we work together we can do anythng, and here I am working will all my
friends on the computer to make , or try to make nice pages for the
"Children of the World" to read and listen to. Seligor and
Diddily and all who provide some of the valuable bits and pieces to
make this web site such a success, I have just changed the Video

some Brothers Grimme and some of The Barbie Clips from their films. So enjoy once again Diddily Dee Dot xxx
It
was the beginning of autumn and the leaves were just starting to change colour. It had
been a really difficult summer for Irma Pogglewatch and her sister,
Edna Drewstitch. Now straight away you might find their names very
complicated but you see, badgers have a first and second and sometimes
even a third name before their surname, usually the names belonged to
relatives of the badges from long ago. In this case Irma Pogglewatch was named
after her great, great aunt Irma and her great, great uncle
Pogglewatch. Whereas Edna was given her grandmothers first name and
the Drewstitch came from her grand mother Drewstitch, who had been a
seamstress to Lady Cerys of the Wynnstay's Sett The two young
badgers we're living in England when their story began, Just after a huge storm had hit their home and they were made orphans. The older brocks managed to get the two youngsters out of the Sett but unfortunately my sister and her husband were killed. It was very sadand it was decided that they should come over to Fingles Wood to live with our Great Aunt Izzy
.
This story continues in the first book of the Badgers of Fingles Wood
LOCAL NEWS LOCAL NEWS LOCAL NEWS three little pictures that pleased Diddily The little fishes are a little rude, heehe
It took the girls a few days to ask around the Fingles Wood if anyone
would be interested in them opening a Nursery School. It was met with
an overwhelming answer "Yes". It seemed everyone not only wanted a
nursery school but also wanted to help Eddy and Irma to get it started.
Plans were made and it was decided that the large cavern near the
bottom of the rocks; which meant it would be much easier for the
smaller and none climbing creatures to get to the class rooms. It was
soon obvious though that it wasn't all going to come together
overnight, there was a lot of work needed doing; lighting and heating
would be neccesary for the winter, these were the big jobs along with
an extention on the water pipes from up above. But work was soon
underway and it wasn't long before all the big jobs were finished.
This story continues on The Badgers of Fingles Wood Book 2
The
Beginning of what could be a few pages of Old Favourites,
Does anyone know just how many nursery rhymes have been written. Diddily reckons
thousands. So what I have done on this page is select a lot of Action Rhymes, mixed in with a few short and precious
ones. Since time began I think Mothers
and Fathers, Brothers
and
Sisters can remember the rhymes they heard when they were young, and on
looking through the web pages I came across this lovely site
by;
"Nursery
Rhymes"
This is a site of nursery rhymes and silly stuff,
all kid
safe, such as Brahm's Lullaby,
Wiegenlied, Buckle My Shoe, Kermit, Kookaburra. There may
also be links to other sites, all suitable for
children. So
I sent off an email to the site and found myself another Diddily,
though of course she's not your Diddily, she is a Granny and
she has
agreed to let me use some of the rhymes she already has
designed. I
have incorporated a few of my own as well but I know you will love them
all.
A wonderful story for the older kids, a bit too complicated for the wee ones. If you Love Gollies, Teddies and Brownies and Hate Goblins this is the story for you.
Half way through the story of Mallie Ann and the Goblins you will find a wonderful set of video songs, they are all from Disney films, it is rather a long story and Mum and Dad will need a break in the middle. "Sing a Long" Songs from "Beauty and the Beast"
Where you go a walking
on an autumn morn Dewy-silver cobwebs all the little trees
adorn,
and spiders in the middle are
goblin elves, they say, Waiting for the foolish flies who
wander from their way.
So the people tell me, but
I'd sooner think These are shining nets the fairies fashion
link by link Out of threads of silver from the moon's stray
beams, And hang them on the little trees for catching
dreams.
What is this? Magic Moments! Well I
reckon we need to add a little sorcery to liven things up. So my
lovelies have a wonderful time listening to the music, watching the
films and don't forget your pop corn and OJ, pop corn won't be banned
in Seligor's Castle. :)
The five Googlenok friends who spent
most of their time having adventures

