Lunasea on the Highway: SKIN RETURNS FOR MY BIRTHDAY

I woke up on my birthday feeling happy that I had survived another year, but sad that my little yellow friend was still missing.

I drove into Bundaberg with a heavy heart and started to walk along the main street.

As I glanced towards the coloured Marigold flowers in the park, I suddenly heard a little voice singing,' HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!'

I knew that voice.......it was SKIN!

'WHERE ARE YOU?' I screamed at the top of my voice. Everyone walking along the street stopped and looked at me as I ran frantically round and round the Marigold flowers. ' COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE....PLEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!'

BUT SKIN KEPT HIDING.......

Can you see him?

Luckily I did before anyone called the Bundaberg police again.

I ran over and picked him up and gave him a huge hug and then a little lecture on the dangers of running away. He said he would tell me what happened over a hot coffee.

We found a FUNKY FOOD cafe to celebrate my birthday and Skin's return.

I ordered a rich cheesecake for myself and a cake with yellow icing for Skin

I even put on a party hat because I was so pleased to be 56 and so pleased to have my banana back with me.

Stephanie from FUNKY FOODS made an excellent coffee for us to share and also arranged our cakes with great artistic flair on the black plate.

We then made our way to the Bundaberg tourist information centre where Michael told us about the special things we could see in the area. He placed Skin on a map so he wouldn't get lost again.
