My posts are like buses these days, none for hours, then two come along at the same time. Anyway, I dug out an old video the other day and Gracie loves it.

Who remembers the Wombles? Back in the 70′s those furry creatures from Wimbledon Common who were into recycling long before it became trendy. There was Great Uncle Bulgaria, Tobermory, Madame Cholet, Orinoco, Wellington, Tomsk, and Bungo. Apparently they picked their own names when they were young by sticking a pin into an atlas while their eyes were closed. Not a lot of people know that. :D

Here’s an episode I found on ‘YouTube‘ for those who have never seen a womble and for those who just want to reminisce.
