Dartmouth, Devon, from a long-gone shop just down from St. Saviour's Church. I'd had records before (Music For Pleasure kids' 45s) but they'd have been bought for me. I think I got this with a record token. I wanted 'The Wombling Song' but they said they didn't have that, and this was 'the new one'

As I missed a couple of days, here's #Halloween #Scotstober word of the day number 2: Guiser (n.) - a person in fancy dress, costume, or disguise; usually for a special occasion, festival, or performance. Here I am circa 1977, dressed as the Womble, Orinoco.

Why have I woken up at 6am singing The Wombles song and needing to know whether the Wombles were shrews or hedgehogs?! Why?! 😂 #wombles #womblesofwimbledon

The Wombles make a sneak appearance in this week's Radio Times magazine, in an article about the Museum of Brands in London. Can you spot them?

If you wondered what happened to The Wombles: Well, they've been in a bag at the back of our cupboard for the last 20-odd years. Sadly, they now look like they're about to appear in a reboot directed by George A. Romero.

Robert Redford (R.I.P.) was a Wombles fan. Here's a still from his movie Brubaker.

My Orinoco backpack arrived a few days ago, and I love how accurate he looks! It was such a good deal off ebay too.
Only $70 or so dollars with free shipping + two 70s badges!!! Wombles merch is a nightmare to ship to Australia because shipping's usually around $20 AUD, so this was a steal!

The Wombles first aired on 5 February 1973. The series was based on the books written by Elizabeth Beresford, about a secretive group of creatures who live beneath Wimbledon Common, collecting and recycling the litter left behind by the "everyday folk".

He finally arrived!!! I've been thinking about how silly this Wombles car was for months, and now I own one haha
I expected the car to be the size of a Hot Wheels car, so I was pretty surprised at how big it actually ended up being.

Don't quite get why the updated Madame Cholet of the Wombles looks the way she does... Like, on one hand I think they're trying to make her look younger and more modern or something, but on the other hand they also somehow managed to make her even more of a French stereotype
