It's the Christmas season for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

... and so I'm bringing you an "Advent calendar" with a scene or two each day of what the Playmoland people are getting up to in the run up to Christmas.

Today in Lowbeach-on-Sea, Marta and her son Franz are putting up their Christmas decorations.

I am wondering if we should ask the Woolly Hugs thread crew to knit Marta a scarf and hat!

AviatorShades I must admit I was thinking of the Friday Night Girls I used to see out in Newcastle also !! (Apologies any Geordies reading, I loved my time up there in your city ! )

So many instruments. Lovely to see the performing arts thriving in our schools.

Utterly love this thread.
Mine were never into playmobil, I don't know why instead I have an attic full of Brio track.

burblish, you are very welcome!

EatMy, the beard is very 70s isn't it?

four, I expect Mr Wilson is a real ale type and belongs to CAMRA.

burblish has said it for me, this thread makes me feel happy, wondrous and grateful to you @SoMuchtoBits

I don't think you need to apologise to any geordies reading this, Laska, Newcastle peeps we met were so friendly, including our landlady who got up specially to cook us a fry up which included what she said was the Best Black Pudding Ever made by a local producer! Two things here...1)it really was a superb black pudding and 2)the landlady was absolutely heroic in getting out of her bed to go go shopping,cook the breakfast and serve it. We'd seen her the night before out partying with her mates

Thank you, kennel!

Is it an alto sax?

...Yes people in NE were v friendly and welcoming to this soft southerner (we lived in Durham for a couple of years and DS born there but that was 27 years ago now) ..

Lots of great times going out in Newcastle though previous to that.. (although I always wore a coat!!)

Saints, probably an alto sax from the size of it, if not it would be a tenor. It's defo too big for a soprano sax and too small for a bari!

Thank you for this thread OP!

You are welcome, Minecraft, as is everyone!

I'm late to the party as don't get much mumsnet time these days, but this is wonderful, thank you so much OP!

We have playmo too - I set up scenes, then DH gets hold of it and we always end up with Rock band VS Pirates

Welcome to the party Lily - it's never too late!

Posting early today, as off to work soon.

Today it's the Eastgate school Christmas fair. Marta is running the Guess the Weight of the Cake stall.

While Ulrike is on the teddy bear stall.

Matthias is in charge of the treasure hunt.

Renate and Gisela are running the ever popular cake stall.

Brigitte is running the toy stall.

And Kazuo's stall has second hand books and DVDs.

I love that you can see the snow out of the door window!!

I love the little cakes!

Matthias's Christmas jumper!

Lovely. Just lovely!

I'm really enjoying this. It's the best part of Mumsnet by miles, and possibly the best bit of the whole internet.
