Introduction

The stories are about a young dragon called spit, who inherited a cottage from his old auntie in Devon.

He becomes very good friends, with his next door neighbour, witch copperwand.

They have all sorts of adventures and things not going, as well as they should do.

One adventure they had together was a week in Misty Hall.

It was a dark stormy night, the lights where flickering, copperwand asked spit to get some candles and a torch from the kitchen.

Spit starts to walk down a long hallway to the kitchen, when all the lights went out.

Spit froze he could feel something or someone behind him.

chapter one

Spits New Home

Dragon Spit, was eating his large bowl of porridge and a very large mug of tea, thinking to himself, I am a very lucky dragon, my old auntie left me this lovely cottage in Devon.

Although I do miss mum, dad, and my younger brother and sister who live in Wales.

Never mind I can visit when I want as it is not far away.

As for the cottage, my kitchen is large with a big range, a large open fire, with a copper cauldron over, an armchair and a large rocking chair, a lot of cupboards, and a very easy to clean floor, which is good, as I can make a lot of mess at times.

My lounge, has a large sofa, with a large pouffe for my feet which sounds posh, big T.V, and a log fire, and a large coffee table for my evening snacks.

Two bedrooms upstairs, a loo and a shower, oh I forgot the loo downstairs, which I made bigger as I got stuck in there on my first visit.

I have a lovely garden, full of flowers and vegetables, a shed, and a large greenhouse, plus a small orchard with apple and pear trees, lovely plenty of food to eat, as I love food and cooking.

Hence my size a very large green dragon with yellow spots.

My next door neighbour, has become a good friend, and great fun, as she does have some mishaps, which is unusual for a witch, “ YES A WITCH” not your average neighbour.

Witch Copperwand, is not a bad witch, she is a good witch, who loves to collect herbs to make, potions, lotions, wine, beers and loves to cook.

She will only use magic when needed, she is teaching me all about herbs, and how to make, all sorts of things.

Crackle village is just down the lane, it has a Greengrocers, that belongs to Mr and Mrs sprout, a Post Office which is joined in with the Hardware store that belongs to Mr and Mrs Stamp.

Mr Shin is the Butcher, he does some lovely sausages and bacon, it makes me drawl thinking about them.

And as for the Baker Mr and Mrs Cream, those sticky buns are “YUM YUM”.

The Grocers or Convenience store has a large stock of all the items you need, that’s run by Mr and Mrs Foodhall.

Mr Sherbet runs a most wonderful sweet shop, that I have ever seen, and as for my favourite “ fudge “ the different flavours he makes are out of this world, “ HO NO “ Iv just drawled all down my front thinking about fudge.

And I must not forget the Fish Monger Mr Squid, and Mrs Squid who looks after our local Fish and Chip shop “lovely chips”.

Mr Bone is our local Doctor.

Mrs Paper is the teacher at the junior school, Mr parchment, is the headmaster, a bit strict I hear. And of course Mr Pray our Vicar, and Mr Law our village policeman. The crackle ton inn has a thatched roof with lots of flowers growing all around the front, the back garden has tables and chairs, so you can enjoy sitting outside in the summer, they make a lovely steak and kidney pie, which I treat myself to occasional, and as for the treacle tart, covered with clotted cream, pure dragon heaven, finished off with a glass of shandy, as I am not a drinker.

And to much spirit can cause trouble , being a fire breathing dragon, I can remember my old granddad Spark, drinking a little to much sherry at Christmas and grandma Cinder getting very angry as, granddad belched and set fire to grandmas best table cloth, she never let him drink again.

We also have a sports ground, plus a village hall. A very pretty chocolate box style village to live next to. Oh yes I forget Mr Spanner at the garage, he has a rather nice, motorbike and side-car, I am thinking about buying. No time to sit about, I have to look in on Copperwands pets as she is out for the day. What type of pet do you think they are, a cat and dog I “bet”. No its a bat called Bertie and a barn owl called Mr Hoot, trust Copperwand to be different.

I am feeling very “happy” indeed today, spit said to himself with a big smile.

chapter two

Chicken House Mishap

Spit has been thinking about buying a chicken house, as he does a lot of cooking and it would be nice to have fresh eggs, on hand.

Spit looks through the adverts in the paper, and sees a flat pack, assemble yourself house, that looks good, I should be able to manage building that.

Spit gets on the phone and orders the house.

It will be delivered tomorrow morning is that “OK”, that will be ideal, thank you , “good bye” spit said.

