Playtime for Lily

“Hi, my name is Lily. Golly-gosh, but I do love a good playtime. Here I am playing with my cousins Éba and Ana – I’m playing sandpit, they’re playing aeroplanes. Oh well, so long as we’re all having fun, I suppose.”


“And here I am playing bubbles with their lovely Mum, Auntie Oonagh. Bubbles are nice! Poor Auntie Oonagh – she isn’t surprised or amazed in this picture, she always looks like that. We’re hoping the wind will change some day.”


“Anyway, my favourite playtime is on the swings. Push, Sillyput, push! Wheeeeeee! Boopy-doop.”

Lilyput’s Playpen

“Hi, my name is Lily. I’ve been telling you all along how much of a Sillyput Ol’ Sillyput is, but I bet you didn’t believe me. Well, here he is in my playpen. I mean, hello?”


“I wouldn’t mind so much, but he always calls it ‘the pigpen’. Erm, Sillyput? There’s only one oinker in this pen right now, and it’s wearing a blue sweater. Zing!”


“Oh God bless us all, now he wants to play fingerpuppen. Lovely Mum? Put down that camera and COME SAVE ME NOW! Boopy-doop.”

My Latest Holidays

“Hi, my name is Lily. Gosh, it’s nice to be on holidays – and I’m always on my holidays! Here I am at the beach in Donegal …”


“… and here I am at Avondale, with my Lovely Cousins Lara, Katie, Éba and Ana. Swing!”


“And here’s my lovely Auntie Oonagh giving me a cuddle. Gosh, I like cuddles. All together now: ‘I’m forever blowing bubbles …’ Boopy-doop!”

Dressing Up Games

“Hi, my name is Lily. Last weekend I went to Sligo and played dress-up with Auntie Finn. Ol’ Sillyput says I look like Agatha Christie. Really? I didn’t know Agatha Christie wore ‘Baby Diva’ bibs. Boopy-doop!”
