She loves it and wants 'Flopsy & Tim' every night. My 8 1/2 year old boy wants to come and listen too as he remembers me reading it to him......and their favourite bit.....'Wait for me ......I'm a box of matches'!!!!!!!!! Love it, love it, love it. I'm also a 70's party girl. My parents used to do so much for my parties, amazing cakes and crazy games. I'm trying to keep up the good work with my own children...but it's blimin hard work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235005910423737820.post-72895491795049872702009-08-09T05:02:00.638-07:002009-08-09T05:02:00.638-07:00Oh this was my favourite too, thanks for a little ...Oh this was my favourite too, thanks for a little trip down memory lane - I remember being fascinated by the pink rings around T and T's mouths when they were at the party tea!

And so does my littlest - I can recite T&T go on an airplane by heart, having read it on planes for several hours on the trot. <BR/><BR/>Mummy is so glam, isnt' she? I can only aspire to that level of domestic fabulousness :)<BR/><BR/>I really like the slightly knowing undertone that's present from time to time as well - in T&T go to the swimming baths there's a lovely illustration of tim crawling through mum's legs and topsy balancing on the carpet sweeper while Mummy's trying to do the housework instead of taking them to the baths, with the text "Topsy and Tim stayed close to Mummy in case she should change her mind"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235005910423737820.post-21255145266428415232009-02-25T01:47:00.000-08:002009-02-25T01:47:00.000-08:00Thanks for reminding me about Topsy and Tim, I abs...Thanks for reminding me about Topsy and Tim, I absolutely loved the stories when I was little, and I love them even more now because of the pictures!vintagetownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015591607793236637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235005910423737820.post-64227931819649403722009-02-21T14:57:00.000-08:002009-02-21T14:57:00.000-08:00Thanks for all your comments - I'm glad some of yo...Thanks for all your comments - I'm glad some of you have shared the pleasure and that it may encourage some of you to explore the early editions with your children!
