Part One - The New House
'Mummy,' said Toby, 'Will you ask Daddy if I can have pony riding lessons?'
'Yes, of course,' answered Mummy, 'I'll ask him this evening.'

'I think pony riding lessons would be good for Toby,' Mummy said to Daddy, 'It's healthy exercise, and will also encourage confidence and a sense of responsibility.'
'I agree that it is a good idea,' said Daddy, rather unexpectedly, 'Because hopefully we will find a house to buy in the countryside soon, and he could have a pony of his own, and maybe that will be an opening for him to make new friends there.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY002_zpsvh1bxqm9.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY002_zpsvh1bxqm9.jpg.html)
'Toby!' called Mummy, 'I have good news for you. Daddy agrees that you can start having pony riding lessons.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY003_zpsbznwgifc.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY003_zpsbznwgifc.jpg.html)
'But first we must get you kitted out with a hard hat and riding clothes.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY004_zps73zyqd5o.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY004_zps73zyqd5o.jpg.html)
Mummy booked riding lessons at the local riding school and, excitedly, Toby set off for his first riding lesson.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY005_zpsybxki56e.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY005_zpsybxki56e.jpg.html)
'Here we are,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY006_zpsywlbu8zb.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY006_zpsywlbu8zb.jpg.html)
'This is Toby,' she said, 'he is here for his first riding lesson.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY007_zpsobu2hxgv.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY007_zpsobu2hxgv.jpg.html)
''We'll start with some exercises to loosen you up,' said the riding instructress, 'Hands in the air, and then touch your toes.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY008_zpsnu8d08bd.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY008_zpsnu8d08bd.jpg.html)
Sometime after this, Daddy had some news for Toby.
'Mummy and I have found a house for sale which looks ideal for us. We will all go and see it tomorrow.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY010_zpsdapvubqq.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY010_zpsdapvubqq.jpg.html)
'Here we are,' said Mummy, 'And here's the estate agent waiting for us.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY011_zpstquuuz3f.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY011_zpstquuuz3f.jpg.html)
'Oh, this is a big kitchen,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY012_zpsmnq4cwac.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY012_zpsmnq4cwac.jpg.html)
'This cooking range would have to go, though. I'm not cooking with one of these.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY013_zpstdmj0tvl.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY013_zpstdmj0tvl.jpg.html)
'I love the fireplace in this sitting room,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY014_zpszfexy9ji.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY014_zpszfexy9ji.jpg.html)
'The bathroom is functional, I suppose,' she said.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY015_zpss3u02aw0.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY015_zpss3u02aw0.jpg.html)
'I like this!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY016_zpswa0lwikr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY016_zpswa0lwikr.jpg.html)
'This is the first bedroom,' said the estate agent.
'Wow!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY017_zpsq9ivn0xj.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY017_zpsq9ivn0xj.jpg.html)
'And this is the second bedroom,' said the estate agent, 'Either or both of the bedrooms could be split into two rooms, making extra family rooms or guest rooms.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY018_zps18bbiy5f.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY018_zps18bbiy5f.jpg.html)
'We would have to install a new kitchen,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY019_zpsosbmxdar.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY019_zpsosbmxdar.jpg.html)
'And I'm not really sure about the positioning of this staircase,' she continued, 'Although I suppose it could be left here for the time being.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY020_zpsil1c3ce5.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY020_zpsil1c3ce5.jpg.html)
'I will show you outside,' said the estate agent, 'As you can see, the garden has great potential.'
'Great potential for a lot of hard work, I think,' muttered Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY021_zpsmvlqiaag.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY021_zpsmvlqiaag.jpg.html)
'And here are the outbuildings,' said the estate agent.
'Stables!' cried Toby, delightedly.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY022_zps6w2eexmc.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY022_zps6w2eexmc.jpg.html)
'I could really truly have a pony,' said Toby.
'Yes,' said Mummy, 'And though some parts do need a bit of work, I think that this is the house for us.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY023_zps5x5y4x1c.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY023_zps5x5y4x1c.jpg.html)
Tomorrow: Part Two - Moving Day

:love:
Awesome!
Love how the house is all detailed... and the pic of mommy with the parrot! And that is a HUGE building they went to see :o
Looking forward to part 2!
-
Wonderful! Another classic in the making. What dedicated parents, moving house to find one with a stable block (even though the kitchen is unworkable!)
-
Yeay, another Toby story! :woohoo:
Mum's picture on the fridge is my favourite detail.
That is a huge house :o I hope we see it decorated :) Although I agree the staircase in the kitchen is a bit weird.

