WHICH OF THESE TWO HOUSES
IS DIDDILY'S

little house    It has one small red door
 It has two curtained windows
       And a painted wooden floor
A pretty red tiled roof
   Sunshine yellow are the walls
  The handle is bright green you know,
    Friends turn it when they call.

          Which house is Diddily talking about?

I wonder what Seligor has given Diddily to show in the cinema this week.
Oh my goodness there is a whole hour of PINGU. I do believe he has his baby sister there as well. Wow, don't forget to bring a drink with you and maybe if it's not dinner time you could have some biscuits  or sweeties.

Charlie has found you a lovely rhyming story about a Hedghog who was really a Prince

singing blossomHi! I'm Charlie,

One of the few remaining American chestnuts.
We were once an important part of the forest.
But when we disappeared, many animals lost their homes and favorite food.My family tree scrapbook tells this story. Will it have a happy ending?
That could depend on YOU!



I would also like to dedicate this story to Charlie the Charlie in his circus clothesson of my niece Jody and her husband Den, and my Sister Kath's first grandson.
Charlie is the first animal story I ever wrote, I was probably about ten years old.  If you would like a story about your pet?
Get Mummy or Daddy to drop me an email, saying what kind of animal  he/she would like a story about, and we’ll see what adventure we can put them in, when I write my next adventure

Before writing the new Charlie Story I have given you a really great piece of information for you to pass on to your Mum and Dad. It's about Clowns and especially an old one called Joseph "Joey"  Grimaldi. I am sure that your gran and grandad could tell you all about him, though even they would have only read about him in books

    The Missing Danish Pastries

Down at the bottom of the garden,Danish Hedge Goblins
A Danish Goblin dwelled.
And on, one, hot and windy day,
He screamed! and then he yelled!
"Who's stole my Danish Pastries?
And nicked my strawberry flan?

I'm undone, quite besides myself,
I, will have to make a plan."

The Elfin Artist

             In a glade of an Elfin Forest when Sussex was Eden-new,
             I came on an Elvish Painter and watched as his picture grew.
            A harebell nodded beside him. he dipt his brush in the dew.

Blue Fairy

A Fairy Came To Tea Last Night


A Fairy flew down to tea last night, she was wearing a gossamer gown.
But instead of her looking happy, she was wearing a terrible frown.
Little Bird, what are you Singing?
Little bird, what are you singing?
Little Bird what is that music?
I used to sing such simple tunes about love,

These are just few of the wonderful rhymes at Flora's Fauna. xx

THE BEE AND THE SNAIL

Bumble Bee"Hurry up, hurry up!" said the bee to the snail. It really is quite shocking the way you crawl; I have flown half a mile in the teeth of the gale, why you have not moved an inch away from the wall."
Blue Fairy

Up the sleepy village street,
Searching for a face to greet
Comes the wind with footsteps fleet.

"Who likes raindrops?" said the rain,
when the ground was parched and dry:

The Flower and the Star

The flowers are very near to me
The stars are far away;twinkle star
but yet their loveliness I see
In light and shining ray

 A new page with a new idea. It is here that Diddily wants to put things that you can do and make in your spare times. All of them a little bit different from the modern electronic stuff you all have nowadays.
{shush don't tell anyone, but Diddily loved her Nintendo, and Ifairy's still like Pacman and Mario the best with Donkey Kong a close third. }  I hope these will interest you all and they are to be done with the help of your older bFairy Flower in the Rainrothers and sisters as well as Mum and Dad, so you can print off the page you want and then set to and get them done.

Your never going to believe this but I have also put the one and only Mr Men on this 2nd video picture show now. I decided that whenever I am working, (she calls it playing,) with my youngest grand daughter that I end up covered in glue all over me, paint all over me, just like Mr Messy. Then after she has gone back home to her Mummy, I become Mr Tidy, and Mr Sleepy if there is one. So why not a thirty minute break to look at some of the Mr Men antic's. 
Next a bit of relaxation making a Pizza with the help of top chef John Mitzewich.

THE AMBITIOUS OGRESS
Brand new story for all Dexter fans

Puff the Magic Dragon

Puff

Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanah Lee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff;
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.


Dexter the Dragon and the Ogre's Battle 

    Dexter lived in a cave; he had lived in a cave all of his life  apart  from  w hen he went on holiday, and that wasn't very often. In fact it was so "not often" that poor Dexter couldn't remember when his last holiday was or even where he went to for it.
 
FUN QUIZ from Dadazi
Every question has a funny but logical answer. Click the answer button to see the answer.


What animal is grey and has a trunk?


What animal eats and drinks with its tail?


Watch out for more stories about Dexter later in the year but till then enjoy;


Come and pay me a visit in Pontybodkyn, I am sure I will be able to make you some Welsh Cakes and even a dish of Cawl if it's cold.
I'm afraid I don't have many scenes from Ponty but there is plenty more on Dexters Cinema this week

THE ELVIN COW

       Any one who has ever visited Wales will remember that one feature of its the Elvin Cowlandscape, as seen from the top of any of the wild Welsh moutains, is the number of beautiful little lakes, the lake often nestling in some hollow close to the peak itself: and as you look down into the water, the colours on its surface shift and change every moment, as the cloud and mist, the sunshine and shadow, sweep to and fro above it.


Melting Ice
I'm afraid Barbie is busy dancing with her sisters, in her
palace, at the bottom of this page.


RAIKO AND THE GOBLIN

Pine Valley Creek

A Horse That Wore Snow Shoes

Mr. Brown had to go to his camp at Pine Tree Valley, which is in the midst of the mountains in California.

ELVES AND ICICLES

In the land of Gily-keha not many miles away, there lived an Elfin Woodland Princess. Her name was Misti and her home was the Silvan Palace; high in the Silver mountains where she lived with her parents King Silvan and Queen Sereni.The Princess was a happy young elf but also a very lonely one for she didn’t have any brothers or sisters to play with.Misti was so sure that she would never find love.

Icicles
These work's about Jack Frost,

were given me by a young gentleman,
by the name of 
George E Dolan, age 9.
Firstly here is a Haiku of 17 Syllables.

Lord of the Winter
He sits on his Silver Throne
Gone in the Morning.




Next we have a wonderful way of describing the one and only
-   Jack Frost
                   
Jealous, of Santa being the Star of Christmas.
Anticipation, of when Santa dies,
Crying, will all the children be,
Kicking, with laughter, will be me.
Fortunately I still take part in Winter,
Raising the colour of the fields, making them White,
Orange and Red are my worst colours for they make everything go.
Sorry to see the sun
Terrible, will it be when I am in charge.
 Hello welcome to
