Having grown tired of Neverland Peter's shadow escaped the Darlings' house and attempted to hitchhike across England.
"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

Great captions so far, but there's still time for some more before I pick a winner in the next few days.

Miranda didn't think much of Barney's latest idea to spot his father by just standing at the side of the road all day.

Barney even considered climbing onto the back of the lorry, but that space was already taken

Miranda, that's a new quiet electric van not a ghost lorry.

All the captions were excellent, and it was so difficult to choose just one. So, the top three captions in reverse order are:

In third place is Viv:
Viv of Ginger Pop wrote: Barney even considered climbing onto the back of the lorry, but that space was already taken
In second place is Barnard:
Barnard wrote: “Where did you get that creature?”, asked the van driver.
“I won it in a raffle,” said Miranda.
And the winner is Bertie:
Bertie wrote: Miranda didn't think much of Barney's latest idea to spot his father by just standing at the side of the road all day.
Well done, Bertie, and over to you for the next one.

Oh, wow. Thanks Perce! And Pete. I really wasn't expecting to win that one at all. :)
