Dartmouth and Cuthbert's Car Adventures

Dartmouth is a 7-year-old brown teddy bear. He is rather grumpy, very wise and knows a lot. Cuthbert is Dartmouth’s friend. He is a 4-year-old green dragon. He is very lively and rushes about everywhere. His breath is only just warm as he is a baby, but his tail flicks about all over the place! He loves telling jokes to Dartmouth.

They sit on the front passenger seat with the seat belt on when Mum takes her twin boys to school in the car. Oliver and Lewis are 5 years old and identical. They can’t sit in front as Mum wouldn’t know which is which, and they would argue a lot about whose turn it is.

The boys’ favourite soft toys Dartmouth and Cuthbert (known to each other as Squeezums and Fishooks), sit next to Mum with Oliver and Lewis in the back. Dad works in London during the week, so doesn’t know about the furry friends’ adventures.

Sue Johnston is an 83-year old widow who loves travelling and driving her Honda Jazz car about the country. She also enjoys walking across fields and woods, exploring the scenery. She familiarises herself with modern technological devices to help her have a leisurely tour. Sue only drives 80–100 miles a day, parking at the next hotel, then investigating the local sights on foot. She usually only spends two half-days at each destination, having reserved the very efficient booking.com for bedtime.
