Dale Sheep
The Dale family came third place in the 35th anniversary vote so have been re-released in new clothes. My daughter has the original family and after seeing the photos of this family online, I wasn't planing on getting them. I thought the head bands on Barbara and Iona were cute but other than that, I wasn't all that excited by them. However Martha and I had gone to a toy shop to see the latest lot of new arrivals as I'd been considering the Husky family but seeing the Dales in the "flesh" I fell in love with them instead and put them on my wish list. Martha then bought the family for me for our birthday. I absolutely love Winton's trousers and how bright they all look. The one confusing thing about the re-release is the sister's name. On the Japanese website she is Lorna, in the booklet that came with the family she is Lona and SSK have stuck with her original name Iona on their website. All other family names have stayed the same as the original. I'm sticking with Iona as we named our second daughter Iona and I was a little miffed that Epoch changed it!
Update: They brought out a pop corn cart sheep! She is very cool and Martha bought this one for me too. I've named her Aunt Chee as very close to where we live is a lovely dale called Chee dale and it is beautiful and a lovely place to walk.
