...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

While Edward and Elliott are off on their bike ride, Elizabeth washes up and Emma is looking at her mum's phone.

Norman and his mates Bossy Ross and Brian are camping in a tent. They are enjoying a nice cup of tea.

Bossy Ross has been fishing, and is now barbecuing the fish.

Actually I'm surprised that Norman can sleep after the amount of caffeine he must have ingested, but maybe the fresh air will help!

Or maybe he had a glass or two of blue wine before his cup of tea?

Do you set these things up OP or do your dc?

Mine don't tend to be quite so artistic!

onemorecakeplease, I can see from Threads I'm On that you have posted, but your post isn't showing up when I click on the thread. So the answer to what I think you have asked is that ds used to help set up with the original threads (2011 when he was 10) etc, but he is now 18 and not really into Playmo any more, so I do it all myself.

Loving this, as are ds 21! And dd 17! We apparently have the same ice cream tricycle and seller somewhere.

Love these threads. Have high hopes for Gregor and Kirsty...or will it just be a summer romance? They are young, they will survive. Shona now, is a different kettle of fish. I do hope Dugald has honorable intentions. This is all terribly exciting.

LIZS, I expect your Playmo will be a similar vintage to ours, as ds is 18!

demented, I think that Gregor and Kirsty are an established couple. But not so with Dugald and Shona! Grin

dementedma · 05/08/2019 22:18

I feel Shona is vulnerable. Could Dugald be the one....or is he a cad in Playmobil clothing?

where is Norman? we need some stability.

Today, Caroline, Stuart, Louise and Roy are arriving at the campsite for their caravan holiday. Caroline gets out of the car to guide it into their pitch.

That's wonderful, SoMuchToBits
Is that actual water in the swimming pool??

Yes, it's actual water! Playmobil make all their swimming pools and paddling pools fillable. The shower actually works too if you press the squeezy button.