Part Two - Moving Day
At the riding school, Toby continued with his lessons.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY023b_zpslkjkkknq.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY023b_zpslkjkkknq.jpg.html)
And when he came home one day, Daddy had a surprise for him.
'We've bought the house in the countryside!' he said, 'It's our house now!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY024_zpsshausfzx.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY024_zpsshausfzx.jpg.html)
Sometime later, Mummy said to Toby,
'The new kitchen has now been installed in our new house, and I've booked the removal van, so we need to start our packing tomorrow.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY025_zpsbe2nlet4.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY025_zpsbe2nlet4.jpg.html)
'We will all have to work hard at packing up our things,' said Mummy, 'And we also need to dispose of things that we don't want to take with us. Come with me...'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY026_zpsdfwhbjh8.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY026_zpsdfwhbjh8.jpg.html)
'All this mess of yours needs to go,' said Mummy to Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY027_zpsodepjcsy.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY027_zpsodepjcsy.jpg.html)
'Daddy, what do I use to pack my toys in?' asked Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY028_zpsesueqpzk.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY028_zpsesueqpzk.jpg.html)
'Here you are,' said Daddy, 'Pack everything in these boxes.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY029_zpsahzrajdn.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY029_zpsahzrajdn.jpg.html)
'It doesn't all fit in,' thought Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY030_zpstfsqmqwm.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY030_zpstfsqmqwm.jpg.html)
'Mummy,' he said, 'What do I do if my toys won't all fit in the boxes?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY031_zpskvklzhif.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY031_zpskvklzhif.jpg.html)
'You'll need some more containers,' Mummy replied, 'I'll come and help you.'
'There,' she said, 'That's everything packed.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY032_zpsdwp9ldu8.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY032_zpsdwp9ldu8.jpg.html)
'I wonder how Daddy is getting on.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY033_zps3gcxrjli.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY033_zps3gcxrjli.jpg.html)
'I'm taking these things to the Charity Shop,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY034_zpszrzoz4lf.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY034_zpszrzoz4lf.jpg.html)
And, finally, Mummy said,
'At last! We've finished everything now.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY035_zpslwaodsvk.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY035_zpslwaodsvk.jpg.html)
'Now Toby,' she said, 'You can watch the Removal Team, but you must stay out of their way.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY036_zpstdxrqags.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY036_zpstdxrqags.jpg.html)
'They are getting on with it quite quickly,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY037_zps1es8lqqw.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY037_zps1es8lqqw.jpg.html)
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY038_zps5xam9gcr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY038_zps5xam9gcr.jpg.html)
And then it was all done.
'We've loaded everything into the removal van now,' said the Removal Team Leader, 'So we'll be on our way to your new house.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY039_zpsfkhg281p.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY039_zpsfkhg281p.jpg.html)
'Goodbye Old House,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY040_zpstgibrknn.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY040_zpstgibrknn.jpg.html)
Tomorrow: Part Three - At the New House

;D
Loved the pic on Toby's bedroom too... and.. what is the small black horsy?
'It doesn't all fit in,' thought Toby.
Right! :-[
Packing in the kitchen is brilliantly done! :love:
'I'm taking these things to the Charity Shop,' said Daddy.
He BETTER not mean the gorgeous dog toy! :P
Looking forward to more! (were the cats helpful?)
-
I could be entertaining to myself, and say that Toby was bought the little horse after a pony ride at the Children's Zoo ... but I'll be sensible instead, and say that it came along with the miniature farmyard in the 5333 Children's Bedroom set. There's also one with a tiny magnet underneath in the 4334 Micro Farm.
Toby reckons he's grown out of cuddly toys...
And as for cats - they've become accustomed to my Playmobil Barricades, and now just knock them out of the way and trample over everything in their path.
-
Wonderful!!!!
A new Raven story with Toby and his family!!!!
Ohhh, that´s GREAT!!!
Love the floors at the new house! And the garden! :love:

