Once upon a time there was a young girl who lived in a small village near the sea. One day she decided to go for a midnight walk along the beach. Suddenly she became aware that someone was following her.....

Naturally, the news that Ben Fogle was in trouble caused a slight delay, as the fire fighters had to wait until the BBC News van had arrived before they swept up heroically to save Ben and Jeannie. Leaving Ben to deal with the Press photographers and the firemen to take poor Rosylips/Polly back to the fire station for a slap-up pork roast supper, Jeannie wandered off between the trees. Dizzy and bleeding from a small cut on her head, she had no idea where she was going, and simply kept walking, until she saw in the distance...

But.... suddenly the air balloon began to lose height, down, down it plummeted. The fall was interrupted by the lines snagging the branches of an oak tree. Piggy toppled out of the basket and was killed instantly. The basket hung precariously from the tree, Jeanie was terrified but heroic Ben kept his head and dialled 999....

But the porcine passenger was in a mutinous mood. Ben had renamed her Polly! She wasn't some moth-eaten parrot but a glorious porker named Rosylips and renowned for her scarlet painted, tantalising smackeroos. If he thought he could dump her in the wilds of Yorkshire he had another think coming. She started to hatch her cunning plan.........

Ben pulled his mobile phone out and phoned a friend. "Hey there, Jeannie, you know you used to work at that hot air balloon factory before you joined the circus then moved in with Logan - any chance you can pull in a favour for me?" Within hours, a large van pulled up with Jeannie at the wheel, and soon Ben, Jeannie and Polly the pig were drifting high in the sky, heading for Yorkshire.

Would the Yorkshire Shepherdess be able to help? After all, there are loads of animal on her lovely farm and one more wouldn't make much difference, even a pig. Sadly, as she was miles away he'd have to break the rules to travel there so he had to hatch a clever plan ...

Ben took the pig home. Unfortunately because he was away traveling a lot he was unable to car for the pig. He had to find someone who would be able to care for a pig he’d named Polly.

At that very moment along came Ben Fogle. Oh my goodness, he exclaimed, what a super pig. Any chance I might take her off your hands.....

He felt humbled by his superior's remarks. Life had become a bit dull lately and he craved the excitement of a big investigation. In the meantime, what on earth should he do with this pig?

DS James Hathaway brushed his newly-dyed black hair back with one hand, and secretly gestured to his stepbrother Henry Shagsworthy to run for freedom while he had the chance. As Henry disappeared in the crowds, Hathaway reluctantly picked up Rosylips the pig and wondered why he had ever decided on a career in the police. "You'd better hope no press photographers are round here," Lewis sniggered, "unless you want jokes about our latest recruitment drive."

Casdon Fri 12-Mar-21 15:28:34

Inspector Robert Lewis. Hathaway, why have you dyed your hair black you posh woosie, he laughed, and then stepped backwards as he recognised Shagsworthy.

...but the posh chap angrily snatched back his red box from Henry Shagsworthy the undercover detective, and snarled, "Leave my papers alone, Henry - I've got enough on my plate what with Elton John mysteriously going missing and random women puking over my best shoes! If you weren't my brother, I'd report you to the police for your crimes against humanity and fashion sense." Tripping over a pig in lipstick, he...

Along came someone Jeanie recognised. It was the undercover detective who used to drive the tractor at the farm. Quickly gathering up the contents of the red box he winked at Jeanie.....

lovebeigecardigans1955 Thu 11-Mar-21 12:16:13

Then she heard a kerfuffle. The posh chap had dropped his red case and the contents scattered all over the pavement. As people ran forward to gather up the loose sheets ...

..... But before she could speak the dark haired gentleman with the red leather box rushed away in the direction of Downing Street. Jeanie gasped and turned towards the train station....

but her eyes widened with disbelief and maybe a little horror. She thought she recognised that face. Could it be, could it really be ...

beautiful bespoke black Lobb shoes. Yes, he really is a gentleman realised Jeannie. She blushed as she knew she had ruined them, and stood up straighter to apologise...

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sat 06-Mar-21 11:59:52

but was it a gentleman? Was it a cunning disguise? Peeking beneath his smart pin-striped trousers she glimpsed ...

Aldom Thu 04-Mar-21 19:20:08

As Jeanie ran swiftly back towards the railway station she could not get the picture of Henry What'shisname out of her mind. Socks with sandals! The very thought made her violently sick. Unfortunately all over a rather expensively dressed gentleman with dark hair, who was carrying a leather bound red box....

Dragonella Thu 04-Mar-21 15:16:02

...with a lengthy article explaining his many nefarious crimes: bank robbery, arson, assault with a deadly weapon, murder, bigamy, and worst of all, wearing socks with sandals. Jeannie gave a shudder of horror; how could she almost have agreed to be his wife, just before he'd been washed away by the tidal wave? Compared with him, even the simpering poseur Logan was a real catch!

A 'Wanted' poster. It covered a good quarter of the broadsheet page. A large photofit of that Shagsworthy bloke ...

Instead of searching for buried treasure perhaps she had better start digging up Logan's past. She rushed to the station and caught the next train to London where her search of the national newspapers' archives would begin. Settling down to her quest she turned page after page until something shattering caught her attention.....................

lovebeigecardigans1955 Tue 02-Mar-21 12:18:32

suspicious and annoyed. Logan was behaving like a tart. She began to wonder what he'd done in the past to make those news headlines ...

Dragonella Sun 28-Feb-21 19:31:02

"Yes, and I'd like to apologise for my actions. If I'd known he was the Prime Minister, obviously I'd have chucked him back in." Logan winked impishly at the camera, flicking back his sandy hair and surreptitiously undoing his shirt to reveal his tanned chest. Jeannie started to feel extremely...

Aldom Sun 28-Feb-21 19:13:33

Have we met before? Weren't you.... The handsome lifeguard who rescued the Prime Minister when he got into difficulties in the sea? For a moment Logan looked puzzled, then he said....
