THE DESERTED VILLAGE ..

Mrs Tinker soon turned her car off the road which led from the village ..Now they were travelling on a small lane through Isenglas Park .To their right ..The ground sloped down to a large lake ..The water was bright in the sunshine .To their left ..The ground sloped down to a large lake .The water  was bright in the sunshine .To their left the ground sloped upwards .At the top of the little hill stood Isenglas Hall .Nobody lived in the old house now .It had been empty far a long time and no one took care of it .Mrs Tinker stopped her car by a gate next to the lane ..Jack got out and opened the gate .Mrs Tinker drove through it ..Into a field .She stopped ..In front of them was the archeological site ..The dig ..The area was a square and each side was about a hundred metres long .The grass had been removed from the site .Leo Gardener and some other archeologists had dug down to the ruins of the deserted village .The kids could see parts of the walls of the old houses.They could see the floors of rooms and passages and they could see parts of stairways .Leo was taking photographs of the site .He smiled at the kids and their teacher .It’s good to see you again he said .Your tents and sleeping bags are in my caravan .Put up your tents nows ..Then we’ll eat .And can i have the church keys please Frankie ?

Mrs Tinker put up her tent very quikly .Tom and Jack worked hard and their tent was soon up too .But the two girls were having a problem .
