New Year's Eve 2025 Pyjama Party

It's a Party!

Image

Quite a group of friends have gathered for a New Year's Eve Pyjama Party.

Image

Lots of games and merriment is to be had

Image

The boys are enjoying a game of Snakes and Ladders

Image

Come on Hamish, throw the dice.

Image

The girls are deciding what to do, while Mary finds some music on the stereo

Image

Emily, Avery and Nisha look like they are ready to tuck into the strawberry tarts

Image

They are all having a lot of fun.

Image

There are drinks, the bubbly is the non alcoholic type of course.

Image

Image

Marcus is wondering if he can go and join the boys.

Image

All having a wonderful time

Image

The boys are very intent on their game!  Henry looks like he might have eaten rather too many mince pies over Christmas with that belly!

Image

Happy New Year's Eve!

and if you are tuning in tomorrow...

Happy New Year's Day 2026!

Peggy Sue's New Friend

I meant to post this at the end of May!

The other day I looked up and saw these two chatting.  It was uncanny really as I hadn't set them up like this, but sure enough they look like they were in deep conversation.

Image

Turns out they have become very good friends having found things in common.

Both of them of course have red/auburn hair.  Robyn is the great (or is it great great?) grand daughter of Emily Bennett who returned to England after the war.  Peggy Sue is of course American and came to England in November 2012, so they have a similar heritage.  Of course Peggy Sue lived through the war being over 100 years old, although she strangely is still a child.  

Image

Having decided they are firm friends, they wanted to have similar clothes. 

Image

These two hand  knitted dresses look so pretty on them.  It was a lovely wool to knit with and drapes well.

They have requested various items of clothing....

Image

Here they have dresses knitted from the same yarn.  The patterning on Peggy Sue's skirt makes it look a little odd. 

Image

The girls were excited to get a new settee

Image

and tried it out for size

Image

Robyn felt sleepy after a while.

In June they had to go to the mainland (blood tests and specialist appointment)

Image

So enjoyed staying up late to catch the midnight ferry!

Image

Image

Peggy Sue met a mermaid and was puzzled as to why she was so far away from the sea and looked most concerned.

Image

Robyn met the resident pig riding dwarf!

Image

Coming back they got to see the ferry leaving the port.

Image

Image

They just chatted on the way back about their adventures.

At the beginning of July they had to go back up again (more blood tests!)

Image

This time the weather was a better, and they got to spend some time in the garden.

Image

They visited with Katie, who belongs to The Princess

Image

Katie showed them the peppers and other plants in the garden.

Image


Image

Wren also joined them.

Image

What fun they had despite it being a very quick visit.

I wonder what they will get up to next?
