… 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 hope Brendan had a nice cup of Brew after all that hard work

SnugglySnerd · 02/05/2020 08:15

Well done, Brendan! I just noticed you have a proper Playmo road too!

FuzzyPuffling · 02/05/2020 08:21

Such a respectful workman. Well done Brendan.

CaptainCallisto · 02/05/2020 08:26

Well done Brendan!

It occurred to me yesterday, while I was doing Playmo with DS2, that I've still got a lot of my Edwardian set. Thought I might do a couple of 1918 pandemic pics to pop on here, if you don't mind somuch...

pussycatinboots · 02/05/2020 13:17

Captain do you mean ye olde "spanish flu" that could be interesting to see the contrast between then and now (social distancing).

SoMuch What was in the parcel ........? Grin

pussycatinboots · 02/05/2020 13:22

Oh, and can you send Brendan round to sort my garden out...DH just wants to hack at it like a savage. Smile

Katinski · 02/05/2020 13:49

Thank you again Bits for taking the time to stage these Playmo scenesSmile They bring me so much joy.Flowers

Got up a bit late today. Enjoying my Brew with Norm right now, then off to raid the summer house for some scenes for today.

Snuggly, the road bits initially came from three sets we had, playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4047 , playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4044 and playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4048

Then I bought some more as spare parts when I needed lots of road for Royal wedding processions...

It has been very useful for subsequent scenarios.

The royal household can't travel anywhere at the moment, so they are enjoying the gardens of Roundwood Palace. The Duke and Duchess of Paddleford and the Duke and Duchess of Ruggington are in the gardens with their children.

The older children have gone to play elsewhere, and the Dukes and Duchesses and Prince Flavian have been joined by King Athelstan and Queen Edith.

In the evening, the children have all gone to bed. The adults gather in the garden for multicoloured glasses of wine.

Oh love the Royals of Playmoland 😁

Real Royals who wear their crowns and princess dresses all the time

Have they had to send their staff home due to social distancing ?

Bloodybridget · 03/05/2020 14:23

Well, I'm glad the Royals are enjoying lockdown . . yes I'm wondering who's cooking and cleaning for them, too!

SoMuchToBits · 03/05/2020 14:53

They do have a few live-in staff (such as Martha) but any who don't live in are either working from home or furloughed I expect! Actually that's given me an idea for more scenes...

OP posts:
FuzzyPuffling · 03/05/2020 16:33

I'd like to see them struggling to do the cooking (as I imagine human Royals might do)
