After having tasty bacon butties in the tent, Sweep nagged and nagged and nagged until Auntie Angela gave in and said yes, they could go down into Bude for a look around.
It took ages to find a car park space, but eventually Uncle Bill performed a feat worthy of the genius he is, and heard a car start its engine as they were getting near it, so he kindly let the driver out (Uncle Bill is always very kind) and put his car into that space before it had a chance to feel lonely and unloved.
Sweep climbed into his special pocket on Uncle Bill's backpack, and they set off into town. One of the cubs stopped beside a little telly in the wall. He put his card into the slot and pressed some buttons. The telly spat his card out. "oh", thought Sweep, "it mustn't taste nice". But then the telly gave the cub some money - Sweep thought maybe that was to say sorry for being rude and spitting the card back out.
Uncle Bill said that his blood-caffeine level was very low. Sweep knew from experience that this could be very serious indeed, and he called to Uncle Bill from the top of the backpack "look, Uncle Bill, there's a coffee shop over there!" Uncle Bill was very pleased with Sweep and said he could choose something special from the menu. Sweep looked at the menu to see if there were pasties, but Uncle Bill said that'd be for later. So Sweep decided to be daring and ordered a ginger beer. "What the heck!" He thought. "We're on holiday!"
Tune in later to see if Sweep gets squiffy on ginger beer, and whether he succeeds in his quest to find a fantastic pastie...
