The Wombles

Magic. Pure magic.
Underground, overground, wombling free; The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we; Making good use of the things that we find; Things that the everyday folks leave behind Magic. Pure magic. So many childhood summers spent camped out on the common dying to spot Uncle Bulgaria or Tobermory up to some environmentally friendly mischief.

I had Wombles everything
As a wee kid I had Wombles everything. Curtains, pillowcases, bedside lamp, mug, pencil case. Elizabeth Beresford's litter-picking, Wimbledon Common inhabiting, grey furry creatures struck a chord in us all - and Mike Batt's catchy songs brought them even more to life. Thanks to the wonders of online shopping I'm now able to share this Womble magic with my young niece and nephews. Of course, I couldn't resist grabbing a copy of the CD for myself (The Orinoco Kid is a personal favourite).
