Welcome To Australia

Alan & Me By The Sea

Alan and my toddler self spend time on the beach, digging in the sand, observing puffins, chasing seagulls, splashing in the water and finally relaxing by having Alan pretend his hands are starfish and jellyfish.

Beach Snuggles

Alan and Tin Tin want to share a romantic moment on the beaches of Tracy Island, but my toddler self wants to play with them. Immediately, they give in and start to play with me in a moment of joy and happiness in Summer, splashing in the ocean and burying Alan up to his neck in sand.

Parker & Me

On the beach, Parker bonds and plays with my toddler self, both of us au naturale. As we play and relax together, Parker's inner monologues are heard, reminding us all that he couldn't think of a better 'little poppet' to look after more than 'er ladyship's daughter, and how proud he is to be an uncle.

What Would Maisy Do? - Beauty & Meaning

Tallulah wants to start a collection of pretty things she finds outside her house. One day, Maisy takes her for a beach holiday, and she goes around the beach collecting shells, but none of them she finds aren't pretty enough. In fact, one that was pretty before had brown holes in it.

Luckily, Tallulah knows she can turn to Maisy for advice. She runs up to her friend and asks if there's another way to find beauty and meaning inside the shells. Removing her sunglasses and taking a drink of her orange cocktail, Maisy reminds Tallulah: "You can find beauty and meaning in everything you see, just like me. When I was shipped off to India and Africa, I found beauty and meaning in the outside world, because I'm so glad to have Leopard and Dog as my teachers. And when you found me in India, I showed you, Lion and Dog that there's beauty to be found everywhere, even when you're far from home. Inside these shells you find, they're not as ugly as you'd expect - in fact, things you find in nature aren't supposed to be ugly as you thought they'd appear. Each little piece of nature that's considered horrendous to others, is actually beautiful to those who look deeper inside it. So, next time you see something you call 'ugly and slimy' in nature, try and look at it differently. Usually, I spot out three things that are beautiful about its weird appearance, like the brown spots on those shells for instance, and then put it in my bucket. You think you can do that for me?"

Tallulah shrieked with joy in her chickish ways at the thought of this idea, and thanked Maisy for her idea. She then ran around the beach collecting all the shells she thought were ugly, naming three beautiful things she found in each one, especially the shell with brown dots. She found:

1. A smooth yet bumpy texture
2. Brown dots making a beautiful pattern
3. How it smells of bonfire smoke

Every time she went back to the beach, Tallulah filled her bucket with shells, naming three things that are beautiful about each shell she found. And with every jar she filled with shells, she knew she found the beauty in them.

For ugly things can't be ugly when you look at them in a different way, including people you think are ugly. If you find the beauty inside them by listing down three things you find beautiful about them, then you've found the whole world hosts a range of beauty not seen in any chemist's store before.

And thanks to Maisy, Tallulah knew the world was full of beauty, all thanks to what Maisy called 'The Three Beautiful Things Technique'. You can try it at home too if you like - take a cue from Maisy.

Camomile Tea Journal - Curiosity - Rockpooling

Lady Penelope and I were walking along the beach - just her and me, no one else. We looked around at all the rockpools that surrounded the far end of the beach, and I gazed into the water to see lots of shells and starfish. I also leapt from a rock into Lady Penelope's arms, to which she swung me round and cuddled me.

Diary - Calm - Chilling Out On The Beach

It was a very hot day, and Brains, Alan, Tin Tin and I were flaked out on the floor, so we went down to the beach to relax under the shade of a parasol. We all then went into the sea and started splashing with joy, feeling the ocean water cool ourselves and our skin.

Lady Penelope & The Sea

Sounds Of The Sea

Lady Penelope and I went deep into the forest, away from the cave where we lived in. We were heading to the beach to find some food to see us through until the month after. When my legs got tired at one point, Lady Penelope carried me on my shoulders towards our destination: a beautiful hue of golden sand and bright blue water.

Passed down from the generations, Lady Penelope placed her handprint in the soft sand, and I copied her softly and gently. When we went out onto the beach, I saw mummy digging in the sand for clam shells which spit water. I tried to join her too, and she giggled when she saw me trying to dig like her. Later, as I wandered onto the beach, I found something so beautiful it was too unthinkable to put into words: a beautiful pale pink shell. I put my ear to the shell, and so far, I could hear the majestic sounds of the ocean through it. I called, "Mummy! Come and see this!" Penelope came running towards where I was at, and saw the shell. She explained to me, "This is a very special shell. If you listen closely, you can hear the sea. It's always been rumoured to be like this."

