Blast from the past - with focus on K

My girls have long been aware of some of the children's television programmes from my childhood. We have dvds (that came free with newspapers that friends or relations have passed on to us) of Mr Benn, The Flumps, Henry's Cat and more. I also am the proud owner of a Bagpuss hot water bottle cover. It was only this week, however that K & M have encountered the programme itself. M watched a couple of episodes on youtube while K was at Brownies on Monday and yesterday they both watched some more, including this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwXL61aMTpU&feature=related

This morning K locked herself in the bathroom for over half an hour and then moved to the playroom, asking for privacy for another hour or more. Eventually she emerged with her 'Marvellous Mechanical Mouse Mill!'
