad?

Why that's a good idea, Sarah.

Mmm...with bananas.

And apples!

Ted's still got that food chopping machine out at the watermill.

I could pick it up on my round and drop it off here, later.

That would be champion.

We'd better start collecting fruit if we're to have a fruit salad.

-Cool!

-Yes!

-Great!

A picnic? Ooh, how lovely!

-We could make a chocolate cake.

-We could make a lemon cake.

THEY LAUGH

How about you make two cakes? Plenty for everyone.

Good idea, Ajay.

Whoops! I better take the Rocket to Pencaster,

-we'll be running late, otherwise. See you later.

-Bye, Ajay.

-Bye.

Aye, I'd love to take summat along. What are you bringing, Pat?

Something special for Ajay and the Rocket -

a fireworks display. Do you know where I could get some from?

There's a shop in Pencaster sells 'em.

But how will I get to Pencaster and back in time to deliver this post?

You don't have to...

I've got plenty of fireworks leftover from the party last year.

-I could set up the display if you like.

-That would be grand, Ted.

Oh, yes, and can the children borrow your fruit chopping machine?

Course they can. I'll dust down my ice-cream maker as well

and make some of my special ice cream.

Mmm. I'll ask the children to get extra fruit for you to put in it.

Well, I just need to come up with a plan for the firework display.

Now, we just have to ice them.

BOTH: Ohhh!

-Maybe we'd better start again, huh?

-Good idea.

Of course I'll bring something. How about some of my homemade cheeses?

That would be grand, Julia. See you at the station later.

Bye, Pat.

A Potluck Picnic. Oh, lovely.

Can we have some fruit, Mum? For the fruit salad?

Of course you can, love.

There's loads of apples in the orchard.

Why don't you all go and see what you can find?

ALL: Thanks, Mrs Thompson.

Ooof! Ooh! By 'eck!

We can make heaps of fruit salad with all these.

Let's take this lot back and get started.

Hello, there. You all look very busy.

Hello, Mum, we're getting apples for the picnic.

Picnic, you say?

It's Pat's idea - to celebrate 100 years of the Greendale Rocket.

Well, that is worth celebrating, I must say.

If I could have a few of your apples, I'd make some apple turnovers.

Wey, that would be champion, Doctor!

Here you are, Dr Gilbertson.

Thank you, Meera. See you all later.

-Bye, Mum.

-ALL: Bye.

Finished at last. Come on, Jess.

Let's get this chopping machine over to the school.

The chopping machine! Well done, Dad.

That's going to save us a lot of work. Thanks, Pat.

Come on, children, we've got a lot of fruit to get chopped up.

Do you think you could spare a bit? Ted's planning to make ice cream.

-Have some blackberries.

-And cherries.

-And apples.

He-he-he! Thanks, everyone.

Ted'll make loads of ice cream with this little lot.

What are you bringing to the picnic, Dad?

Let's just say that Ted and I are planning a special surprise.

-Ooh!

-Oh!

-Ooh!

Thanks for the fruit, everyone.

All done. Now to sort out the fireworks.

Mustn't forget a big bucket of water for safety.

TED SINGS HAPPILY

-Wait here, Jess.

-Miaow!

I've got the fruit, Ted.

Wow, look at those rockets!

Oww! Oof! Thanks, Pat. By 'eck, heavy stuff water.

Watch out, Ted! Mind the...

fireworks.

WATER BUBBLES

Oh no, soaking wet. They'll never work now. I'm sorry, Pat.

-Never mind, Ted. It was an accident.

-But what about the display?

Mmmm. Can I borrow your phone? I'll try that firework shop in Pencaster.

Aye, er...it's just inside.

It's all sorted.

Ajay can pick them up from Pencaster on his final run in the Rocket.

Won't it spoil the surprise if Ajay sees the fireworks?

The shop said they'd wrap them up and leave them at Pencaster Station.

He won't know what he's collecting.

-Good thinking, Pat. See you later.

-Cheerio.

With everyone doing something

-this Potluck Picnic is going to be quite an event. Eh, Jess?

-Miaow!

MACHINE SQUELCHES

POLICEMAN GROANS

Just one more trip to Pencaster and I'm finished.

I told you we'd get it done in time.

Got to pick up a special delivery on the way back.

They said it was really important. Don't know why.

-Well, we'd better not keep you if it's important. Eh, Jess?

-Miaow?

Bye.

TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

-They both look nice but...uhh!

-I know what you mean.

-What's the matter?

-Oh, Pat, we've got two lovely cakes

but neither of them looks right for the Rocket's birthday party.

Which one do you think we should use?

-Well, eh...

-Yes?

-I think perhaps...

-Mmm?

Ahh!

If you use them both...

they look just like...

BOTH: The Greendale Rocket!

Oh, Pat, that's a great idea!

Come on, let's finish the icing. Thanks, Pat.

TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

I wonder what Pat's surprise is.

I don't know. Listen! Here comes your dad.

CROWD CHATTER EXCITEDLY

Well, I must say, this is quite a celebration. Thank you, Pat.

Last job of the day and it's for you. What is it, Pat?

You'll see, Ajay. You'll see.

I want to thank everyone for their contributions to the Potluck Picnic

and as a special present for Ajay and the Greendale Rocket...

Ted, are you ready?

Aye, Pat! Here we go.

Here you go, Ajay. Rockets for the Rocket!

-CROWD CHEERS

-Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!

# Postman, Postman Pat

# Can you guess what's in his bag?

# Is there a letter? MIAOW! Is there a parcel? MIAOW! #
