Rock ‘n’ Roll Lily


“Hi, I’m Lily. Well it’s one for the money / Two for the show / Three to get ready …”


“ ... Now go-cat-go! / And don’t you / Step on my blue suede booties …”


“Erm, Sillyput? Lovely Mum and me have been chatting, and I can’t really be Rock ‘n’ Roll Lily without a pair of blue suede booties. And as long as we’re going shopping anyway, Lovely Mum wouldn’t mind a new pair of shoes. Make it so, Sillyput. Boopy-doop!”

My Lovely Lazy Weekend At Auntie Fi’s


“Hi, my name is Lily. Ol’ Sillyput went away to Bristol last weekend – hurrah! – so Lovely Mum and me spent a nice, lazy Saturday at Auntie Fi’s. Y’know, just hanging out, exploring, trying on new hair-bands, doing a bit of reading …”


“ … just a day of generalised booping around, checking out beaded purse-handbags, that kind of thing – Whoa! Who’s that over there?”


“Golly-gosh, it’s my new cousin Hugh, who lives in Bristol! He’s lovely. Hi, Hugh. I’ll be coming over to see you soon …”


“Anyhoos, that was my lazy Saturday. The best thing about it was Auntie Fi’s beanbag. Gosh, every princess should have a beanbag, and a couple of books to hand … Sillyput? It’s probably my birthday next week again. I’d like a beanbag, please. Oh, and would you mind going away to Bristol again so I can boop around with Lovely Mum and Auntie Fi? Thanks. Boopy-doop!”

My Reading Life


“Hi, my name is Lily. Golly-gosh, but I do love a good book. This one is called ‘That’s Not My Penguin!’ It’s about a penguin that isn’t mine, apparently …”


“Wow! Stop the lights! Here on the last page it says the penguin is mine. Golly-gosh, I never saw that twist coming … Erm, Sillyput? I’m trying to read here. Can you put away that magic picture-box, please?”


“Let me see, maybe if I disguise myself by changing my dress he’ll leave me alone … What’s that, Sillyput? You want to play hidey-peep? Gosh ... Okay, Hidey …”


“ … Peep!”


“Now, can I please have some peace and quiet to enjoy my book? It’s all about Noddy and Big Ears and PC Plod … I think PC Plod is investigating a crime where a little girl’s reading time gets stolen by a big Sillyput. Sound familiar? Boopy-doop!”

My Busy Day

“Hi, my name is Lily. Golly-gosh, but it’s a busy life being a little girl. Here’s a video of all the stuff I have to do … push my push-along around the house, stand up on my own, give hugs to my Pinky Dolly that Granny Kay gave me, give hugs to Lovely Mum, pick my nose … Gosh, when’s a princess supposed to get any time to play, eh? Boopy-doop!”
