Welcome to Seligor's Castle

The Home of Diddily Dee Dots Stories
for Sleepy Children Everywhere.
 
 These pages will give you a small idea of what is on all the web site pages.
To save you from going down and down and down even further, Diddily has placed all the different  things  on a page of their own.
So if you want to go to visit the Badgers of Fingles Wood,
just click on their page and away you go.
If you decide you want to go and watch the wonderful film of the "Dark Crystal," you will find it on the special television inside the "Elves and Icicles" Story Page. This is a wonderful film but a little scarry.

Have Fun xxx Diddily Dee Dot xxx    


        
I must tell you all that this is a special little video show, and warn youthat what ever happens they are cartoons like Tom and Jerry and the little mouse isn't really hurt. Honest Seligor.
It is always a good idea to check out all the video's before you let the children watch them as it is possible for the odd "Roadrunner" to get past Smile

I wonder what Seligor has given Diddily to show in the cinema this week.
Oh my goodness there is a whole hour of PINGU. I do believe he has his baby sister there as well. Wow dont forget to bring a drink with you and maybe if it's not dinner time you could have some biscuits  or sweeties.

CHARLIES JUNGLE ADVENTURE

I would also like to dedicate this story to Charlie the Charlie in his circus clothesson of my niece Jody and her husband Den, and my Sister Kath's first grandson.
Charlie is the first animal story I ever wrote, I was probably about ten years old.  If you would like a story about your pet?
Get Mummy or Daddy to drop me an email, saying what kind of animal  he/she would like a story about, and we’ll see what adventure we can put them in, when I write my next adventure.

Before writing the new Charlie Story I have given you a really great piece of information for you to pass on to your Mum and Dad. It's about Clowns and especially an old one called Joseph "Joey"  Grimaldi. I am sure that your gran and grandad could tell you all about him, though even they would have only read about him in books

    The Missing Danish Pastries

Down at the bottom of the garden,Danish Hedge Goblins
A Danish Goblin dwelled.
And on, one, hot and windy day,
He screamed! and then he yelled!
"Who's stole my Danish Pastries?
And nicked my strawberry flan?

I'm undone, quite besides myself,
I, will have to make a plan."

Oh dear I really do think I rather spoil all you children. I mean where else can you go to get such a wonderful collection of songs and little stories. I think I was as lucky though when I was little for we had lots of books and with there being the four girls we made up lots of wonderful stories and we acted them out on the river bank and in my dad's garden. We even had a play in one of the hen houses once. Smelt a bit but it kept us out of the cold and snow., Lovely days those in Bont Newydd.

PAST TIMES 4 U fairy's

Fairy Flower in the Rain A new page with a new idea. It is here that Diddily wants to put things that you can do and make in your spare times. All of them a little bit different from the modern electronic stuff you all have nowadays.
{shush don't tell anyone, but Diddily loved her Nintendo, and I still like Pacman and Mario the best with Donkey Kong a close third. } I have lots of ideas that I'm hoping will interest you all and they are to be done with the help of your older brothers and sisters as well as Mum and Dad, so you can print off the page you want and then set to and get them done.


Your New Video Show is now available, start at the beginning and watch through to th end, you will not quite see a vegetable in the same way again.

Your never going to believe this but I have also put the one and only Mr Men on this 2nd video picture show now. I decided that whenever I am working, (she calls it playing,) with my youngest grand daughter that I end up covered in glue all over me, paint all over me, just like Mr Messy. Then after she has gone back home to her Mummy, I become Mr Tidy, and Mr Sleepy if there is one. So why not a thirty minute break to look at some of the Mr Men antic's. 
Next a bit of relaxation making a Pizza with the help of top chef John Mitzewich.

Hi, I'm Chef John Mitzewich for About.com, today I'm going to show you how to put together the famous deep-dish, stuffed Chicago-style pizza.

I do hope you enjoy the new page. xxx's and hugs Diddily.

Dexter the Dragon and the Ogre's Battle 

    Dexter lived in a cave; he had lived in a cave all of his life  apart  from  when he went on holiday, and that wasn't very often. In fact it was so "not often" that poor Dexter couldn't remember when his last holiday was or even where he went to for it.
Poor Dexter it was not easy being a dragon, for some reason you didn't find many books which told stories about "good dragons," yet Dexter could never remember being anything, but good.
And so this morning when Dexter woke up from what was a  very cranky sleep, he decided there and then, that he was going to leave the cave for good.

