Poor Mini Sam, he tries!




( *sigh* )

Mr Dizzo and I headed off t the beautiful village of Avebury for an anniversary lunch today.  Avebury is a unique village, in that it sits inside a prehistoric stone circle, and it's a place that jj1564 and I often talked about as she loved the place as much as I do, but unfortunately hadn't been able to get there in the last few years of her life. 

Under the circumstances, we thought it would be nice to take some of JJ's minis with us just for old time's sake!

I had hoped that June's minis wouldn't lower the tone the way mine always did.

I was wrong.

First of all we went around the stone circle, exploring the stones...

I participated in the Mini GISH at the weekend, and item 46 was:

'Your toys like to go to festivals, too. You know this because you just saw them all in a big crowd or sandbox, watching your favourite toys and figurines perform on stage.'

... I mean, how could I not?

It's time for an Easter bonnet competition!

Now, my minis have a history of Easter bonnet competitions - they take it very seriously.  So, here we go with this year's entrants...

First up, Mini Team Free Will looking good in their floral ensembles.

Finally, my minis have their own home; a personal place of residence!

When I got my first Sam and Dean, they lived on my bedside table.  Then Castiel joined, followed by home-made Bobby and Baby.  Then they outgrew my bedside table and I had to move them to the office windowsill.  More minis joined the throng and they outgrew the windowsill.  Over the intervening years, as their numbers have continued to increase (not sure if it qualifies as an invasion or an infestation), they have at various times lived on the table nest, the sideboard, the coffee table and the dining table. But wherever they have been, they have never had a place to call their own.

Until now.

Dear paraders, here are my minis proudly  showing off their new home:

While mini Team Free Will were out in the snow, some other teeny weeny peeps were out enjoying the experience.
Some for the very first time ...
