The First Family I have Bought is:
DALE SHEEP FAMILY
Ewan Dale is in charge of the Sylvanian orchards, keeping the grass short and the place tidy. He is very proud of his Victoria plums and crisp, crunchy Cox’s pippins but has no time at all for most of the modern varieties. Barbara Dale is the real family expert on fruit trees of every kind. Her busiest times are late autumn and early spring, when she is in the orchard, pruning and re-shaping all the fruit trees and checking for any problems, very late into the evening. Winton Dale loves helping his mother and father in the orchard. His favourite job is looking after the bonfire but before he can do this, he has to rake up all the fallen leaves and twigs which he finds a bit boring and doesn’t particularly enjoy. However, he is always very thorough, as he knows that the more he collects, the bigger the bonfire will be! Iona Dale has been given the very important job of collecting and sorting all the different types of fruit. She much prefers this part-time job than going to school, because she can chew to her heart’s content, without any teacher telling her that it is not allowed! |
BARKER LABRADOR FAMILY
Jerry Barker is the tour guide of Sylvania. He takes visitors to all the points of interest around Sylvania and regales them with information about buildings and their origins, historical events and old customs.
Margo Barker runs the well organised Tourist Information Office. The walls of Margo’s office are full of posters and maps and she has leaflets full of details about everything that is happening in Sylvania.
Tarquin Barker does everything at asedate pace, he never runs or rushes around. If he could, he would spend all day, every day reading a book in front of the warm open fire in the family
front room.

Jocasta Barker, unlike her brother is full of energy, rushing hither and thither like a mad thing. Give her a ball and she will play for hours in the garden even if there is no one else to play ball with!