Ah, he is the same size as the micro one? Cause I have the micros, somehow I thought he was smaller :-[

That's a really silly idea... Just sayin' :P

Not an improvement, I suppose!
(but still.. :picsplz: )

Part Three - At the New House
'Oh, the Removal Team have brought in quite a lot already,' said Mummy, as they arrived at the new house.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY041_zpse9aezmzy.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY041_zpse9aezmzy.jpg.html)
'Look, Toby,' she said, 'Your bicycle has been unloaded, so why don't you go and cycle round outside while the Removal Team finish unloading everything else.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY042_zpsjsitoh4o.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY042_zpsjsitoh4o.jpg.html)
Rather reluctantly, Toby agreed, and cycled off to explore the grounds of the new house again.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY043_zpspeobzcno.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY043_zpspeobzcno.jpg.html)
Meanwhile, the unloading of the removal van continued.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY044_zpslgs2y0pm.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY044_zpslgs2y0pm.jpg.html)
'Have they finished yet?' asked Toby.
'Yes, they've just now left,' said Mummy, 'So leave your bike in the car port and come indoors now.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY045_zpstbxvmrer.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY045_zpstbxvmrer.jpg.html)
'It's all quite a mess at the moment,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY046_zpsemfcqfq6.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY046_zpsemfcqfq6.jpg.html)
'These are all your things, Toby,' said Daddy, 'So start unpacking and put everything away tidily.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY047_zpsyqfop5hf.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY047_zpsyqfop5hf.jpg.html)
'I don't like the dresser there,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY048_zpsrqd1xkid.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY048_zpsrqd1xkid.jpg.html)
'Let's try it in the kitchen, then,' said Daddy.
'Yes, that's better,' said Mummy, 'But, oh, it's such a muddle in here, it's hard to know where to start.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY049_zpsbjiwdhde.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY049_zpsbjiwdhde.jpg.html)
'I need to just plunge in and start somewhere,' she said.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY050_zpstn7qq6pj.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY050_zpstn7qq6pj.jpg.html)
'How are you getting on with your unpacking, Toby?' Mummy asked.
'Er...' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY051_zps7vhdsddv.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY051_zps7vhdsddv.jpg.html)
But later, he said,
'It's all finished now, Mummy.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY052_zpsh4m9wgoc.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY052_zpsh4m9wgoc.jpg.html)
'Come and look round the rest of the house,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY053b_zps3z9m77og.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY053b_zps3z9m77og.jpg.html)

The next day, Mummy was up early.
'Look,' she said to Daddy, 'I've made a little list of the things that we need to buy for the house.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY057_zpsxn2mq1cw.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY057_zpsxn2mq1cw.jpg.html)
A few days later, there were visitors at the door.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY058_zpslr1xsz2e.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY058_zpslr1xsz2e.jpg.html)
'We are your neighbours from along the road,' they said.
'Come in!' said Mummy, 'How lovely to meet you!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY059_zpsam0l6j48.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY059_zpsam0l6j48.jpg.html)
'Toby!' called Mummy, 'Come and meet our neighbours!'
'This is Jessica, and her mummy tells me that she has a pony. So why don't you take Jessica and show her the stables, while we are having coffee?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY060_zpsw5601efa.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY060_zpsw5601efa.jpg.html)
'This is where I'm going to keep my pony when I get one,' said Toby to Jessica.
'You can come and see my pony tomorrow,' said Jessica, 'Wear your riding clothes, and you can have a ride on her, too.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY061_zpsfcfnma0d.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY061_zpsfcfnma0d.jpg.html)
Tomorrow: Part Four - Fun Times with Jessica

