A letter to mum

Dear Mum,

Thank you for the soup. I ate it on the plane and it kept me warm the whole way there. After what felt like centuries,we arrived in Chipping. It is a small village. It is nothing like Eldon Street. It is very quiet here.

Once we arrived, hundreds of people came and chose which children they wanted. It was like going to town. I got chosen first. I think it was because I was at the front of the line.

Anyways I’m staying with Mrs Catt, in a small cottage. The water comes from a brick well in the garden. There is a button that you press and the water sprays out into a bucket.

The first thing Mrs Catt made me do was wash in the metal tub outside and it was freezing cold. When I got out, she didn’t let me in until I was fully dry and clean. When I got inside, she made me a lovely hot chocolate and told me to enjoy.

I have a small room in the loft. I can see the long road from outside of the window. At night, I can hear the bats flying around in the wind and the owls screech. I have been thinking about you and dad all day. Every morning, I wake to the sound of singing birds. There are chickens in the garden. There aren’t a lot of cars that pass by. Anyway, Mrs Catt lets me collect the eggs from the chickens. She has tall plants sprouting from the ground. It’s very quiet most of the time.

You will never guess this but Mrs Catt keeps a small horse called Laina in a small wooden barn in the garden. I have a few jobs to do throughout the day and the best one is feeding Laina. I also have to walk her through the path in the garden to get her energy out.

Every morning, Mrs Catt sends me off to school which is only 5 minutes away from her house.

Since it’s only 5 minutes away, a lot of us go there. We have to pray for the country and I sit on a bench in the middle of the rows of benches. I am trying really hard with my handwriting.

Sometimes,we have lunch outside on the picnic tables but if it’s raining we have to eat inside. Mrs Catt sends me to school with a dripping sandwich. Sometimes she sneaks an orange into my lunchbox as a treat. Lots of the girls eat strawberries that they picked on the way to school. I’ve seen them wash them in puddles and dry them on the grass. The boys and girls here are all right as they teach us a whole lot of games. The girls are really good at skipping and the boys are good at football.

I hope you and dad are alright. I think about you all day. I’ll write soon. Please write back to me.

Lots of love, Scarlett

Life

It doesn’t have to be the mouth melting Ferrero Rocher Ice cream 

in a chocolate waffle from Vanilla Joe’s in Irvine, a nice bike ride 

and a walk in Eglinton park on a lovely spring day with the family and dogs. 

 

It could be,  a lovely summer day at Barrasses beach spending

time with family and going paddle boarding,  

the beautiful serenade of a red breast robin 

waking you up in the early morning.

 

Be curious about all the unanswered, burning questions 

life throws at you.

 

Just pay attention to all the beautiful, lovely and 

wonderful things life gives to you, and just be grateful.

 In The Land Of Winter 

 In The Land Of Winter 

In the land of winter, I saw a snow white like wolf paused on a ledge on a giant cliff with it’s pack behind it.

In the land of winter, I heard a snowy owl call for it’s family to come and feast for it’s dinner.

In the land of winter, I felt a little snowflake dance on my tongue, then suddenly the feeling vanished like a sweet but it started of with a taste then it’s gone.

In the land of winter, I found an icicle cry like it had an onion put up to it’s eye.

In the land of winter, I found a field full of frost covered roses, it looked like a white chocolate covered strawberry and they smelled like a vanilla scented candles.

In the land of winter, I found a snow white wolf cub stuck under a fallen tree and it was shivering so I helped it out and gave it a bit of raw meat and then it ran off.

chapter 4

Chapter 4 

“The book I told you not to touch!!!” “Um yes.” When the guardian had is back to me, I ran off, I ran as fast as I could. When I reached the field, I saw that the wolf cub, it looked like that she was just a bout asleep, then at that moment the wolf cub wakes up, then asked me “what have I been doing?” Embarrassed, Ellie changes the subject do you want to go on a wake with me? Yes, yes pleases!!!! Ok let’s go. 

