the first phone call

(Tom’s still away on his bike ride. This is Ruffy keeping you up to date.)

The weather is definitely autumnal.

I’m worried about Tom. Can he get a hot drink? Is his tent waterproof?

I was just cooking myself a warming meal, when the phone rang.

It was the bear himself!

Oh bother.

Oh dear, there were so many things I meant to ask him!

And so much advice I meant to give him!

I hope he phones again soon.

He sounded all right.

But has he got enough to eat? And what will he do if it rains? And will he manage to find the Welsh bits of seaside?

If he’d taken his mobile with him, then I could have phoned him.

But he was right, it’s not a very mobile mobile.

And I guess he’s enjoying travelling light. Fairly light.

It was good to hear his voice.
