...and so every day during August I will be bringing you some photos of what the Playmolanders are getting up to this summer.

Holidaymakers are on the ferry to the Isle of Browne

This evening's entertainment on the ship is an Elvis tribute act. Mostyn and Ceridwen are enjoying the evening.

Elvis! 😆 Brilliant!

I'm very shocked that this isn't considered your main job OP. What's the matter with the world !

I think the Playmoanlanders will be feeling down once their lovely holiday is over .They will need the thought of a Hallowen event to cheer them up .

Oh that has so made my day !! Love the Elvis!!

FuzzyPuffling · 30/08/2019 10:36

Elvis! I had to call my DH in to look - he likes Elvis.

Please can you post a picture of all the playmobil you have and how you store it. Do you have original boxes ?
I am really intrigued.

SoMuchToBits · 30/08/2019 10:59

habibi, most of it (except Norm and mates who live in the dining room) is stored in my summer house. I have a shelving unit for most of it, and it's stored in large plastic storage boxes, according to theme.

Love Elvis , is he vintage?! Can't wait to see tomorrow's conclusion, if a bit Sad that it will end. This thread has been such a bright spot throughout August.

SoMuchToBits · 30/08/2019 12:30

Elvis is from series 2 of the Figures blind bags, so from about 2012.

When the blind bags first came out, we tried to buy most of them (doing a lot of feeling the bags so as not to get duplicates). This means we have quite a random selection of figures, many of whom have been useful in ways we never imagined! Grin

I bought two blue-footed boobies to go on DD's Noah's ark (at 01:45 this morning, while I couldn't sleep). I actually can't wait for them to arrive! Thank you, OP!

SoMuchToBits · 30/08/2019 21:04

Brilliant! Hopes that male and female blue footed boobies look the same.

I hope you enjoy them! I have wanted a Playmobil blue footed booby for some time, so was pleased to have the excuse of buying the island juice bar!

SoMuchToBits · 31/08/2019 05:55

I have checked, and blue footed boobies do look the same, and also do a fabulous mating dance!

Anyway, today Mostyn has hired a little rowing boat to take the children out, while Ceridwen goes surfing.

Nia and Dafydd thought the banana boat sounded a lot of fun, so Ceridwen has hired it this afternoon for them. Meanwhile Rupert and Clarissa take a stroll on the beach and Stella has a day off, so is enjoying a drink at the juice bar.

Ceridwen, Mostyn, Marged and Alun enjoy a drink together on the last night of their cruise. Cheers!

And that concludes the Playmobil summer holiday season. Thank you all for sharing it with me. Smile

Thanks SoMuch - I love your Playmo threads Smile

CountSnackula · 31/08/2019 09:55

Aww, thank you, @SoMuchToBits - I've loved this!

(I looked up male and female blue-footed boobies, too, to make sure I wasn't going to fall into a terrible booby faux pas - the ladies are bigger than the men, so I'll have to examine them carefully when they arrive.)

ThinkWittyThoughts · 31/08/2019 10:29

I have really enjoyed this thread and found this badge today whilst clearing out some old boxes and thought of you all.

Thank you a thousand time SoMuch. I love the Playmo threads and am amazed at the amount of work you put into them.

It's been a joy and a delight and I can't wait for the next ones! (Hint hint...)