Great said spit, it is going to be a nice warm dry day tomorrow, I will get all my tools together, ready to start.

Later that day copperwand came for a chat, and of course a large piece of chocolate cake, that spit had just made.

I have just ordered a chicken house, lovely fresh eggs that will be good, when is it coming asked copperwand, tomorrow said spit, I look forward to seeing the finished product copperwand said, all being well said spit.

Spit got up early, and put on his porridge, when there was a knock at the door, Mr spit, the driver asked, that's right, I have a delivery for you, where would you like me to leave it, round the back please, would you like a cup of tea, no thank you, I am running a little late, but thanks anyway, that's “OK” said spit, thanks very much.

“OH NO” my porridge, the kitchen was filled with black foul smelling smoke, spit took the pan off the stove and threw it into the sink, he opened all the windows to get rid of the smoke.

Spit looked at his pan, which had a rather large hole in it, that’s a good start to the day he said.

I will have toast instead, and he burnt that, “OH” bother, I will just have a cup of tea, that should be safe, “OH NO” it was not the handle fell off his mug, this is not a good sign, I think I am going to have one of those days.

Best foot forward said spit, all I need to do is read the instructions carefully, and build the house as they describe, what can go wrong.

Spit starts to build, the floor followed, by the four corner post then two sides, the back end, then the door panel.

So far so good said spit, no problems.

The last thing to do is assemble the roof, and screw it down to the frame.

But there is a problem the roof doe's not fit right, spit shuffles the roof about, no good he said, I will have to get inside, to see what is stopping the roof fitting properly.

Spit crawled inside, and tries to slot the roof down, “OH NO” I’m stuck, spit could not move forwards or backward, “OH” bother, darn and bum, he growled , spit gave an almighty push,there was a crack, grind and groan as the whole house fell down around spits ears, and the roof went with a crash right on top of spits head, spit let out a yelp it “hurt”, he stood up, and jumped up and down with rage.

Stubbed his claw on his big toe, spiked his tail on a nail sticking out. copperwand heard all the noise and clatter, what are you doing spit, having a disaster said spit, poor old spit had a lump on his head, a throbbing big toe and a swollen tail.

What happened asked copperwand, spit said all was going well, until it came to the roof, which would not fit.

So I crawled inside and got stuck, and it all fell down around my ears, so I see said copperwand, come on she said, let me tend to your wounds, and make you a cup of tea, with a nice large sticky bun, that sounds good, I didn’t have any breakfast, why not asked copperwand, that was another mishap said spit, “OH” dear poor old spit, come on lets cheer you up.

Spit decided to leave the house, and have an early night, to rest his head, tail and toe.

Next morning spit felt better, I will have cereal this morning, and a mug of tea in a metal mug, I do not want to go through yesterdays calamities.

Spit started to get the wood panels assembled again, when he heard copperwand, I have come to help, “OH” thank you, said spit I could do with the help and company.

Come on then she said, lets get the job done.

A couple of hours later, the house was built.

It looks good said copperwand, not bad at all replied spit.

Time for lunch I think said spit, would you like, sausage, bacon and chips, copperwand and a nice large bowl of rice pudding for afters, yes please said copperwand that sounds great after a mornings work, come on then, and off they went.

After they had finished there lunch copperwand said to spit would you like me to come with you, when you go to buy some chickens, that would be nice he said.

They both raised there cups of tea, till tomorrow then, they both said with a smile.

chapter three

Chicken and food disaster

Spit woke up still feeling a bit sore after yesterdays mishaps, but was not going to allow that to spoil his day out with copperwand to buy some chickens and food.

Spit had a good breakfast, and was ready, when copperwand knocked, is all well this morning, asked copperwand , so far said spit, lets go then she said .

Spit jumped on his bicycle, copperwand on her broom stick, and off they went side by side down the lane.

They arrived at Mr straws farm, to see cows, pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks and chickens, what a farm all these animals to look after said spit.

Copperwand jumped of her broom stick, straight into a cow pat, spit laughed, that’s not funny, I shall smell like an old cow all day she said.

Spit went off to look at the goats, the billy goat, was looking at spit in an odd way, copperwand could see what was going to happen, the goat started to charge at spit, who was bending down at the time, looking at the rabbits in the hutch.

The next minute, spit let out a cry, as the goat butted him straight up the bum, “HA” “HA” went copperwand now who's laughing, spit just gave out a grumble.

Come on she said, lets sort out some chickens “OK” replied spit.

Spit decided on Rhode island red chickens, as the farmer said they are good layers and friendly.