"little list" :lol:
-
Great story so far. I wonder what Daddy does for a living to afford a big country house like that? Write zoo guidebooks maybe?
-
^ :lol:
Zoo Reviewer?
Zoo 1: 'Very educational; but not always appreciated by children.'
Zoo 2: 'Commercialized. Too many things to waste money on. Children may like it very much, but that is not a recommendation.'
-
Love how there are SO many details in the house.. inspiring system X work!
And.. gods, they are fast! Maybe you should send Toby over, to sort my playmostuff :-[
'Look,' she said to Daddy, 'I've made a little list of the things that we need to buy for the house.'
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: That is a great pic!
-
Oooooooo!!!! I love Toby stories! This one doesn't disappoint either

Part Four - Fun Times with Jessica
'Yippee! I'm going to see Jessica's pony today!' said Toby, next morning.
'Toby! Come down from there!' said Daddy, 'That's dangerous!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY062_zpsxkrd2ca6.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY062_zpsxkrd2ca6.jpg.html)
'This is Freckles,' said Jessica.
'She's lovely,' said Toby.
'The horse is called Cloud,' said Jessica, 'She's mummy's horse, but she is retired now.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY064_zps4omodlrr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY064_zps4omodlrr.jpg.html)
'I'll ride Freckles on the way out, while you ride your bike,' said Jessica, 'And then on the way home, we can swap places.'
'Freckles is lovely to ride,' said Toby, when it was his turn.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY064b_zpsdjdroqzp.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY064b_zpsdjdroqzp.jpg.html)
After taking Freckles back to her field, Jessica said to Toby,
'Are you thirsty? Let's go back to my house and get some drinks.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY066_zpsltqjwa60.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY066_zpsltqjwa60.jpg.html)
'Do you like cherry soda?' asked Jessica, 'I'll show you where we can sit down.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY067_zpsvjetoqey.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY067_zpsvjetoqey.jpg.html)
'Would you like a glass for your drink?' asked Jessica.
'No, it's fine,' said Toby, 'I like drinking straight from the bottle.'
'Me too,' said Jessica.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY068_zps6yzobo4k.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY068_zps6yzobo4k.jpg.html)
'Can I use your bathroom?' asked Toby.
'Of course,' said Jessica, 'Come this way.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY069_zpsc843gn3c.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY069_zpsc843gn3c.jpg.html)
'I like your bedroom,' said Toby.

'Just go through there,' said Jessica.

'Thank you,' said Toby.

Back at home, Mummy said to Toby,
'You need to keep on with your riding lessons, so I've booked you a course at the riding school nearby.'

And so Toby continued to improve his riding. Sometimes even Daddy came to watch.

After the first heavy rainfall that year, Mummy and Daddy discovered that the house roof was leaking.

'That's dealt with that temporarily,' said Mummy, 'But we will need to get the roof fixed.'

'Here's Jessica come to play with you,' said Daddy to Toby a few days later.

'I know a great game that we can play today,' said Toby, 'But we've got to be quiet, because I know that Daddy wouldn't like it!'

That's.... GREAT! If I ever do a system X building with that, I will ADOPT the idea (if I remember ::) ). Amazing pic :love:

Are those original lamps on the right?
And again, great interiors - all the mess, the riding prizes (and toys), the cat on the couch and the vaccuum cleaner about... ;D
.. and the cat transporter on the wardrobe, and the bathroom lit :P
Tomorrow: Final Part - Toby gets a Pony
Final!? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Those lamps are from the 5182 Police Station - I really like them, though they get bent quite easily!

