0:12:33 > 0:12:35Greetings, adventurers!

0:12:35 > 0:12:40I am William Whiskerson, the famous mouse explorer!

0:12:41 > 0:12:44William is in the countryside.

0:12:44 > 0:12:50He can see fields, trees, some houses, and lots of sheep.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Cheesephone, reveal my location!

0:12:56 > 0:13:01The Cheesephone shows William where he is on a map of the world.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Hello, William. Today, you're in a county called Shropshire,

0:13:07 > 0:13:10in the West Midlands of England.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15Look, I've got a message coming through on my Cheesephone.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Hello, William Whiskerson. My name is Euan.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Do you want to come and see my grandma and grandpa

0:13:21 > 0:13:23and have an adventure?

0:13:23 > 0:13:26That sounds like an amazing adventure!

0:13:26 > 0:13:30Lock the location, Cheesephone!

0:13:32 > 0:13:35The map shows William where to meet Euan.

0:13:38 > 0:13:39Explorers away!

0:13:41 > 0:13:45William sets off to meet his new friend Euan

0:13:45 > 0:13:48and comes across some very colourful houses.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Euan's grandparents live in a village -

0:13:51 > 0:13:54but this is no ordinary village, as William is about to find out.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Pleased to squeak you!

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Pleased to squeak you, William!

0:13:59 > 0:14:00Pleased to squeak to you.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03This is a very special place to live, in our village,

0:14:03 > 0:14:06and we'd be happy to show you around.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Ah, that sounds really exciting!

0:14:09 > 0:14:12(ALL): Explorers away!

0:14:13 > 0:14:18Euan's grandparents live in a special place called an eco-village.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22In an eco-village, the houses and the land around it

0:14:22 > 0:14:27are built to help people to use food, water

0:14:27 > 0:14:30and energy carefully so they don't waste them.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33This helps them live happily together

0:14:33 > 0:14:36and also helps look after the planet.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41Your village is beautiful!

0:14:41 > 0:14:42It's lovely.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Why are the houses all so different?

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Because they're built in a different way, William.- How?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Well, they're built using old bricks and old tiles

0:14:51 > 0:14:56from old buildings to make these new ones.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Oh, I see! - They're recycled bricks and tiles.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Recycled?- Mmm.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04There's lots more to see inside. Would you like a look?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Yes, please!- Come on, then.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Inside the house, it looks like any other home

0:15:12 > 0:15:16with a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20But in the hall, Euan shows William a special box.

0:15:20 > 0:15:25- You know up on the ceiling outside? - Yes?- There's solar panels

0:15:25 > 0:15:30and this tells you how much electricity it's created.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32How does it do that?

0:15:32 > 0:15:37It turns the light from the sun into electricity.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40The red box shows the explorers

0:15:40 > 0:15:43how electricity is made from the sun's energy,

0:15:43 > 0:15:47which is being soaked up by the solar panels on the roof.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49By using the sun's energy,

0:15:49 > 0:15:53the homes in the eco-village can make their own electricity.

0:15:53 > 0:15:58This can be stored and used, even when the sun isn't shining.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02The houses also have special windows,

0:16:02 > 0:16:07with three layers of glass to keep the heat in.

0:16:07 > 0:16:12In the garden, Euan shows William something else.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Euan, what's this?

0:16:13 > 0:16:15A water butt.

0:16:15 > 0:16:16What's a water butt?

0:16:16 > 0:16:22The water splashes off the roof into this thing.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26The rainwater runs down the roof into a drainpipe

0:16:26 > 0:16:28that fills the water butt.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- It's a bit full!- Yeah.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39This water can be used to water the plants.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46Euan heads off to show William more of the eco-village.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50In the village is an area of land divided into plots,

0:16:50 > 0:16:55known as allotments. Each villager has their own allotment

0:16:55 > 0:16:57to grow fruit and vegetables.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Euan and his grandparents decide to pick some vegetables

0:17:00 > 0:17:02for a special tea for William.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07They find peas and artichokes.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Be careful. They're spiky. - They're spiky, aren't they?

