Private Notes
There's a new Cowboy Colin book and the children of Greendale are excited that their teacher Lauren has ordered a copy of the book and is going to read it to them once Pat has delivered it. The problem is, everyone else in Greendale is excited too and wants to have a look. Pat is delayed and once his van runs out of petrol he has no choice but to jump on Pumpkin and ride to school.
Big Bob, the bell from the church tower of Reverend Timms' church has been away to get mended. The children have prepared a special bell-ringing tune - Big Bob is coming back to Greendale. Pat has to deliver it to the church in time for the installation people to pop it in the bell-tower. But what started as a windy day turns into a gale, trees are blown down and the bell people can't get through! Pat needs to take to the air to make sure Big Bob Bell gets home in time for the children's song to triumph!
Pat has a special delivery for Amy - a brand-new very special breed of sheep. But on the way to Amy's, the new sheep escapes and gets mixed up with all the other Greendale sheep! The new sheep leads all the others on a romp through Pencaster, eating all the cheese and smashing all the flowers. Then Pat realises that Bonnie the dog isn't just a very cute ball of fur - she's also a rather good sheep dog!
A metal detector has arrived for Ted and he'd like to use it to find his grandad's medal for Nisha's grand exhibition of local historical relics. But before Pat can get it to Ted he's caught up helping lots of local residents find things they've lost - and happily most of them are metal, so the detector comes in very handy!
Michael is organising restaurant night at school and all the children have been busy cooking and baking special dishes for everyone to come and eat. The tables are laid, the guests have arrived, there is just a slight problem - there are no plates or glasses! Pat is on his way with the crockery delivery but as he arrives he slips on a puddle the children have left and the plates are all broken!
Dorothy is looking forward to a delivery from Pat - a hive of brand-new honey bees! Pat has all the gear for handling bees, but keeping swarming bees in a hive is a tricky business! As the bees escape and start to buzz all over Greendale it's up to Pat to chase and gather them all up again so that Dorothy can make her honey!
Doctor Gilbertson has a visitor arriving in the afternoon - her sister's cat, Bess! Bess looks rather similar to Jess. Pat and Julian have promised to get Bess to Doctor Gilbertson. It seems to Jess that Julian likes Bess more than him! When Bess escapes, it makes Julian realise how much he loves his good old friend Jess after all.
The train station in Pencaster is getting a brand-new stained-glass window, but the locals think that the new modern art window isn't all that great. Pat's job is to deliver it but when it gets a dangerous crack in it during the journey Ajay says he can't accept the delivery. Pat knows exactly who to ask for help and the children of Greendale School find their mosaic picture of Greendale comes in very handy.
Mrs Goggins has organised a fun sculpture trail, and lots of people have made sculptures.
Meera's expecting a gecko to arrive and has got a tank all ready to greet her new pet.
Mrs Goggins is really missing her home town in Scotland. A postcard from her sister hints that a gift is on its way and she looks forward to receiving it. Pat collects it at the sorting office - it's a set of bagpipes! On the way to deliver them to Mrs Goggins, the bagpipes come in rather useful and Pat even masters the art of playing them - just in time to deliver them, with much celebration and booming along the way.
Poor old Alf has planted a big garden full of juicy raspberries, but the naughty birds are eating them all! It's time for a scarecrow, which happily has just arrived at Pencaster Sorting Office. The funny thing is, it looks just like PC Selby! After lots of cases of mistaken identity and cheeky tricks, Pat finally gets the scarecrow to the field.
The Greendale Flyer is ready for a trip to the seaside! Julian is excited and he is packing buckets, spades, kites and a picnic ready for the fun day out. Pat and Sarah are all ready to go when an urgent call from Ben stops Pat - Mrs Goggins' handbag is at the sorting office and she is going to need it, especially since it has her train ticket inside. Pat whizzes off to get it.
It's Chinese Day at school and the children are really looking forward to a day of special Chinese-themed celebration, helped by Michael. As a special surprise, he's ordered a real Chinese dragon costume which Pat picks up at the sorting office to deliver to the school. On the way though, naughty horse Pumpkin gets the dragon's head stuck on his own and as he canters off into the fields the locals are terrified that there's a real dragon on the loose!
