... 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.

Those cakes look scrummy! Is there a Ms Darbishire on the staff at Eastgate PS?

KnittingSister · 14/12/2018 19:17

I love the little stories of what's happening Smile

How do remember all their names? Have you got a photo board?

Just read through with my dd5 she we loved it! You are brilliant! Love your attention to detail

She's just told me she felt very comfortable in that story Smile

Can I ask how long the school concert was? Our record so far is 2 1/2 hours. Love that the teachers had the energy for a concert and then a fair. They must be looking forward to the end of term, everyone here is shattered!

I love this, it's made me very happy this evening. Looking forward to tomorrow.

KnittingSister I have lists for each set with a description of the people and their names. Arranged by theme.

The school concert wasn't too long. The staff wanted to get home...

Today Marta is having a cheese and wine party. Matthias arrives with his son Emil, and brings a lovely bunch of flowers for Marta.

The adults enjoy a glass of wine, while the children have juice or water to drink.

Found you! A cheese and wine party-FABULOUSGrin
I'm going round to neighbours tonight. There will be wine. There will be cheese.
My Real Life is echoing that of the residents of Lowbeach!Xmas Smile
Thanks, Bits you're our Christmas Star

ForalltheSaints · 15/12/2018 12:41

Red Leicester or Double Gloucester cheese?

AviatorShades · 15/12/2018 13:56

forallthesaints, just wondering why a german family would have english cheeses?
SO...a truckle of something German then? We can rule out Limbuerger cos a)I think it's the wrong colour and b) it's too stinky and they're not wearing face masksGrin
So...what sort is it - anyone got any other ideas?
(think I'm overinvested in this thread)
But still love those sweaters tho..

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 15/12/2018 19:46

@AviatorShades
They brought, special festive cheeses from around the world.

AviatorShades · 15/12/2018 19:51

Prokup of course they did! Silly me!Grin

Marta likes a party, but a small scale one, not anything too big.

Xmas Smile @SoMuchToBits Xmas Smile Merry Christmas!!

Will catch up on the thread, just wanted to say hi! All our Playmo is packed away Xmas Sad (although I am constantly finding random tiny crucial bits around the house)

ChippyMinton · 15/12/2018 22:19

Whoops, I forgot, the DC insist on getting their (practically vintage) Advent calendar out every year [santa].

Chippy!!!!!! So good to see you! Haven't seen you for ages. Did you visit my Royal wedding threads in May and October this year? Can't remember seeing you on them. I'm so glad you're here, but Sad about packing away the Playmo. Ours is mostly in my summer house in plastic boxes, so I can retrieve it when necessary.
