Flash's story

Some years ago, when Flash was only 100 or so years old, he went on holiday to the Maldives. He had a wail of a time, and relished in the fact that he could fly round the whole island in just one afternoon. He even considered packing a light lunch of worms, and flying off on a day trip to the neighbouring island, but Mummy thought it may be a little tiring, all that flying in one day, and he was too young to stay overnight on his own. Mummy suggested that instead he should try and make some friends that he could play with. So he made friends with this big stingray named Spark, although playing together proved a little difficult!!

Flash's story

Flash had a very important job at Mummy and Daddy's wedding, so important in fact that it required the wearing of a dickie bow.  His duties included standing guard (technically he was sitting guard) of all the thankyou gifts during the course of the morning, and supervising the setting up of the room from his inconspicuous military position under the top table. He took this responsibilty very seriously and by early evening his was pooped and had to make his excuses and retire early to his bed. (no cave for this dragon, he slept in the Castle!)

Flash's Story

Quite a few years ago, when Flash was only a baby dragon of 100 years old, he went to Dublin on holiday.  He partied in Temple Bar, drank lots of Guinness, and flew round all the old cobbled streets and completely exhausted his young wings.   Whilst Mummy and Daddy were stood in the lobby, waiting to check out of the hotel, Flash rested his tired wings and had a little lay down in Daddy's rucksack, leaving his little head popping out of the top so not to miss anything.  A group of men stood nearby spotted Flash, sticking his weary head out of the top of Daddy's rucksack, and pointed to him and laughed (Flash wondered whether he had not wiped his mouth properly after his worm lunch, and felt embarrassed that he might have mud around his chops).  However, Daddy was not at all embarrassed about the bright green dragon head looking over his shoulder, and turned straight to the group of men and asked all nonchalantly...

"are you laughing at my Dragon, guys??"

Now, it was the group of men that were embarrassed.  "errrr, no, no" the group exclaimed, as they bowed their heads in shame, and Flash wriggled his little body higher in the rucksack, puffed his chest out and poked his head out of the opening, just that little bit farther!!!

The story of Flash

The life of our little green dragon began in 2004, when mummy had him made at a "build a bear" factory as a gift for Daddy.  At first Daddy seemed a little less than impressed, but over time, Flash, as he was affectionately named, grew a life all of his own.  I told Daddy, all these years ago, that one day when we had a little baby (ie you), Flash could tell you stories of his adventures, travelling the world with Mummy and Daddy.  So from that point on, Flash went EVERYWHERE with us, and friends even started sending him postcards home from their travels.
