A treat Lady Penelope ('15) gets out from the freezer when I feel sad about something, like, my favourite toy is torn to shreds by Sherbet. Also a treat Stitch nags from the freezer in the background of an ITV soap opera.

Nuzzle
I'm 3 years old. Pure, black velvet coating my body, a little white muzzle on my snout...me and Lady Penelope ('15), my new mummy, swimming pure and simple in the lake of the desert. Just us two, cuddling and swimming - her ladyship - or what was once her ladyship, now an unclothed desert wanderer.
Nuzzling is a way I can show my love and affection without words - she loves me, even after my mother is gone, she is my new mother.
Gentle, kind and patient - and a lover of wild horses.

Rabbits
When I hear the 2018 Black Rabbit Of Inle's voice, she sounds so pure and soft. I almost teared up hearing Mara Carlyle's Field Of Snow, because I thought of the 2015 version of Lady Penelope talking in that exact, soft, calm, kind, patient manner to my 3YO self....telling her there is absolutely nothing to worry about...that it's okay to cry....that it's totally okay to do anything, even when others push you to the ground.
The sort of mummy everyone wants.
Vaseline
Radiance is a mother's job. Lady Penelope ('15) uses this in quiet time to keep her skin supple and sensuous. When I see her, I want to eat her, and we play a game of 'Cake Chase' where my fellow mansion family members and I run after her, and then pile up on top of her, cuddling and squealing in joy.
Kamara
Our protector, when we are exploring the desert.
Cool, delicate and soft under our bare feet, Brains, Alan, Tin Tin and I have nothing to fear. Kamara is always patient and guides us to where we can keep cool in this once-piping-hot place. She is a second mother to us.
TNN Presents, In Association With The Daily Planet:
T T Retro Cures Blog Creator's Hiccups!
When she went out with her support worker, she got a bad case of the hiccups from eating a big lunch after a horrid storm too quickly. As always, she got a bad case of the hiccups, but who do you call when the chips are literally down? Certainly not Superman, that's for sure.
"The owners of T T Retro definitely cured our friend's hiccups," remarked Tracy Island resident Tin Tin, one of her friends. Being an engineer all her life since 1965, she has been glad to have other jobs as well - her true one is caring for her dear little friend. "I never knew a comic book store would be an unexpected cure for her hiccups, but it was."
"She has been a truly brave soldier, confronting her hiccups through her interests," commented Bucky O'Hare, member of the S.P.A.C.E patrol.
"She's surely found her cure this time, Snarf Snarf!" added Snarf, long time member of the Thundercats.
Here's hoping that whenever one of you comic book fans comes across this wonderful store when you have hiccups, being interested in something would cure you and rid you of hiccups once and for all.
Sticker Dolly Summer Camp: A Review
Sticker Dolly Dressing Summer Camp by Fiona WattMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Much better than CBBC's airings of Summer Camp Island!
Would ultimately recommend for those who are seeking boredom busters when stuck inside away from all the heat in the extreme British weather.
Would recommend to kids and grown ups alike.

The 65 Storey Treehouse: A Review: Will Andy & Terry & Jill Survive The Storm?
The 65-Storey Treehouse by Andy GriffithsMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Will not read again, as with The 26 Storey Treehouse.
It's mainly due to the storm keeping me up all night.
Will not read again in case it happens again.

Dirty Bertie: Fame! A Review
Fame! by Alan MacDonaldMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Did not read due to issues with myself.
However, Dirty Bertie is really funny, and the first story in this book is a true favourite of mine - he finally gets a bath!
A very hysterical read, would recommend for younger readers.

My Brother's Christmas Bottom: Unwrapped - A Review
My Brother's Christmas Bottom - Unwrapped! by Jeremy StrongMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Was a trigger story for me.
Bought back memories of the early 2011's on Disney XD, specifically I'm In The Band, what I think is a combined ripoff of Fred The Show and Family Guy I find quite annoying.
Not reading again.

Five Minute Story Treasury: A Review
Five-Minute Stories by Fiona WatersMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A treasury of charming stories.
No other author would write or adapt the stories featured today. When I bought this book from the charity shop, I knew it would strike me in the heart.
Would highly recommend for five minutes before an important job.

Usborne Little First Dinosaur Stickers: A Review
Les dinosaures - Mes petits autocollants Usborne by Kirsteen RobsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Such a wacky and wild sticker book!
The dinos are very Aardman-like in appearance, which won't be surprising for those wanting to follow in Nick Park's footsteps.
Highly recommend for hand made animation activists and wannabe animators!
