Jeanie took the controls as the craft plummeted towards the ground. Miraculously they landed safely on the soft sand of the beach. Jeanie forced open the door, pushed out Elton, then grabbing Logan by the hand pulled him towards the open door....

they were greeted by a large group of socially distanced fishermen singing sea shanties who were being filmed for the local news. The TV reporter approached Logan with his microphone. "Have we met before? Weren't you ...

And without comment hoisted her up beside him. Horrified she shrieked

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....

"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...

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 ...

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.....................

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

...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!

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....

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

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...

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

..... 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....

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 ...

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.....

...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...

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

Dragonella Fri 12-Mar-21 18:55:49

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."

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?

Aldom Wed 17-Mar-21 20:13:20

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.....

tinaf1 Wed 17-Mar-21 20:45:46

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.

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 ...
