HEADING TO THE SMOKE

The girls have headed south to London for the Toy Fair. We assume they caught the 7.50am train as they did not show up for work. I bet there will be some sore feet by bedtime. Hopefully they will come back with lots of new ideas. Next week will see them jetting off to Nuremberg, so watch this space.

I'm not sure they will be having haggis, neaps and tatties. Burns night will be celebrated in many a home and hostelry. The Scottish National treasure will have his ode to the haggis recalled with great ceremony, no doubt followed by a wee dram, just to keep the cold out you understand.

One of the new toys that Little Tikes are bringing out this Spring are the pillow racers. There will be a ladybird, dinosaur and a turtle. These lovable cushioned characters allow your little one to race around on their new best friend. The caster wheels let them make 360 degree turns in any direction. The soft washable cover is easy to remove for washing, or cuddling up on for a short nap, recharged and ready for the off.

I think this could be great fun, I think my legs may be too long and I'm not sure I would get up again, but may just have to try in the interest of research. Enjoy your Burns Night, Julie

HAPPY NEW YEAR

A Happy and Healthy New Year to you all.

I hope you all had a good Christmas and Santa brought exactly what you wished for. We did have one very worried little one who thought Santa would not come if there was no snow. Hopefully come Christmas morning all fears were allayed. The decorations have been packed away for another year. New Year resolutions have been made, and as yet are still being adhered to. No doubt it will not be long before there are Easter eggs in the shops!

Our spares department has been very busy and we are now clearing the previous days orders. There are some items that we are out of stock of, but we will let you know this when you order. If any of you do need any spare parts for your little Tikes toys give us a ring on 01609 881302 or email us on spares@adventuretoys.co.uk.

The farm is fairly quiet at the moment. The majority of the sheep have been brought inside, and have been sorted into pens depending on how many lambs they are expecting. Hopefully there won't be any surprises before the end of February.

Next week sees the start of the Toy Fairs. The first one we will go to is in London, at Olympia. In the next few weeks I will be able to tell you about some of the new toys that will be available later in the year. What we liked and are looking forward to getting in.

Rumor has it that we may get some snow this weekend. I hope you are all prepared and have your sledges ready!!

Till next week keep warm. Julie
