Christa9

When Christmas comes about each year,

I give a happy cheer!

The scent of pine is in the air,

From the Christmas trees spreading Christmas flair!

Packed malls with banners of flashing red,white and green,

Christmas puddings being bought,no one stays lean!

Santa hats can be seen,

Christmas cards flying past,

This Christmas will be a blast!

We sped down the steep hill, so fast it almost seemed like flying, but I had no idea what flying was next. There it was, looming up in front of us. The flying-fox, as tall as a skyscraper. A strong metal seat hung from the metal cord.

The man running it beckoned the girl who had won the frantic dash. She gulped and silently stumbled towards it. She sat on the metal seat and the man buckled her in. The metal sparkled like diamonds as the sun illuminated it. I stared with amazement at the huge valley bellow the flying fox. If someone fell ...

There was a grating noise as the girl sped down. She shrieked in astonishment and fear, then she was lurched forward like a ragdoll as the top of the seat the three rubber tyres at the end of the cord collided. In the sweltering heat it seemed like it was hours before my turn, but finally it came.

I gasped as I walked up to the seat. My black hat shielded my eyes from the sun as he buckled me in. I sat for a second and slowly slid my eyes to the valley. Gorse blotched on the valley below. ‘what if I fall?' I thought, ‘it's so extremely high...'

Then I pushed off. At first the long grass tickled my feet, but then the ground plunged downwards. My hat flew off, down into the maze of gorse, and the wind ripped through my hair. I was a bird free in the air.

The tyres nearly jerked me off at the end and another man helped me down. But my hat was gone. I was devastated. It was my dad's... Suddenly I spotted Mrs Kahi entering the dangerous gorse on a perilous journey to retrieve my hat.

After enjoying another go and greatfully thanking Mrs Kahi, I trudged up the hill, yawning, with my friends. The dust ran across the grass as we looked for more activities to do.

In bed that night I thought of the Farm Park. That would come tomorrow... Sheep shearing, cow milking and best of all, horse riding... What else was to come?
