In his bid to finally rid Sherwood Forest of outlaws the evil Prince John has decided to burn it down.

No Wifi. No Xbox. And water from a well?! This definitely isn’t normal.

Bobbie (that’s me), Peter & Phyllis (ow! Stop pinching me) – I mean Phil – have been swept off to the English countryside by our Mom, who is suddenly far too busy to play with us.

Left to explore our new home, (if you can call it that), it’s not long before the railway calls from the bottom of the garden. As we follow the tracks to the local station, we discover a whole new world full of strange characters, romance (stop retching, Peter), peril and questions that definitely need answering!

What to get Mr Perks for his birthday when we can’t even afford sweets? Why is the 08.11 always late? And where has Dad gone anyway?

Come join us as we tell our story, our way.
