Matilda sometimes goes missing here at our house. Hours can pass by and we don't set eyes upon her. But if you listen carefully you'll hear her sweet voice as she sings softly to herself. Follow those irresistible sounds up the stairs and into our bedroom and here you'll likely find her....playing industriously with my (I mean her) most favourite toy of all...Mum's Playmobil dolls house. Um, yes....it belongs to me. Ben bought it second-hand for me, for my 30th birthday - I'd always wanted one you see. But being the caring sharing type, I do quite happily allow Matilda and Harry to play with it. Well recently Ben and I noticed this amusing scene on the balcony - a hammock strung between two unicorns horns, with two little characters perched comfortably inside it, enjoying the view no doubt. We do often see such funny little set ups. They really make Ben and I smile!

Love the unicorn hammock. Photos all look beautiful. Love you all
Gorgeous dollhouse!!! Are these the best ones??? I'm looking for one for Lily's birthday in April but was looking at the wooden ones, have never seen the playmobil one.
We are HUGE Playmobil fans here - you should check out their website http://store.playmobilusa.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-US-Site
Till started playing with mine around age 3....and will still be playing with it when she's 10!! To buy one new would cost a fortune however - Ben picked mine up secondhand on ebay for a song. Harry has Playmobil sets too - they can be used in conjunction with the dolls sets - you know how it is, a viking village next door is totally appropriate right!
PS It's a high quality toy - Ben still has sets from his childhood. The toy company is German. Sometimes David Jones sells it. Occasionally I've seen it in toy shops.