THIS IS WILMA'S PAGE. IN HERE YOU WILL FIND TWO SMALL TALES ABOUT WANDA AND WINNIE WITCH, AND ONE LONG STORY ABOUT WILMA.
There is also a few facts about witches and how they played a great part in the History of Britain and the World. These are both before and after our Wilma. I have also placed a wonderful playlist of music and film for your enjoyment.
I wish, I wish , I wish that I could fly up to the clouds on high. I wish, I wish , I wish that I could hover like a damsel fly. I wish that I could sing a song, write a story, grow up strong,
strong enough to be a horse, carry a person, a princess of course, And so I make my wish or two, or maybe three or four. and when I'm done, I'll go back home, and need to wish no more.
Here is a box, a musical box, wound up and ready to play But this box can hide a secret inside. Can you guess what is in it today?
Sweet Relief Who will Love the Child The Little Girl Plays The Homecoming Another Chance
The Apple Tree
Wonder and Enchantment
Here are a couple of different Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Cartoons. No
don't ask, lets just say they are more modern than the original tale
that the Mr Grimm's found all those years ago. But nevertheless very
watchable.
MARY ELIZABETH This
is a little story about a young beggar girl, her name was Mary
Elizabeth and she lived at the same time as Queen Victoria. It was not
easy for children in Victorian Times and many children died of
starvation or terrible illnesses. Many children worked in the coal and
steel mines, especially in my country Wales and up in the North of
England. Charles Dickens wrote an awful lot about the poor families,
and a lot of his stories were based on real people that he knew about. Enjoy Mary Elizabeth, she was a very brave little girl.
THE STORM IN THE POOL
"Ah! it's a weary world," sighed Mrs Newt, shaking her head, and
waggling her tail mournfully in a small puddle - all that was left of
the home pond after the long summer drought. This is another little story from a very old book of Fairy Tales, I do love finding these ancient poems and rhymes for you, it is so exciting to read something for the very first time. I hope you like it to. xx
Enjoy the
songs Seligor and Mary Elizabeth have chosen for you and say thanks to
the people who put the video's together, I wish I could do them for
myself... maybe one day eh! Take care, Diddily Dee Dot. xxx
A St David’s Day Out
“But Dad," Rhodri said. "there is still snow outside the cave, nobody goes on holiday in the winter unless it's skiing and I can't really see how we can go skiing when; one we have no ski's and two none of us can ski?" Rhodri looked as surprised as his mother did, at his father’s suggestion that they all go on holiday. "And why not may I ask?" Gwilym seemed quite serious about the whole thing. "This cave isn’t the warmest place during the winter, and your mother hasn’t been through the door all that time, she could do with a break after being cooped up for the last three months, isn't that so Marion?" Gwilym said turning to his wife. The video's I have placed on this page have come from all over, We
have a Kuwait butterfly composition, a Tamil baby Kadhai story, The Woody WoodPecker show in Arabic I think. Another Tamil Nursery song.
Oodi Vilaadu Paapaa, Tom and Jerry twice and a couple of opening scenes
from the Gummi Bears, one in Japanese the other in French.
I
have hopefully chosen some lovely, happy cartoons for the children of
the world. It is very difficult not to know what is right and what
could offend but all I can do is hope that I have chosen wisely .
Diddily dee Dot
At the moment we have two new story's
The Children Of The Sky

BRER RABBIT AND THE TAR BABY
Then before you go on to read about Betushka We have a wonderful video of ... Go and have a look much more fun xx
The Wood Maiden
An Old Fairy Tale
Betushka
was a little girl. Her mother was a poor widow with nothing but a
tumbledown cottage and two little nannie goats. But, poor as they were,
Betushka was always cheerful and happy. From spring till Autumn she
pastured the goats in the birch wood. Every morning when she left her
hoe her mother have her a little basket, with a slice of bread and a
spindle "See that you bring home a full spindle Betushka," her
mother always said as she was leaving. Betushka didn't have a distaff
to wind the flax around, so she would wrap it round her head. The she
took the little basket and went romping and singing behind the goats to
the birch wood. When they arrived there, she sat down under a tree and
pulled the fibres of the flax from her head with her left hand, then
with her right hand let down the spindle so that it went humming along
the ground. All the time she was singing the little goats nibbled away
at the lush green leaves and grass.
