A Christmouse Carol.

It's quite chilly tonight. They say we may have a frost, the first of the winter. That would be quite seasonal but I'm not sure if the Medlar House Mice will be very pleased about it. It can be jolly cold in the roots of the Medlar tree.

As soon as we get to the beginning of November the mice start getting excited, about the shows they will go to over the Festive season and in the run up to it; about Christmouse itself and of course, all the Christmouse Carols they can sing.

They have their favourites.
God rest ye merry gentle mice, It came upon a midnight feast, The Cobnut-try carol, Good King Wenclesmouse...to name a few. ;)

We have a choir at Medlar House.

There's Spearmint who sings a very high soprano. Her husband Caramel is a bass. Petunia is a very nice alto and Lavender sings mezzo soprano. That leaves Mr Darcy mouse to sing tenor. Now and again Periwinkle joins them, though she is very shy about singing in public and tends to hang around at the back.
 
Dear naughty little Wensleydale dresses up as Father Christmouse  ( he isn't shy at all ) and gives out presents from his never ending bottomless sack.

Here they all are..practicing for their concert.

They are wearing their Dickensian costumes, it helps with the atmosphere, they tell me.

Here is playful little Wensleydale playing Father Christmouse.

All these figures are for sale and can be found on Heartfelt on Facebook. If you don't have access to Facebook then please email sue @pastmastery.com.
