What a wonderful week I have had! Thank you to all who are posting right now- do visit everyone: the list is just to your left! For my own little contribution towards this fun and merriment I'm going to hand over to my final two guest writers!
Mattman: Wind in the Willows is one of our favourite games. I always like Ratty, and I like Mole. Jo: I like Badger a wee bit, but I like Toad the best in the game.
Mattman: It is the wintertime and Badger is sleeping in his nice, cosy home in the Wild Woods.
Mattman: It is the wintertime and Badger is sleeping in his nice, cosy home in the Wild Woods.Jo: I moved him because he didn't look like he was in the trees, and I took a picture of him with my DSi!
Mattman: Toad always gets into trouble; sometimes he gets into jail. Toad is one of the silliest people in Wind in the Willows.

Mattman: Toad is very happy back in Toad Hall and he is swinging on his happily ever after swing!

Mattman: Ratty is my favourite character because he is nearly as wise as Badger, and he is so awesome. Ratty is very brave, as well as Badger and Mole.

Mattman: This is Toad, Ratty, Badger, no Mole, all together and Toad is in the background hugging Badger and Rat. With no Mole.

Mum: They've left me speechless, all these guest writers- they really have!

What a lovely ending! Very good guest writers today!
Well done Mattman and Jo! What happened to mole? I expect he is in his cosy home.
Saved the best 'til last, huh?
Thanks for a week of great WITW posts and for hosting us all.
I've really enjoyed re-acquainting myself with the gang.
... and we all lived happily ever after!
Thankyou for bringing this together, it was fun and caused me to re-visit a book I had long forgotton - driving along yesterday I realised I was driving past the River Mole! Wind in the Willows is all around me, I just have to remember to look. Bettyx
LOVE! Especially Toad in jail. This has been a happy endeavor, hasn't it? THANK YOU!
oh this is wonderful! sorry to be so late.. i will return with more words soon.

Oh, they have got to be your BEST contributors for the whole week! I really enjoyed that - please thank both of today's contributors.
This post reminds me of the book I'm reading now, Pilgrim's Inn by Eliz Goudge. The children play at "Wind in the Willows" all the time. I liked today's contributors very much.

Thank you so much for your lovely hosting & visitation & kind comments!! I have loved joining in with everyone. I have so liked how this little blog adventure has drawn in whole families/children in such delightful ways..will surely make these wonderful old stories even more memorable to them (kids) than just plain old reading : )

These are so fun, so cute to read. I wish I could muster up the creativity...but I haven't. I have failed. Maybe it will still come. In the mean time, I will enjoy all the other wonders
Our mutual Dear Friend Maggie suggested I peek into your world when this week I posted a "Wind in the Willows" post. You can see it here...

I am your NEWEST FOLLOWER, and I'm hoping you will FOLLOW ME TOO!!!
Have a wonderful weekend,

Oh, I enjoyed these pictures! And what a fun conversation.
So can I admit now that I've never read WITW all the way through and I didn't like it as a child or when I started reading it to Jack? I have felt terribly guilty about this all week. So many of my dear ones contributing and making a WITW party out of it, and me not able to celebrate.
Perhaps it's time for me to give WITW another chance? I wonder if maybe I just wasn't ready for it yet. Maybe now I am.
