Excitement mounts for trip to Granny's house

TOYS ARE CURRENTLY WAITING EXCITEDLY to know if they are to be taken to visit Granny's house tomorrow when Emily goes to visit her grandparents. The short trip will last a few days of half term and already Queen Spurry and King Chris have been speculating about which toys will be taken.

'I expect I should be taken, and of course with my wife,' said Chris, patting Spurry on the head. 'The problem is of course sometimes Emily doesn't take small toys on trips like these in case we get lost. What do you think, Spurry? Spurry? Where are you?'

Spurry quickly returned with a baking hot tray of homemade blueberry muffins, and explained her thoughts. 'I think the only toys which will certainly be going are Ducky and Shawly - they are bed toys and have an automatic advantage.' Ducky and Shawly have slept in Emily's bed every night of Emily's life unless she was on holiday in which case Ducky stayed at home, because of his size.

Ducky is very excited about the prospect of going to Granny's house, to drink cups of Rington's tea and be there to cuddle Emily after she has got back from a trip to Ikea or a walk in the park.

'I'm so excited!' quacked the Bostonian Bear Factory duck.

'But I'll be wearing clothes this time!' he added, showing off his new Hello Kitty pants. Ducky is two years old.

Past toys to visit Granny's house have included Edd the Duck, Peter Wizard, King Cheeky and Marissa Cooper. Other toys which have never been are keeping their fingers crossed for this time - including Canada Jack, the new arrival the Hungry Lion, and Prince Stephen, son of King Chris and Queen Spurry.
