Bod is surprised to see Aunt Flo, P.C. Copper and Frank the Postman standing about in Farmer Barleymow's fields. It seems that the farmer's animals have escaped. Later they help Barleymow turn his farm into a Bed and Breakfast.

On a lovely sunny day Bod and his friends catch the train to the seaside. They are all having a lovely time on the beach, so much so that they don't notice the tide coming in - trapping Aunt Flo on a small rock.
