It's the last day of the carnival on Sunday so you still have 2 more days to try and guess our odd object. The grand Procession is tomorrow and judging will be at 4.45pm at Follaton House. If the children's fancy dress procession is anything to go by it should be a fun day. The children were all looking very cute on Thursday with one little boy dressed as an indian sat on a sheepskin rug. Come to Toyday Totnes tomorrow to get a free balloon with every purchase in celebration of the carnival!

Here Antoine and Giovanni, French and Italian. We worked together in the Toyday shop for 2 weeks. Two weeks of fun, it’s was a very pleasurable. We thank Adam and Emily who accepted us in their shop and were very patient with us. And also Jenny for her help and patients. In the shop we did many things: took a picture of the toys, worked at the computer, translated the website, stamped letters, sold toys and many other things. We are very happy to have worked in this shop. This is our last day and we know the shop and its people will miss us. Our experience in Totnes was very good because we met a lot of nice people and we have improved our mind and English. Thank you very much and good luck! Antoine & Giovanni The new european union.

Well our beautiful summer has turned into a wet one! Don't worry though I hear the sun will be coming back before the summer is over but in the mean time I thought I would share some rainy day ideas for the School Holidays that don't involve a DS or wii or whatever your little ones poisen is. Board games - there is no better way to pass the time cooped up in a tiny caravan with the rain beating down then playing a good old traitional family game. We stock a large range of games with some available in travel versions. The newest addition is travel shut the box. A pack of cards is an essential travel companion because even if your off abroad you still never know what the weather will do. Get Creative - My rainy days as a child were often spent with a colouring in book and some felt tips. For some great craft idea's take a look at our website Read - The book is always better than the movie and with so many to choose from there really is no excuse not to get into one.
