… 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.

Lovely to see the Royal Family again Smile and thanks for the links to roads.

Maybe they can Skype their usual cleaner to check whether they're doing it right.

Oh I hope the Playmoland Royals won’t be expect their government to support them paying furloughed staff

I can see a revolt happening as they look to have plenty of money

SoMuchToBits · 03/05/2020 17:19

I'm sure the Playmo royals are paying their furloughed staff themselves. They are usually quite generous.

Hello somuch, I found your email (little used account) how thoughtful you are. Hope you and your son are keeping well. Loving your thread as always SmileFlowers

SoMuchToBits · 03/05/2020 18:42

@SunshineDays2019 you are very welcome. Fortunately @petalpower tagged me on your thread so I saw it! I wanted to make sure you didn't miss out when I started posting.

Safe to say that with my new parcel (which I will investigate fully at the end of the week when I have more days off) and suggestions from this thread, I now have plenty of ideas for at least another week's worth of scenes. Smile

Loving the royals! I've been wondering, how are Finley and Natalie doing? Are they still in hospital?

KIng Athelstan is taking a break to stretch his legs in the garden with his brother Redwald and his sister Alfreda.

Sorry that wasn't Redwald and Ethel, it was Alfreda and Osric! Blush

Here, Redwald and Ethel (Duke and Duchess of Greenchester) are being photographed by their daughter Lady Felicity, who is a keen photographer.

She also takes a snap of her brother Jabez, sister-in-law Alexandra and their children Matilda and Barnabas. Oh dear, Matilda isn't looking at the camera!

Nice to see Lady Felicity using the lockdown time to enjoy her hobby!

Dk20 · 04/05/2020 09:07

@somuch I dont knowhow you have the willpower to not open the parcel immediately!
Loving the royals Smile I'm glad even the royals cant take a perfect picture, much like my family, theres always someone looking the wrong way Grin

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 04/05/2020 09:07

I expect with their busy Royal schedule it's rare for her to have all the family in one place.

SoMuchToBits · 04/05/2020 11:23

@Dk20 I have opened the parcel, as I wanted to check everything I ordered had arrived (it had!), but I haven't opened any of the individual sets, as they will take some time to assemble. A new set always takes longer, as you have to follow the instructions, put all the little components in, stick the stickers on etc.

I'll be off to work in about an hour (late shift), but have taken some more photos this morning for tomorrow, as working a long day tomorrow.

Have a good shift Bits

SoMuch can't wait to find out "what's in the box" Grin

petalpower · 04/05/2020 12:19

I wonder if Lady Felicity is based on any member of the RL royal family?

SoMuchToBits · 04/05/2020 12:30

Haha, petal, she wasn't intended to be, but she just seemed to have a camera in her hands at the royal weddings...

Anyway, must dash or I'll be late for work, back later!

SoMuchToBits · 04/05/2020 19:49

Back home now, work was quite pleasant today. I'll be posting early tomorrow as working a long day.

Anyone else fancy looking at some lighthearted photos of the plastic people in lockdown?
