Toy time

The Madwoman says we have too many toys.

Not true.

We just need a bigger toy box.

Toy story

Toy hospital has become a bit crowded recently,

so the Madwoman finally decided to get the needle, thread and scissors

out and get on with a bit of well overdue surgery

All the patients survived and were returned to the toy box

with a clean bill of health.

 A few had to be returned to the Madwoman for further surgery after Archie,

always keen to be of assistance, 

took it upon himself to check out the strength of the stitching.

Not an April Fool

We were going to do an April Fool blog, but by the time we'd thought up a really good one, the first of April had come and gone again. So we'll save it for next year instead.

In the meantime, excitement as the toys in our toy box got changed round again.

Makes up for the Madwoman hogging the computer recently - but more about that later.

Dashing and decisive as ever:

Archie homes in on the stuffed honking pheasant

Angel takes her time over her decision ...

And settles for the squeaky duckling

The Magic Toybox

Every now and then, the Madwoman swops our toys around: we have three different lots that get rotated round in our toy box, so they never get too boring. It's a bit like having Christmas once a month ...

Angel is reunited with her teddy ...


Archie has a rummage to see what's in the box this time round ...


Two toys are, of course, better than one ...

All the excitement can be tiring, and after an energetic play session, it's always nice to snuggle up with your favourite teddy for a nap ...
