Speaker 1: the supercast link in the show notes. Anyway, here's a
00:00:25
Speaker 1: preview of this very special episode. In the middle of
00:00:35
Speaker 1: the countryside, among the rolling fields of grass and wheat
00:00:39
Speaker 1: and barley, where sheep and cows grazed peacefully and brooks
00:00:44
Speaker 1: trickled through clutches of leafy woodland, stood two red brick cottages.
00:00:50
Speaker 1: They were the only two houses for Miles and Miles,
00:00:54
Speaker 1: and the nearest town to them was a long drive away.
00:00:58
Speaker 1: So it was pretty lucky for Kitty, who lived in
00:01:00
Speaker 1: one of the cottages that her best friend Ross lived
00:01:04
Speaker 1: in the other. Maybe they became best friends because they
00:01:08
Speaker 1: lived next door to each other, But if you asked her,
00:01:13
Speaker 1: Kitty thought there was more to it than that. As
00:01:15
Speaker 1: far as she was concerned, it was more like an
00:01:18
Speaker 1: act of fate than of mere chance that Ross's parents
00:01:22
Speaker 1: had decided to move into the house next door to her,
00:01:25
Speaker 1: because from the moment she and Ross met, they knew
00:01:29
Speaker 1: they were going to be the best of friends. They
00:01:33
Speaker 1: loved doing all the same things, climbing trees, building forts,
00:01:38
Speaker 1: play fighting with sticks. They liked watching the ducklings paddling
00:01:43
Speaker 1: down the river, and they liked putting up a tent
00:01:46
Speaker 1: in the garden and listening to the hoops the owls
00:01:49
Speaker 1: made to each other through the night. But most of all,
00:01:54
Speaker 1: they liked sending messages tied to the ends of balloons.
00:01:58
Speaker 1: Ross's dad to tank of helium in his garage, and
00:02:02
Speaker 1: every now and then he'd drive Kitty and Ross into
00:02:05
Speaker 1: town to buy a little patch of biodegradable balloons. Then
00:02:10
Speaker 1: they'd blow them up, draw faces on them in black
00:02:13
Speaker 1: marker pen and let them bob about the ceiling of
00:02:16
Speaker 1: the garage like a crowd of multicolored, funny looking people.
00:02:21
Speaker 1: After that, they'd take a couple of the balloons and
00:02:24
Speaker 1: tie little pieces of card onto the ends. On these cards,
00:02:29
Speaker 1: they'd have written notes things like hello from Kitty and Ross,
00:02:35
Speaker 1: or this balloon is a gift from an extra terrestrian.
00:02:41
Speaker 1: They'd go outside and let the balloon go and watch
00:02:44
Speaker 1: it fly off into the sky until it disappeared out
00:02:48
Speaker 1: of sight. For a long time afterwards, they'd wonder where
00:02:53
Speaker 1: in the world the balloon would land, and whether the
00:02:57
Speaker 1: person who found it would laugh over their messages. One day,
00:03:02
Speaker 1: when they were clambering up huge cylindrical hay bales as
00:03:06
Speaker 1: though they were mountains to climb, Ross told Kitty that
00:03:10
Speaker 1: he had some news for her. His dad had got
00:03:14
Speaker 1: a new job, and in just a couple of weeks time,
00:03:17
Speaker 1: they'd be moving house to the other side of the country.
00:03:22
Speaker 1: At first, Kitty was sad when she heard this news,
00:03:26
Speaker 1: but soon she brightened up. She was excited for Ross
00:03:30
Speaker 1: getting to discover a new place and start a new
00:03:33
Speaker 1: chapter in his life. And they'd still be best friends,
00:03:37
Speaker 1: wouldn't they, of course, said Ross, You'll always be my
00:03:42
Speaker 1: best friend, goodenough to come and visit me when I've moved,
00:03:46
Speaker 1: and I'll leave you the new address so we can
00:03:48
Speaker 1: be pen pals. The prospect of being pen pals was
00:03:54
Speaker 1: very exciting. Indeed, Kitty had never had someone to write
00:03:59
Speaker 1: letters to before. Suddenly her dreams were filled with scrolled
00:04:04
Speaker 1: up bits of parchment covered with curling calligraphy and blots
00:04:09
Speaker 1: of ink, And for the following weeks, Kitty and Ross
00:04:14
Speaker 1: couldn't stop talking about all the things they'd do when
00:04:17
Speaker 1: she came to visit Ross's new house, the adventures they'd
00:04:20
Speaker 1: go on, the fresh new sights they'd have to see.
00:04:25
Speaker 1: On the day that Ross was due to move, he
00:04:29
Speaker 1: came over to Kitty's house, gave her a big hug,
00:04:33
Speaker 1: and handed her a scrap of paper with his new
00:04:36
Speaker 1: address on it. Show that you can write to me,
00:04:39
Speaker 1: he said. Listen to the full episode By joining the
