 Mouse update... it won't be around any more. Nuff said...

Ah well. That's what fiction is all about. After all. I've never heard of real wolf saying 'I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!'.

  1. The posy is adorable!! So is Mrs Mouse with her cute little stove where she bakes her cute little Apple Pie. But, yes, real mice are quite a different story.

    1. The Brambly Hedge books are beautifully illustrated, lovely little stories for children. Someone has taken the time to create these little videos, aren't they gorgeous!

  2. Beautiful posy. RIP mouse. So much work went into the Brambly Hedge 'films' - all stop motion filming and lots of attention to detail. Clever.
