Off Road
Alistair gave Caz a BigTrak Jr for her birthday. Leo has been learning to drive and today we persuaded Caz to take us out to Galleywood Common so that we could whizz about on the grass. It was sunny but quite cold, so we are wearing our warm things. I think Leo looks more and more like one of the Banana Splits!

A Walk In The Countryside
Finally we had some lovely sunshine today. Sunny enjoyed a trip to the coutryside and found a field which he took a fancy to. Although I now live on the outskirts of a city (my former town was granted City status a few weeks ago), it’s only a matter of minutes until we are out in the fields and it’s great to be able to breath fresh air whenever I want to. Sunny seemed to fill his lungs as well!

My Domos were a bit sad today as they had to say farewell to Sunny The Travelling Domo who has to move on his next host now. We have had a lot of fun with him during the last few weeks. Sunny gave a lovely speech as he prepared to board his shuttle which will drop him off in Scotland! More info. Ref: D1173-157
Bunnycide
The current Toybox 52 theme is a bit unusual - Get Pushed. Which means we got together with a partner and suggested something that they should use as a theme. My buddy was Nicky LG - who gave me the challenge "I Predict A Riot". A riot in the toybox is never far away, to be honest. The Domos have been saving this big chocolate bunny for Easter but unfortunately, three of the most ravenous Dunnys discovered its hiding place and made a start on devouring the poor creature. So, I think a riot when the Domos find out is now surely on the cards! More info. Ref: D1097_15
Scrat's Big Nut
We took a walk in the woods today to see if we could find any wildlife. Scrat was pleased to show off the big shiny conker he is going to bury for the winter. But he wouldn’t let us get any closer! Still, a great find for this week’s 52 Weeks Theme is Wildlife. More info. Ref: D1097_40

Pothole Diving

Send Them Packing
Geeky supervised as some of the Domos carefully packed up their brethren for a trip to the USA to their new home with our friend DollyBeMine. Farewell Domos, travel safely!

Piggy Reaches 100 (Peace Pig #100)
Pig has been travelling since early December, but because of the time taken between hosts, he has only just reached 100 pictures. So we thought he would have a little party to celebrate his milestone - and as a farewell as he will now be off to Ireland on the next stage of his adventures.

Sunny has been to many countries in the intervening period but today we are delighted to welcome him back! More info. Ref: D1173-002
Domo Grandstand
The Domo clan has grown and grown over the last couple of years - so much so that we're now up to 127 official Domos (plus another 14 of my own customs). We're just missing two of the little critters, one from the very first series and one from Series 5. As the current Toybox 52 Theme is Layers, fifty of the Domos from series 1-4 decided to get together for a group portrait. More info. Ref: D1097_14
Squaddy In Hiding
Squaddy enjoyed playing hide and seek in the woods with me today. He was pretty hard to spot!

Wingnut has his head screwed on just right. Well, if it comes loose he can always tighten it up a little…
