IMAGINATION

I'm a seagull I have eaten so many worms and bits and breadcrumbs I have a job to take off up into the clouds. I stop on a thatched roof little birds hanging on their claws but I'm beginning to tilt. I fly on and a kite is quite near me I'm going to get entangled I must try to fly around it I can see morris dancers banging and waving hankies there's a top of a van with a covered statue of a dolphin I can see chimney's and black smoke coming out and ah! a chimney sweep brush cars parked and bicycle tied up a church spire, tennis court and it's starting to rain a cafe in the distance people are eating ice-creams some are carrying carrier bags and wearing tops with cats and birds on children are eating candy floss oh! dear I have dropped on someones hat they say it is lucky?
Now I am back on the high roof top again a huge giant plane nearly blowing me off and a milk float clattering down below the noise is scary I can see a helter skelter, can-can dancers in all bright colours on the pier, I can hear the bang of the rifle range going pop! bang! to win a toy some have large pigs and cows to win and a baby dolphin, oh! dear I am so tired I am starting to close my eyes and nod of. I have found a crack in the roof ledge to perch from the cold and wet to-night but I managed to keep awake to see all these things.

I really liked this- you have a vivid imagination!
Some great imagery here.

Keep it up!

I love the ideas in here Julie, but it is hard to read with so little punctuation. Some lovely imagery.
