Together Grandpa and Jack inhabited their own world and had c_____s imaginary adventures.

The legendary Spitfire was, of course, their absolute favourite. Seeing her always brought Grandpa’s memories of the war f________g back.

Of course Grandpa’s e_________c behaviour made the grown-ups worry.

She was one of those teachers who somehow managed to make an exciting subject deathly d____l.

As was often the case he could hear m________d voices from downstairs and wanted to listen to what his parents were saying.

“Well, we’re all really really really worried. Now please let’s not have a competition about who is the most worried!” she shouted a_____y.

Most memorable of all was the time Grandpa decided that a shopping trolley at the supermarket was really a Lancaster bomber. He hurtled down the a_______s on a top-secret mission, hurling huge bags of flour.

N_____s to say, Jack’s parents had been extremely reluctant to move the old man into their home.

Of l____e, Grandpa would become tired during the day. So he took an hour’s nap every day after lunch.

Dad was in his pyjamas and d_______g g______n, hunched over the steering wheel of the family’s little brown car.

From their overalls and spades, Jack assumed they must be g________s. Though it seemed strange that they were digging graves in the dead of night.

However, being only twelve years old, Jack felt p_______s to do anything.
