You'll never believe this, I found a message in a bottle today! This is something you really dream of when you're a child, right?
Walking around on the beach with the dogs, at Hargen aan Zee and Schoorl (Netherlands of course), I picked up a plastic bottle from the ground. I shaked it around and heared some stones in there, then I opened the bottle, and saw:
"Hello my name is Covey Withers. I live in castle Donington Derby. DE742XJ.
Number 01332391378
Whats your name
please send a letter back
Bye Im 11 years old"
Will send the dear boy a letter and see how old he is now. Find it quite exciting actually, ha ha. He's probably forgotten all about it... Or will he still be dreaming of getting an answer from the other side of the ocean?
Will keep you posted and... keep on doing 'dreamy' things like this, people - even if you're not a child anymore, you never know what can come out of it (exept a less boring world)...
Visit the Derby Evening Telegraph's website tomorrow (Tuesday) for our story about the message in a bottle!
