As I looked out this morning.....

this is the sight that greeted my eyes..........

yes, a new group of Pipples had trudged out of the woods, and were coming across the fields in the snow.

And can you spot someone following...... right at the back? Someone struggling to keep up? Yes, look, it's a little Flug! At least I think that's what he is - it was quite hard to tell with all that snow....
The snow was very deep and the Pipples found it very difficult to cross..... one of them got a bit stuck......but Pipples are really good at helping each other, and managed to get her out quite quickly.Then it was just a matter of getting over the wall.......the little Flug was still managing to keep up although he looked a bit puffed out!the first Pipple made it to the top of the wall, and the others helped each other in the usual manner.....
until they were all up. Then it was time to knock on the door.......and when I opened it, there they all were.........

even the little Flug.......eventually!

Hello and Goodbye.....

What a busy day!

First Freya and Hetty had to get ready because they were going to a lovely new home.

They were very giggly and silly because they were so excited.

They had their breakfast, then got their labels ready and then the doorbell rang.

And hello! There were five new Pipples standing there. And most exciting of all - there were 3 baby Pipples!!!

The bigger Pipples had shown them the way and here they were! They all helped to say goodbye to the girls.

Freya and Hetty have a long journey so they took a jaffa cake to share and a book to read in case they get bored.

The other Pipples waved them off.
Bye bye, Freya and Hetty! Don't forget to send us some photos.

There you are, all safe and snug for the journey. xx

A bit of adventure.....

Now that the Pipples have been here a few days, they are getting more confident.

Orly the Pipple is perhaps the most adventurous at the moment.

This afternoon , he went missing. He was nowhere to be found.

The rest of us spent a long time looking for him. Then we found him.

What are you doing there?

Watch out you don't get burnt! It's a good thing the fire wasn't lit!

Now where have you gone?

What are you doing up there?

Oh I see, you just wanted to know what time it was.

No it isn't time to go shopping. Come out of there!

Then Merry discovered the mirror in the hall.

And spent all day there.

She was soon joined by Peggy. They spent a long time, just looking at themselves......

Yes Pipples, you are beautiful!

4 Pipples.....and a Flug!

Exciting news - last night, four more Pipples made it all the way through the woods, across the fields and over the wall...........and following them......very slowly......was the first Flug!!

They were on the doorstep this morning.

The Pipples had had to wait a long time for the Flug but they were kind and didn't want to leave him on his own because they knew he would get lost. Flugs are not the brightest of creatures. And they don't have a very good sense of direction.

The Pipples introduced themselves, from the left is Mabel, Miranda, Freya and at the front is Hetty. All girls this time, although they did tell me that some boys are on their way.

The Flug is called Arthur.

He searched around for a long time when he came in, looking for some wood. Flugs, as you know, love wood. Once he had found a log beside the fire, he stayed there for a long time, watching everyone.

The next time I looked though......oops! What are you doing down there? Did you fall asleep?

I don't think you do it like that! Do you need some help?

Oh that is very kind.

Happy now?

Jolly good. Night night, then. xx
