There is a new girl in our class. She is called AMBER SKYLARK. Amber’s family are TRAVELLERS and have PITCHED UP next to the SCHOOL PLAYING FIELD.
Amber gave her five minute talk today about HENRIETTA GREEN. Henrietta runs a campaign called CHERRYAID which is nothing to do with LEMONAID, LIVEAID OR HAIR BRAID. CHERRYAID is aiming to SAVE THE BRITISH CHERRY because 90 PERCENT OF CHERRY ORCHARDS HAVE DISAPPEARED and most cherries that we eat today are IMPORTED. This is not good for OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT.
This has given me an idea. I have been reading about a man whose name is Winter. Winter is on a PERSONAL MISSION to visit EVERY STARBUCKS IN THE WORLD. I am hoping that Winter may visit my local Starbucks because I would like to give him some cherry stones. I have been inspired by Mary Anne Brailsford who lived 200 years ago and scattered apple pips in her garden. Later a butcher moved in – after she had moved out. The butcher was called Matthew Bramley and one day a man called Henry Merryweather asked if he could take cuttings and sell the apples. Mr Bramley probably wondered why Mr Merryweather didn’t take his pork chops because apple sauce goes well with pork. Anyway he said it was ok providing THE APPLE WAS NAMED AFTER HIM. That’s why it’s called a BRAMLEY and not a BRAILSFORD or a MERRYWEATHER.
Angus Burton said WHO WOULD EVER BELIEVE THAT AN APPLE COULD OUTLIVE A MAN and Ram and I have been wondering who the PINK LADY APPLE must be named after. Anyway the reason I tell you all this is that I am on CHERRY ALERT. My plan is to sit outside my local Starbucks until Winter arrives and to ask him to scatter cherry stones everywhere he goes. There will then be a branch – get it! branch of TANNER CHERRIES outside every Starbucks shop. I can tell that Amber is VERY IMPRESSED.