We both put our ears to the seashell together and listened carefully. Sure enough, we could hear the waves splashing against the shore, majestic and grand, like an eagle waiting to catch its prey. It was the most wonderful sound I have ever heard, and yet Penelope too had never heard a tranquil sound like this either. It was so beautiful, we could listen to it all day.

A Rainbow In The Sky

Lady Penelope and I were playing on the beach. Suddenly, a colourful rainbow appears in the sky! I am amazed! Lady Penelope knows the colours well. She names each colour, and then I repeat her. I’m so happy, I dance under the rainbow!

A freedom-filled day by the sea.

Sugar Puffs Advert - Country Hike

[FADE IN]

1. EXT. LIVE-ACTION BAY DOCK – EARLY MORNING

Soft golden sunlight glows over a peaceful bay. Gentle waves lap against the wooden dock. A colourful campervan parks quietly.

[ANIMATED HONEY MONSTER (in hiking boots and a rucksack) and his yellow-furred dog, RUFFY, hop out cheerfully.]

Honey Monster (whispering):
“Ready, Ruffy?”

Ruffy barks once, tail wagging. They walk onto the live-action countryside path. The music is light and breezy – flutes, acoustic guitar, and soft strings.

---

2. EXT. LIVE-ACTION FOREST – DAY

They hike through lush, green woods. Birds chirp. Dappled sunlight flickers through the trees.

Honey Monster giggles as a flittery animated dragonfly buzzes around his face.

Honey Monster (laughing):
“Shoo! Silly bug!”

He stumbles over a log, regains balance, and Ruffy pants happily.

---

3. EXT. LIVE-ACTION MOUNTAINS – LATER

They stand before Coniston Old Man, majestic and towering. Honey Monster puffs and begins to climb.

But he slips! His arms flail—

Honey Monster (panicked):
“Uh-oh—YIKES!”

He grabs Ruffy’s tail just in time! Ruffy digs his paws into the ground, holding firm. Honey Monster dangles, then pulls himself up.

Honey Monster (gasping):
“Phew! Good dog!”

---

4. EXT. LIVE-ACTION BEACH – EVENING

The sun begins to set. Waves shimmer under a purple-orange sky. Honey Monster and Ruffy arrive at the quiet beach, worn out and groaning with hunger.

Honey Monster drops his backpack, opens it, and pulls out a box of Sugar Puffs, a bowl, and a spoon. He pours them carefully. The cereal sparkles with golden sugar.

Honey Monster (content):
“Sugared honey…”

He munches happily. Ruffy laps some puffs from a smaller bowl.

---

5. EXT. BEACH – CONTINUOUS

Honey Monster hears the waves. He stands up, eyes wide.

Honey Monster (grinning):
“MMMMMMM…. YUMMY!”

He rips off his hiking clothes, revealing colourful swimming trunks underneath, and runs into the sea with arms flailing.

Ruffy barks, leaps in after him. Both splash and swim joyfully in the rolling surf.

---

[ON SCREEN – TEXT & VOICEOVER]
Text: Tell 'em about the honey... yummy!
VO (Honey Monster’s voice):
“Tell ‘em about the honey… yummy!”

[WIDE SHOT – LIVE-ACTION SEA]
Honey Monster and Ruffy are seen playfully swimming and splashing in the background as the Sugar Puffs box floats gently into frame.

Honey Monster's Hike

Super Survey

“Splashing in the sea with your best friends, sun on your back and nothing else to do.”

I'm Here

I had a big row yesterday

With a friend of mine

His name is Alan

And his shouting sent me cryin’

When Lady Penelope tried to reason with me

I groaned and ran away

Parker followed me in Fab-1

And mummy found me by the sandy bay

“Are you mad?” I asked as she walked up to me

“Heavens no, darling, as you can see,

Your friendship with Alan isn’t over yet,

But I’m still here, there’s no need to fret.”

So lying warm in mummy’s arms,

I suddenly feel all safe and calm

She hugs me tight, lying down on the sand

We safely snuggle hand in hand

Suddenly Alan came running right in

From playing volleyball with Tin Tin

He snuggled next to me, tears in his eyes,

And said something which took me by surprise:

“Look, I’m sorry I shouted at you,

Listen to me loud and clear.

I’ll never scream at you again,

‘Cause that’s what all friends fear.

But if there’s a party on Tracy Island,

We can yell and scream all we like

I’m following you every step of the way,

You’re a mischievous little TYKE!”

On last word, he playfully pinched my cheeks

Causing me to giggle

He kissed me multiple times down my side

And gave my tummy a tickle

For the rest of the day I felt safe

By Lady Penelope’s side

I know now that I also felt safe

With Alan’s endless pride.
