… 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.

In the nursery, Nanny plans the day's lessons. Bertie plays with his train, while Alexandra takes her teddies and dolls for a walk around the room. Nanny wishes she could take them for a brisk walk!

Downstairs, in the kitchen, Anna and Molly prepare the lunch.

At the market, Bill is selling some flowers to Mrs Walker. Mrs Dale is taking her new baby out for the first time. Edward spots his two friends, Dick and James, and they wave to each other. The boys want to go and play together, but they know they're not allowed. They promise to write to each other instead.

Oh, those royals are just playing to the camera! I can't believe the Duchess is really doing her own dusting Grin

I love the clothes pegs!

I thought people who enjoy this thread might like to see the card a friend made for me.

@SoMuchToBits, my birthday was on Saturday. The card arrived yesterday (Tuesday); the post is taking a bit longer atm, I find.

FordPrefect42 · 06/05/2020 04:10

Placemarking as I love this thread 😀

Pinkarsedfly · 06/05/2020 05:58

Thank you, SoMuchToBits, I did!

Maybe someone in Playmoland is due a Lockdown Birthday? Zoom calls, socially distanced present delivery, coloured wine..?

SoMuchToBits · 06/05/2020 09:20

A belated Happy Birthday then @Bloodybridget ! From me and from all the Playmolanders. I'm sure they'll be happy to raise a glass of blue wine to anyone who has a lockdown birthday! Smile

Just to let you know, photos will probably be this afternoon, as I need to go food shopping before setting anything up! I'll be back later...
