… 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.

Yes, I got quite excited that I had a AAA battery and was able to switch the light on! Grin

It won't (hush) melt the piglets, will it?

I shouldn't think so! Grin

Grin I was just going to say that piglet will be roast pork sooner or later...

Anyway, I'm cracking (but not crackling) on with more photos for your enjoyment. And my Playmo planner is filling up with more ideas. And I may be planning some more purchases...

Oops, I may just have been on the Playmobil website and spent some more money... Blush

I have also noticed that we are nearing the 1000 post limit for this thread. This is the first time any of my Playmo threads have got anywhere near the limit, so thank you everyone for posting with your great ideas and comments!

I think I will now create a part 2 thread, and link to this one. I will be posting early tomorrow as will be working all day, so need to set this up now. Back soon!

We often put poorly newborn lambs under a heat lamp. Plus a dose of colostrum. Poor wee souls

I do love the heat lamp! And many other things about the new Playmo farm. Even ds (now 19) thought the stuff was "well engineered"! he still loves Playmobil even if he doesn't admit it!

I've been posting on this thread for a month now, can't quite believe it. My original plan was to do photos for a week's worth (which I did). Have since had so many ideas and suggestions that I've gone on from there.

Thank you to all who have posted suggestions. If I haven't featured them yet, that may be because I haven't yet had time/resources. But wait and see!

We did have some Happyland when ds was a toddler, but if I had my time again I would have bought Playmobil 123...
