One day, Sweep was minding his own business, sat atop the bookcase from where he liked to survey the comings and goings of the world. It was a lovely sunny day, and the strange humans with whom he lived were out in the garden, enjoying the unexpected sunshine of a bank holiday afternoon while getting slowly and pleasantly squiffy on a succession of cocktails. All seemed well, if a little predictable.
Then suddenly the telephone rang - it was his Auntie Angela! Last time she'd taken him on a trip he'd ended up at the Great Wall of China - where could she want to take him this time? Would it be as exciting?
Lynne, the more female of the humans with whom sweep lived, finished talking to Auntie Angela and explained to Sweep that she was coming to take him to a land far off to the south-west; a land of legend and magic, of romance and adventure - a land beyond the bounds of his native England. Yes, Sweep would be going to Cornwall and living in a tent for ten days. Well, said Sweep, it's better than when Mr Corbett used to put his hand somewhere uncomfortable. Lets go!
And so, off went Sweep with his Auntie Angela for another Great Adventure.
Tune in tomorrow and see what Sweep gets up to on his journey south...