The children of Greendale have been practising for Karaoke Night and cannot wait for it to be time to sing. Everyone has a musical number prepared and they are ready to shake their stuff on the special stage that's been put up. The karaoke machine is pretty special too - it's solar powered! But it turns itself on in Pat's van and all its charge is used up, so it turns itself off halfway through the night!
Pat is delivering two things - Dottie the hamster and a didgeridoo from Australia - both to the school. But when Dottie goes missing and everyone is searching high and low for her, it's the wibbly-wobbly music of Pat playing the didgeridoo which helps to uncover her hiding place in the end!
Ajay's organised a Summer Special day on the green but the sun is so hot that the ice creams all melt, the paddling pool dries up and everyone wants to go home. Ted has invented a special weather machine that can make rain, wind, hail or snow. Now Pat has to deliver it to the Summer Special - without getting caught in a hailstorm, a downpour or a snowdrift.
Ajay has organised a big Skateboard Sizzle competition for everyone to show off their skateboard moves. There's a wonderful course set up with ramps and everything! Ajay is keen to do a master demonstration for everyone, but Pat's delivering his new skateboard and safety gear and he's late... It's not until Pat tries out his own newly-learned and a bit haphazard skateboard moves that Ajay finally gets his gear and show them all how it's done.
It's time for the annual Greendale Duck Race - where everyone has a little rubber duck and they race them down the River Penn. Alf and Ted reminisce about old times when they raced ducks as kids and realise that there was some cheating going on in the past. Ted and Alf decide to race again this year and each has something to prove. However, when the racing ducks Pat is delivering fall off the back of his truck and go missing and Ted and Alf's mega boats sink, the real helping hand spirit of Greendale returns and they help Pat save the day.
Dorothy has bought a super shiny new quad bike for her husband Alf's birthday. Pat has to deliver it, complete with its big red bow, before Alf gets home - he's out searching for a lost sheep. When Pat's van breaks down he has to ride the quad bike cross-country to get to Alf's on time.
On the way as luck would have it he finds the lost sheep - and the poor thing's stuck in a giant muddy puddle. Pat finds a handy new use for the quad bike and the bow and Alf's delighted to get not only a lovely new toy but also his favourite sheep back safe and sound.
Alf's homing pigeon Cedric is taking part in a big race and Pat has to deliver a special tracking device for Alf to attach to Cedric. Time is short so Pat is in a hurry - so much so that he doesn't notice a naughty magpie steeling the shiny tracker from his van!
Pat tries to track it down but only with the help of the local children, who are using a flying camera to take pictures of the local area, does he manage to get the tracker back and deliver it to Alf. Just in the nick of time!
Pat is delivering a big box of lovely ukuleles for Reverend Timms' Ukulele Big Band. Everyone is getting one and as Pat delivers them he finds out that they all have a little problem they need help with - happily Pat can help - whether it's tuning or plucking or keeping in time.
Reverend Timms is overjoyed as they all arrive playing a wonderful tune for him - and the children have a special treat for everyone as they play a song they have composed themselves.
Pat has a very unusual delivery - an enormous tree which Alf has ordered for Thompson Ground. Pat has strapped it into the four-by-four and is driving very slowly. Jess is worried about the little nest Pat has not noticed in the tree - it's full of baby birds!
The children have an archaeological dig in Thompson Ground too, as Alf thinks they will have fun digging whilst he digs a hole for his new tree. The children find a few treasures and finally Pat delivers the tree and the nest full of baby birds all safe and sound.
Pat's mission is to collect donations towards the brand new Greendale website. There is lots and lots to do and all kinds of obstacles for Pat along the way. It's a long day for Pat - but he's rewarded when the website goes live and as a special present the children have prepared a tribute to Pat.
It's Diwali and Nisha is trying to decorate the café with special fairy lights to celebrate. Pat delivers them first thing! But the lights break straight away, and then they realise that the electricity in the café is also broken!
Finally as the snow falls down Pat makes it up to the old post office in the hills to get the old lights out, hangs them all across the valley, and turns them on! Nisha is delighted, it's the most beautiful festival of lights she could ever have wished for!
Lucy has a special song to sing at the pantomime, but when Pumpkin gets scared by the snow, Pat is in a race to get her back in time. Pumpkin is sheltering from the snow in the old post office and only Pat's special delivery can make him leave.