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Next, the explorers see what else they can pick for tea.

0:17:14 > 0:17:19Look at all these things! What are they?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21That's an aubergine, and those are two beans.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25You see these tomatoes? They're not ready.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Aren't they? Which ones are ready then?

0:17:27 > 0:17:31Umm, that one and that one.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- How do you know they're ready? - They have to be red.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38- If they're the same colour as this, they're not ripe.- So if they're red,

0:17:38 > 0:17:42- they're ready!- Yeah! - Ha! Red-Ready!

0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Shall we pick that aubergine? - Yeah.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47Go on, then.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49It doesn't want to come off.

0:17:53 > 0:17:58Oh! Hee-hee-hee! You got it!

0:17:58 > 0:18:03There's lots of tomatoes growing on THAT plant.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06And there's a teeny weeny one here.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Once they've picked all the vegetables for tea,

0:18:16 > 0:18:21Euan takes William to visit the eco-village chickens.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22They've got peas for tea.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27What are we doing here?

0:18:27 > 0:18:30That's the chicken coop

0:18:30 > 0:18:33and I'm just about to take this down and collect the eggs.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Euan opens the coop

0:18:37 > 0:18:40and gently collects the eggs laid by the village chickens.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Let's take them to Grandma!

0:18:50 > 0:18:53Euan and Grandma decide to make William an omelette

0:18:53 > 0:18:56with the eggs they've collected.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Wow, it's got two eggs in it.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Oh, look, it has two yolks in that one egg!

0:19:00 > 0:19:01Whisk it up quickly.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05We'll just cook the butter and a few herbs in - whisk it up.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06What else do we need?

0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Cheese.- Because it's for William.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11So let's cut him a bit of cheese to put in.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15- So shall we pop the egg in? - It's ready now.- That's it.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19You give that to me, and I'll just give it a final whisk.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22And let's just pour it into here.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26Oh, you're going to love this, William.

0:19:26 > 0:19:27Let's give him some cheese.

0:19:27 > 0:19:32That's it. Looking good. Going to be nice and cheesy.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36I hope he's hungry.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39It'll just slide out.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Oh, look at that!

0:19:41 > 0:19:42What have you made, then?

0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Omelette.- Cheese omelette!

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Look at all this food.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50What a feast!

0:19:50 > 0:19:52- What's this?- Omelette.

0:19:52 > 0:19:57- Is it made with the eggs that we collected from the chickens?- Yes.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01With cheese and one egg with two yolks in.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05One egg with two yolks! You must be "yolking"!

0:20:05 > 0:20:07THEY LAUGH

0:20:07 > 0:20:09And lots of cheese.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Cheese! Oh, squeakalicious!

0:20:13 > 0:20:16This food looks yummy!

0:20:16 > 0:20:20But it's even tastier when you've picked it with your own paws.

0:20:20 > 0:20:25William, Euan's got one more thing to give you.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28- What's that?- Bread.

0:20:28 > 0:20:29There you go.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33Oh! It's a mouse-sized loaf!

0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Hee hee! Who made that?- Grandpa did.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41Aw! Let's tuck in!

0:20:41 > 0:20:45The explorers and Grandma tuck into their yummy tea.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49That was squeakalicious!

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Thank you for an amazing adventure!

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Squeak you later!

0:20:54 > 0:20:55Squeak you later.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Squeak you later.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Can you remember where William went today?

0:21:00 > 0:21:05William met his friend Euan and they visited his grandparents' house.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Can you remember where they lived?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10They lived in an eco-village.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14William got to pick some vegetables...

0:21:17 > 0:21:19..and collect some eggs.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Can you remember what they did with the eggs?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25They made a special cheese omelette.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30William had a great adventure

0:21:30 > 0:21:33and a super tea made from things grown on the allotment.
