Arthur's Adventure....

Arthur Pipple has just sent us these snaps from his holidays. Arthur is a Pipple with Connections! and always travels in style!!

Here he is in First Class, jet-setting to the other side of the world....
Arthur tells us the service was fantastic - although there weren't quite enough biscuits!!

But he did get a lovely fizzy drink with some slices of lemon in it....
Hmmm, what exactly was in that drink Arthur? Are you feeling a little sleepy now?!
Luckily Arthur was wide awake for his trip to see the Sydney Opera House. Wow!!!

And what a cool dude you are in your shades, Arthur!
Here he is in front of the Sydney Harbour bridge.....aren't you a bit close to the edge, Arthur? Watch you don't fall off! It's a long way down..... Not really sure you need that scarf now?!
And then, he tells us, he met some friends. At least I think they were friendly, they were smiling, although Arthur looks a little scared of the bits of wood the man is holding! No, Arthur, he won't hit you with them. Better say 'Bye' now though.
Thanks for those great photos, Arthur, we miss you, come back soon. x

3 busy Pipples, and a Flug......

*** BREAKING NEWS FROM PIPPLES AT LARGE ***

Evie has written in to let us know how her Pipples are getting on. She is the lucky friend to 3 Pipples (well, one belongs to her Mum) and a Flug. It seems in this cold weather they have been finding things to do inside so they can keep warm. Evie tells us:

'Hi, my pipples are busy on the DS, Flora (my mum's pipple) is showing Carla, Carlo and little flug Dylon how to play 'Wizards of Waverley Place!'' It must have been hard work, because a little later, the Pipples and Flug needed a break! Here they are having elevenses! Looks like they're having a lot of fun, Evie. Thanks for letting their Pipple friends know how they're getting on.

Lucky Lucia arrives in Australia!!!!

The Pipples were very excited to hear news of Lucia after her long journey to the other side of the world. Bec tells us,

"After leaving the cold snap in the UK, Lucia arrived on the first day of a heatwave in Australia, the temperature was 46 degrees C (114.8 degrees F)!!!

She had a big drink and a special treat!

She was eager to see how far she’d travelled!

‘Do the flowers smell different in Australia?’

After much excitement Lucia put herself to bed early – in the box of crochet and yarn! "

Ah Lucia, lucky you!! Sweet dreams - the other Pipples are very envious and are now dreaming of being somewhere hot!! x

A Fond Reunion and a Christmas wish comes true......

***BREAKING NEWS FROM A PIPPLE AT LARGE*****

We got great news today from Ali, Lennox and Aaron in Scotland, who tell us that the three new Pipples, Betty, Lupin and Duncan, have all settled in very well.

'As you can see they needed a nice long rest after travelling to arrive on Christmas Eve, so they perched themselves where they could on presents left by Santa.

On Christmas morn when they woke with Lennox and Aaron's gleeful noise, they got out of the way to spend time catching up with Trevor. "How are you all?" he asked.' (Trevor is the family's first Pipple, you may remember, and he had made a Christmas wish to Santa for some Pipple friends to join him. He must have been very good, as it has come true!!)

'Apparently Betty is Trevor's special Lady Friend so he was especially pleased to see her again. Lupin was quick to request a biscuit.'

'On Christmas night, full up on chocolate coins and biscuits (it was Christmas after all!), the new arrivals joined Trevor and the family in watching 'Doctor Who'. They were a little scared of the Master but huddled close and made it through the whole episode, eager for the next one. They were very fond of Wilfred.'

'Next day they helped Lennox and Aaron build their new lego.'

'They were very helpful, particularly Duncan who was thrilled to play with Indy's whip.

We will keep in touch with their adventures.'

How fantastic is that - what lucky Pipples to have such fun together!! I bet Trevor was so happy to see his friends.

A very big thank you to Ali, Lennox and Aaron. We look forward to seeing what your little Pipple team get up to next! x

A big hello from Olga......

***BREAKING NEWS FROM A PIPPLE AT LARGE***

We have just heard news about the lovely Pipple Olga, who has settled in nicely with Jessica, in Newbury, Berkshire.
Jessie (8) has taken to her really well, and as you can see, she is already encouraging Olga to try her hand at rock climbing.......

Oops! I hope that didn't hurt, Olga!

Oh, well done Olga!! What a brave Pipple you are!
Olga was very keen to check out her friends and family on the internet, and says a big hello to all her brothers and sisters.
It seems that Jessie and Olga have the same love of colouring things in. Wow, what a lovely lot of colours to choose from!

Apparently Olga's best fun by far has been "twenty questions". Olga seems to know an awful lot for somebody who has just come out of the woods, and she's very good at nodding and shaking her head.

Wow, what a lot of fun Olga is having - thanks so much to Jessica for the fab photos and for taking such good care of Olga, she certainly looks very happy!

'Look Trevor, you're high up!'
'That's it Trevor, settle down now.''That's what you're going to see Trevor, exciting huh?''TREVOR!!! Get off the back of the seat! The stage is on the other side!'

'Oh Trevor, your head doesn't fit in the bag! Even if it did, you'd get stuck!''There you go Trevor. Mind you chew the nuts properly.'

What a very lucky little Pipple to have such treats and to be looked after so well by his human family. Thank you so much Lennox, for sending us news of Trevor.

We look forward to hearing more next time.

A little while ago, we heard how Selina Pipple was settling in with her new friend Molly.

Here, Molly brings us up to date with Selina's adventures!

Molly writes:

"My Pipple has been getting up to lots of things. She played some games....

and has been checking out the dogs......"

Looks like you've found a friend there, Selina!

But Molly tells us - "the black one, Spike, he would rather eat Selina!"

OH DEAR!!!! But don't worry, readers, Selina escaped by riding on a dragon!! What a resourceful Pipple she is! Oooh Selina! Don't fall off!!

Molly tells us - " Then she arrived at white hilly snowy land of sugar."

Hmmmm, was that sugar all out like that before? Or was that something to do with you Selina? Honestly, Pipples and food, they do make a mess don't they?

But that looks like fun, Selina, you could go sledging on that couldn't you?

A very big thank you to Molly for sending these lovely photos in - it's so lovely to know what our Pipple friends are up to. Selina looks like she's having a VERY good time. You'll have to watch her, Molly, looks like she's an adventurous one!!

Unfortunately, they write they were "all set to send some photos of Trevor the Pipple settling in but then there was an 'incident'!"

Oh Trevor! What are you doing in the biscuit tin? Trevor, what have you done? Where are all the biscuits?

Oooh! Looks like Hamish is not amused. Did he tell you off? Well it serves you right.
