Popping Antony and TT each into a bucket of their own he pointed at his new-found bounty and asked me whether I wanted any. I declined.
As he chewed enthusiastically on a mouthful of ants, he asked me, 'How much more is there to see on Wight Island, New Dad? Have we nearly seen it all?'
I said there was much yet unseen, but if he was feeling homesick we could head back to Uckfield whenever he liked.
'Oh no,' he said, 'I'm having a brill time here… it's just that it's getting quite close to Halloween… and Guy Fawkes Night… and Xmas... and I wondered whether we'd be home in time?'
I promised that we'd be home in good time for Halloween.
Glancing at one of the other Fire Buckets I noticed that TT had built some teeny-weeny sand castles.
'Also,' Wilson continued, pausing to spit out some sand, 'I've invented a top new Family Card Game and I need to get it in production in time to hit the lucrative Xmas Market!'
