Tim's Daily Diaries 23/12/2025

Tim here again folks, with all the Monday news! Only TWO more sleeps until the big day! The rain is holding off , mostly, but the temperatures are slowly dropping, we Shetlands are not bothered as our coats are meant for worse! Today we have the winter newsletter hitting inboxes, many requests and comments on the postal ponies diary and some gorgeous photos.

   Hopefully everyone who sponsors a Munchkin or is on the mailing list has received their copy? Some wonderful festive ideas from Arthur, Crumble and Womble, from sweet treats to cracker jokes and eco friendly decor! Do enjoy the news, there are a few who have gained their wings that have missed a mention, possibly due to publication delays, RIP Sherbet, Felicity and Lucky gone but never forgotten.

    The requests for copies of the Postal Ponies North Pole Diary are still being received along with generous donations, thank you folks, we hope you enjoy their cheeky antics, and a huge thank you for your support.

   I wanted to apologise for not doing the promised feature on tree decorations, but things have been so hectic for my poor typist over the last month with family illness, she wanted to make sure the postal pony event had her full attention. I will maybe do the horse/ unicorn decoration for spring! We will see!

     Do check out the page for some lovely pictures, three friends happily sharing a wheelbarrow of mash, beautiful blind Luna our very own unicorn, George putting himself to bed and displaying amazing Shetland fluffy leg warmers and pictures of the pony Treflys Dandando and our welfare officer Sandy spreading the festive Shetland vibe in their local village, looking very smart!

     We have a final auction for 2025, a beautiful large picture of two grey horses in Mummy Munchkins own words ‘made of a type of felt or material on board’ it is stunning and reminds my typist of the velvet paintings she loved when she was younger! The auction is on until Christmas Eve at midnight. Details on the post, do check it out!

   I think that is the news all caught up for now, so I will away for a snack and return tomorrow with more, TTFN,

Tim, Munchkins Head Reporter