After going past a fountain which was full of chocolate milk and we ma of had a sip of the milk inside the fountain, then we reached an obstacle course so me and the wolf cub when to try it out. So, we jumped on to the first one, then the second one, then the third one, when we tried to jump on to the fifth one, I made it, but the wolf cub did not. I climbed down the ladder on the side of the log, and I founded the wolf cub on the ground, I said are you ok but the wolf cub did not respond. So, I picked up the wolf cub and ran to the middle of the forest and I saw the guardian and so I said that the wolf cub got hurt, he wanted to see what was wrong but as he went to touch the wolf cub. Then a giant wolf jumped through the air and landed then stared to growl a aggressively. It looked just like the picture in the book and the description too. Suddenly I realised the wolf cub was the mystical and mysterious wolf’s cub. She knew what to do, so she grabbed the wolf cub and ran, so knew that the mum wolf will chase her, because she did not what to lose her only friend so I ran and ran as fast as I could. Suddenly I recognised this place it looked just like the place I fell from, I saw a little lake it looked like it was rapidly shrinking, she looked down in the water. She saw a shape like the Wardrobe she came through, she took a deep breath and jumped in. she swam like she was in a swimming race. she reached the door like shape and pooled the handle and closed her eyes tight. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was in her attic and then she turned a bout and the wardrobe was gone, she was amazed and then she remembered about the wolf cub. The wolf cup was not a wolf cup anymore she was a puppy now. After a few days Ellie got used to her new pet and friend, Ellie’s life was so much better!!!  

chapter 2

Chapter 2  

Ooff!!! Ouch that hurts, where am I? Ellie looked about, it is a forest? but I was just in my attic a minuet ago. She got up to her feet and looked about she sore tall gloomy trees, a listening rive and lanterns lieting up a path. Then a wolf cub came up to her and Ellie loocked emasd and screred at the same time and then she strock the woolf cubs back and then the woolf said “ha that tikels”. Sundely Ellie jumped in supris,  

“are you talking to me”  “yes I am, now are you lost?” “yes I am can you help me?” “Yes I can”. After a few minutes foloing the path what the lantens lit up. They reached the midel of the forest and ellie sore a book on a wood petstul and she went to open it but when she reached the podem, a man with wings came down from the sky and said do not open this book or take anething from this relm.!! Ok said ellie to the randem man. Then the woolf cub said how about we go to the flower feels. Ok.  

Then after a few minets we reeched the flower feeleds and the I pick some roses, blue bells, poppies and then made a bookae.  

The Doors

Through the yellow door,  

there might be some sunflowers  

and a gorgeous sunset and beautiful butterflies. 

 

Through the brown door, 

 there might be adorable dogs,  

and some delicious chocolate bars. 

 

Through the red door, 

 there might be some spicy chillies, 

 and some sweet strawberries. 

 

Through the pink door,  

there might be a big cherry blossom tree  

and some cute tulips. 

 

Through the blue door,  

there is the glistening sky and  

some freshly picked blueberries. 

 

Through the black door, 

The sky was as dark as a crow. 

 

Through the rainbow door, 

 there is a sparkling unicorn prancing through the field. 

 

Through the door of Mystery, 

 there might be the Pacific Ocean or an ice-cold flame. 

The House of Emotions

In the basement of puppies, when you walk in their eyes are so cute, they will control you. 

 

In the room of kindness, if you are sad or upset just look at all the walls and look for your name there will be a kind note for you. 

 

In the room of unpleasantness, if you dare to go in this room, you might get an unplest punch in the face. 

 

In the room of sadness, if you are happy, I advised you not to go in this room because you might become very sad very quickly. 

 

In the room of happiness, there will be rainbows that will carry you up into the clouds. 

 

In the room of loneliness, you will start to fell so lonely very quickly and you might feel like the walls are starting to enclosed on their self’s. 

 

In the attic of emotions, on the walls you can sea and feel the emotion you are looking at and you might be able to grab the emotion you are look at and be that emotion.
