Thursday, 17th. Major traffic panic. Dilly and her family tried to cross the main road and we nearly ran them over! ***They’re not by the riverbank any more, they’re living on the big pond behind Swallow Court.***

This is how I found out – Dad picked us up from school and as we drove along, they were crossing the road with Dilly lagging behind as usual. Dad braked and we missed them.

The minute we got home, I went back to look for them. I asked Miss Eliot if she’d seen the ducklings on the road because she was sitting in her garden with Tigger when it happened. She said yes, she watched it all. Then she saw the adult ducks lead the ducklings on down the crescent. They actually crossed her garden and went into the field at the back!

So I climbed over Miss Eliot’s fence and followed the ducks to the pond. It belongs to Mr and Mrs Truelove. They own a big house with a tennis court and a pond and everything – Swallow Hall.

So Dilly’s got a new home, not by the river any more. And Mrs Truelove says I can visit the pond any time I like to keep an eye on her. Phew! But in any case, Karl and I decided to make a sign for the road just in case the ducks go back that way again. ‘SLOW DOWN – DUCKS CROSSING!’ in giant red letters. We stuck the cardboard sign on a wooden stake and hammered it into the grass verge. Hope it works.

Didn’t have time to do English homework. Hope Mum will write a note for Miss Jennings to let me off. Fingers crossed.

***Dilly’s safe and she’s not lost. How cool is that!***
