Sienna has an Adventure

Sienna took a stroll through the deep dark wood

[Please note, some of the faces belonging to the living dead have been photoshopped to make them less hideously scary...]

Once upon a time, a big girl called Sienna came to the South of France with her mum, there to visit Popi and Momo. 

Little did she know that this was to be the start of a big adventure!

Sienna's mum had brought with her gifts for Popi, as it had been his birthday sometime in the last year. 

Four gifts she brought, four gifts of great value.

First was a special frame with special coloured gem stones specially placed within it. Popi would soon find a special place on the wall for this masterpiece, as soon as he re-glues the stones...

Second was a giant bar of the most fabulous chocolate found anywhere on the planet, indeed anywhere in the Galaxy. It had to be a giant bar because of all the hungry mouths to feed.

Next was some special pieces to place in Popi's model railway. See if you can spot one here...

Lastly, however, was a gift unwanted. A cute little waggy-tailed virus that immediately sensed a source of warm food deep in the recently damaged lungs of Popi. Bypassing the usual snotty nose and sneezes, this unwanted visitor elicited a cough. If you ever suffer a broken rib, try not to cough...

This gift had already gotten hold of Sienna's mum, and would also soon strike down Momo, leaving Sienna alone, surrounded by the living dead.

She found herself stuck deep in the mountains, with only her own survival instincts to help her. She had to get away and somehow get to Popi & Momo's farmhouse

She tried skiing, and would have succeeded if the stupid skis hadn't kept falling off. 

The only answer was to slide away.

even though this scared the living daylights out of her zombie mother....

Finally she arrived at Popi and Momo's farmhouse, next to the enchanted forest called 'The Deep Dark Wood'. 

There, amongst many ancient tomes, such as Dr Zeuss's "Sleep Book" and "Duckie, Do you Know how Lucky you are?" she found a magic book describing a monster that lived nearby in the Deep Dark Wood; The Gruffalo.

Sienna set off on her quest to find this monster.

She climbed the highest heights,

leaping forth to meet all odds, somewhat reminiscent of Lara Croft.

Searching a nearby fairy house, she discovered a secret map giving her the route she must take.

She must leap wide rivers...

whilst fighting off strange monsters...

sneaking past giant dinosaurs...

avoiding the spray of a nearby volcano...

and commandeering an off-road vehicle, cunningly named 'Popi's Tractor'.

Deep in the Deep Dark Wood, Sienna discovered the Gruffalo's house!

But no Gruffalo....

Sienna needed help.

And help came.

Sienna's cousin, Lyzëa...

and her trusty side-kick, Kaëly...

After a short break to catch up

(which did not impress Kaëly)

The adventurers set off into the enchanted forest,

zipping through the forest...

at mind-boggling speed...

one following the other...

Despite all this, the Gruffalo was not seen, although Kaëly did try to point it out...

After such a great adventure, Sienna and Lyzëa spent time documenting their story in special facial contortions...

Well done the three girls!

and then the zombies came...
