‘Fundamentally flawed’ declared B, and curled her top lip a tiny bit managing 
to disguise it as an impending sneeze, which she pretended to suppress with her 
delicate, rose tipped pinky.

Leonardo merely snorted and proceeded to pull both of the two strings that were 
attached to the great bag of apples hanging above the sort of funnel 
contraption which itself was attached to a long pointy leaf shaped 
sledge-cum-chariot.

The apples cascaded down into the shoe/chariot with a great rumbling, there 
were so many of them. 

‘Jimmy crack crikey!’ Exclaimed B as the shoe began to vibrate, then shake and 
then settle into a gentle purr.

‘Put the navigation hat on’ advised L and he handed over the strange thing 
quite carefully to B. 

‘This’n here bonnet is wot you’s is gonna need to a navigate a path and be 
directional and correct wise in all calculations regarding the slug-sledge’

B took the bonnet and placed it straight on top her head.

The hat was like a big glass dish with a ribbon to attach. Inside it contained 
water and what looked like three terrapin. These were swimming about. 

‘The terrapin’s feets will a tickle yorn scalp and stimulate your cerebrum grey 
matter inducing semi-epileptic fits, these will guide your thoughts in the 
direction of travel’

‘Ta very much I’m sure’  

B felt the hat tilt a bit, some water splashed out, and one of the little 
turtles seemed to burp and croak oddly.

She stood straight trying to angle her eyes up through the glassy brim at the 
little paddlers. She began to feel hot, then cold, then her toes started to 
curl inside her long, metal armoured shoes and she began to lift into the air.

Later on in the week Leonardo and Bron took

A trip to Morocco. They bought some carpets to put in the craft. Also some 
Persian type slippers and some incense, bells, a couple of old, interesting 
looking books, a small palm tree in a pot and a couple of miniature carved 
dolphins with green crystalline manes and tails. 

The terrapins frolicked in the water, squirting little fountains and gurgling 
while B examined her dolphin tails, feeling the exquisitely carved manes so 
delicate and cleverly made.

‘Got to get down big J soon. Couer de Leon isn be expectant I be there for the 
big fight, bash and brawl with yon Saracen archers and like. Innum! But I’s 
more liken trip me back up Belfast way, dive deep thems oyster beds ‘n check 
for London, makum travel time coast again init old Leo my good mate!’

She flashed the old smile, all pretty, and only marred slightly by the one 
missing tooth and the smattering of gold ingots in the back.

‘Sure ting init we can make the trip and be back in time for the big meet up in 
Jerusalem Castle and all day ting’

‘Ok, I’ll grab the coffee pot and the hampers when we get back. You pack the 
trendy gear, all that green crushed velvet and that well good straw hat I love, 
plus the big orange trench coat, which should look great on the Kings Rd. I 
want to have fun!’

L rolled his eyes a tiny bit, but couldn’t suppress a grin and fell back in the 
lush carpets and cushions and whistled his fave Marianne Faithful tune ‘this 
little bird, that lives on the wind..’ he felt nostalgic, and rubbed his chin, 
thinking of something or other, or nothing very particular, but definitely 
something attractively apposite — something about sunny and windy cliffs with 
peewits crying and Blue bird’s eggs in amongst thistle down and dry white sand 
blowing across a small beach...