Final Part - Toby gets a Pony
One day, after Toby's riding lesson, his riding instructor had something important to tell Mummy.
'I know that you are looking for a pony for Toby,' he said, 'And a friend of mine, who lives not far from here, has one for sale which I think will really suit Toby. A very nice First Pony, only for sale because my friend's daughter is graduating to a Second Pony.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY079_zpsckdals97.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY079_zpsckdals97.jpg.html)
And soon after that, Daddy came to tell Toby,
'It's all arranged. You and Mummy can go and see the pony tomorrow. Jessica and her mummy are going with you, because they are experienced about ponies.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY080_zpsxmwyev5h.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY080_zpsxmwyev5h.jpg.html)
'All ready to go?' asked Mummy the next day.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY080b_zpscgr6jvcg.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY080b_zpscgr6jvcg.jpg.html)
At the pony seller's home, her daughter rode the pony first, to show how nicely he behaved.
'The pony is called Bramble,' said the seller.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY081_zps41oegrdl.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY081_zps41oegrdl.jpg.html)
Toby was a bit nervous about riding Bramble with everyone watching, but he quickly found out that Bramble was indeed very nice to ride.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY082_zpstiodzfoa.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY082_zpstiodzfoa.jpg.html)
'Do you like him?' Mummy asked him.
'Oh yes, very much,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY083_zpsqzsioyga.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY083_zpsqzsioyga.jpg.html)
Jessica's mummy arranged to collect Bramble in her horsebox, and it was a very exciting morning when Bramble arrived.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY084_zpsdrgtdo58.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY084_zpsdrgtdo58.jpg.html)
Jessica said that she would accompany Toby on foot for his first ride out on Bramble.
'You should only walk him, this first time,' she said.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY086_zpsuwmkpcws.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY086_zpsuwmkpcws.jpg.html)
'Even though you now have a pony to look after, you must still do your other jobs,' said Mummy.
'Yes I will,' said Toby, 'I like helping, anyway.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY089_zpsiuiyhy1r.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY089_zpsiuiyhy1r.jpg.html)
But, of course, what Toby liked best was to go for long rides with Jessica and Freckles.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY090_zpsyvv38her.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY090_zpsyvv38her.jpg.html)
One day, when they were late coming home, and darkness was beginning to fall, Jessica said:
'We must make sure to keep to the paths. This is a mysterious forest, and if you get lost, you'll end up in Fairyland, where there are fairies, and centaurs, and even dragons!'
'I don't believe you,' said Toby.
'But it's true,' said Jessica.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY091_zpsgqmw30wz.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY091_zpsgqmw30wz.jpg.html)
'OK then,' said Toby, 'So if it's true, then we should go and get ourselves lost, and find Fairyland for ourselves.'
'That would be dangerous,' said Jessica.
'No it wouldn't,' said Toby, 'Fairies are kind, centaurs are noble, and dragons never hurt little boys.'
'But I'm not a little boy!' said Jessica, 'I'm a girl.'
'Well, I guess they don't hurt little girls either,' said Toby.
'I don't like the word "guess" in that sentence,' said Jessica.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/TY092_zps7c2gmmgf.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/TY092_zps7c2gmmgf.jpg.html)
'One day,' said Toby to Mummy and Daddy, 'Jessica and I are going to look for Fairyland.'
'Aren't you a bit old for that sort of thing?' said Daddy.
'Oh no,' said Toby, 'I think that you need to be at least my age, just in case I've guessed wrong about the dragons.'
'I believe you must be over-tired,' said Mummy, 'Off you go to bed now, Toby, and Goodnight.'

Thank you :) Nice, very nice!
(as to bending, it's a common plague now :( )
Love all the detailed interiors.. and that garden - with the glass house :love: (can't remember the proper name now :-[ )
'Well, I guess they don't hurt little girls either,' said Toby.
'I don't like the word "guess" in that sentence,' said Jessica.
:lmao:
(but I think she's right!)
.. but... that's not the end, right? Now I wanna see fairies, and centaurs, and even dragons too! :hissyfit:

^ :) I think that they will probably be going next Spring or Summer....

Wonderful story! Thanks for posting it, it's been a great read/view.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the lovely story, Raven. It was a great Christmas present for us all! I thought there was going to be an Incident With Roof Ladders, but disaster was avoided....

What a lovely story Raven :love:
I especially liked the children playing and having their typical children conversations.
The wallpapering makes the houses look completely different, it's wonderful.