Watch out for more stories about Dexter later in the year but till then enjoy;


THE ELVIN COW


       Any one who has ever visited Wales will remember that one feature of its the Elvin Cowlandscape, as seen from the top of any of the wild Welsh moutains, is the number of beautiful little lakes, the lake often nestling in some hollow close to the peak itself: and as you look down into the water, the colours on its surface shift and change every moment, as the cloud and mist, the sunshine and shadow, sweep to and fro above it.
Each of these little lakes has a fairy legend connected with it, and no wonder! Indeed, the Gwraged Annwn, or elfin ladies, were thought to live in these lakes, and at nightfall to lead out their yellow kine to feed along the high mountain pastures.

There are also some lovely video's on this page that you can watch before or after you've read or you've listened to Dexter's Story.

Melting Ice
ELVES AND ICICLES

In the land of Gily-keha not many miles away, there lived an Elfin Woodland Princess. Her name was Misti and her home was the Silvan Palace; high in the Silver mountains where she lived with her parents King Silvan and Queen Sereni.The Princess was a happy young elf but also a very lonely one for she didn’t have any brothers or sisters to play with.Misti was so sure that she would never find love.
It wasn’t so bad when she was young for she would spend hours playing with all the creatures that lived in and around the palace, but as she had grown older she found herself wishing for a friend;  someone to share her secrets with and just have fun with I guess.What made it worse was this winter had been long and cold,  it felt like it would never end, already the snow had been falling for more weeks than normal.
Misti sighed, "When would the cold blanket lift and make way for the spring flowers,  in a few months I'll be thirteen, what then?" she reached down and stroked her pet cat Petals.

Icicles
These work's about Jack Frost,

were given me by a young gentleman,
by the name of 
George E Dolan, age 9.
Firstly here is a Haiku of 17 Syllables.

Lord of the Winter
He sits on his Silver Throne
Gone in the Morning.




Next we have a wonderful way of describing the one and only
-   Jack Frost
                   
Jealous, of Santa being the Star of Christmas.
Anticipation, of when Santa dies,
Crying, will all the children be,
Kicking, with laughter, will be me.
Fortunately I still take part in Winter,
Raising the colour of the fields, making them White,
Orange and Red are my worst colours for they make everything go.
Sorry to see the sun
Terrible, will it be when I am in charge.
 Hello welcome to
A Children's Treasury.

 A few of  the poems on this page have come from a book called

THE CHILDREN'S TREASURY

of Pictures and Stories.

It was written in 1892 and was presented as a prize for good attendance at Sunday School for the year 1893 by E. Foorster Wanstall M. A.,
who was the vicar at St Paul's Wolverhampton.

I also think you might find a few of your treasured friends between the rhymes.

Chapter One

A Special Day In The Shire



 The sun was shining brightly through the window of King Peppers’ bedroom. The king sat on the end of the bed watching as the sunbeams bounced back off the mirror of his wardrobe, dust was trapped in the light and seemed to be dancing like little dust bugs.
King Pepper comes down stairs“Hm m” said the king stroking his beard, “today is going to be a beautiful day.”
   He smiled then jumped up off the bed and went into the bathroom; showered and cleaned his teeth, and when he came out again he was looking deep in thought. he dressed himself in his favourite blue suit, then placing his crown on his head; he combed his moustache and went downstairs for his breakfast.
Queen Pepper was sitting at the table in the dining room already eating her spicy sausages and fried bread. The King said as he sat down to the table opposite her and filled his plate with poached eggs and bacon.Queen Pepper
“Nice sausages my dear,  its a lovely morning don’t you think?”
He smiled at the queen lovingly, how pretty she looked with her purple curls hanging down over her shoulders and her crown perched on the top of her head, a bit squint as usual.
“Yes Pepper,” the queen replied taking a sip of her tea, “and I do believe it’s going to stay like this all day,” she added smiling.
The king gave her a big smile, a twinkle appeared in his eyes,
"To warm to let it go to waste, do you think then dear? he replied stroking the ends of his moustache again.
The Cup“Now I wonder what we could do with this beautiful day?” he pondered. Read on to take part in the wonderful adventures of the Googlenok's of Peppercorn Green and the Shires first Olympic Games.

You mustn't  forget the wonderful Disney Sing a Long Video Show also. some of the most well known from ;
the Jungle Book, Sleeping Beauty, Hercules, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Jungle Book 2, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and Mulan.
