… 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.

Don't stop Bits it is keeping us all going.

I'm certainly not stopping, elephant and I'm trying to take on board people's suggestions where possible! I love all the comments and suggestions on the thread, so please keep them coming. I may not be able to act on all the suggestions (depending on my resources) but will do what I can! Smile

Bless you Bits

Brilliant Bits. Perhaps a Playmobil school with a few key workers and a few children?

petalpower · 04/05/2020 22:26

I’d like aPlaymo lockdown day at home. Maybe a bit of homeschooling, someone exercising ( is there a Playmo Joe Wicks?), someone on a work conference call, someone trying to cook with random ingredients.
Don’t stop the Playmo scenes - we love them!

SoMuchToBits · 04/05/2020 23:03

@purpleheathers have already done school scene in gym (don't have a whole school, sorry

@petalpower some exercise stuff may be already in my plans! Wink
Cooking with random ingredients sounds good though....

Brilliant brilliant! Just caught up.

Everyone looks busy at work. I wonder if the playmoland people are finding time for hobbies?!

As many of the royal household staff have been furloughed, the royal family are having to do some of the domestic chores themselves. Prince Jared, Duke of Ruggington is doing a bit of vacuuming.

Redwald, Duke of Greenchester thinks about sweeping up with the dustpan and brush, but isn't sure his back is up to it, so he gets his son Jabez to do it instead.

"I think we put the laundry liquid in the right part of the dispenser" says Zuleika. "Yes" says Jasper "and hopefully the washing won't all shrink. By the way your hair looks nice, have you done something different with it?"

Today's are glorious and are probably exactly how the rest of the world imagines the UK in lockdown.

AvengingGerbil · 05/05/2020 08:18

Prince Jared is wielding that vacuum cleaner like a man who has never seen one before! I’m sure he will get better with practice.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 05/05/2020 09:06

He does look a bit scared of it.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 05/05/2020 09:09

Have any of the Playmo people been helping to make PPE or sewing scrubs? (In other words: do you have a Playmobil sewing machine?)

LIZS · 05/05/2020 09:10

Love it. Will royal children be delivering food parcels to the elderly?

Pinkarsedfly · 05/05/2020 09:11

Fantastic!

CatkinToadflax · 05/05/2020 10:04

The Royals wearing their crowns whilst doing their own housework has made my day! Brilliant! Grin

petalpower · 05/05/2020 10:37

I’d like to think that this is what’s happening behind the walls of Windsor at the moment!

CaptainCallisto · 05/05/2020 11:37

Here's my 1918 Playmo contribution. Hope you enjoy them! (Apologies for the towel sky - my pictures aren't up to somuch standard Grin )

Sir William and Lady Toyton are in the summerhouse reading, but are interrupted by Wellington the dog.
