… and so over the next few days I'll be bringing you some scenes of a Playmobil Pandemic.

People are allowed out for exercise, but must practise social distancing. Janice and Preston are both out for a run but are making sure they don't get too close.

I think this a small local shop and can't afford a Perspex screen

Looks like more patients for ICU Grin

Well, at least the bank have a Perspex screen! Grin

In the pharmacy Eluned hands in her prescription and buys a tube of sun cream, while Geraint waits for his prescription to be ready.

Fantastic as ever! I hope the playmo people are using contactless payment as much as possible.

petalpower · 15/04/2020 10:37

Will we find out if Marta and Matthias are self isolating together?

You'll have to wait and see, @petalpower! I'm sure they are using contactless as much as possible.

Just asked for post to be removed as it was slightly personal so here's the new revised one. I just loved the fact DS made the masks out of blu-tack! I'll have to try and encourage more make-believe Covid set-ups! Love your set-ups Smile

Love it! One look at a Whimsey and I'm instantly transported back to my childhood 😊😊

Op...I think I love you. Thank you for this.

pussycatinboots · 15/04/2020 14:05

Brilliant!
Shame that the pub is out of bounds...or will the Rozzers have to stage an intervention due to a lock-in and close it down...?
Hmm

purpleme12 · 15/04/2020 14:05

I love the Playmobil threads

FlibbertyGiblets · 15/04/2020 14:12

Wonderful! Thank you.

chomalungma · 15/04/2020 14:14

Maybe one of the Playmobil people will be on the phone to the Daily Mail to report people not socially distancing?

bettybattenburg · 15/04/2020 14:17

Maybe there will be a playmobil fight scene after somebody has a BBQ and invites all their friends Grin

WeBuiltCisCityOnSeeingSouls · 15/04/2020 14:18

I think (based on my house at least!) whenever the lockdown restrictions are lifted some of the Playmo people will need to be replaced with Weebles for full realism.
