Farthing family
FATHER HARLEY FARTHING loves spending a hot summer’s day on the beach with his family. He usually has his rucksack packed the previous evening in anticipation of the next day being sunny. He has all the essentials packed for a full day at the beach, a radio, comfortable blanket, towels, games and a packed lunch. (2 Jan)
MOTHER PENNY FARTHING (born MAROON) likes to set out early each morning on her bicycle to get freshly baked bread from the Watermill Bakery. She usually takes her youngest child, Rally, who sits patiently in the basket on the bicycle for the journey. She is often at the bakery just as Christopher Apple-Blossom is opening his doors. He always has her fresh loaf ready for her, still warm from the oven. (20 Jul)
BROTHER VESPA FARTHING is exactly like his father. Every summer he looks forward to their day trips to the beach. While his father Harley sits in his deckchair reading the paper, or snoozing in the sun, Vespa is off having fun, playing games like volleyball with his good friend Sunny Blackberry. (5 Dec)
SISTER WREN FARTHING enjoys the family trips to the beach, as it gives her a chance to collect sea shells. She started collecting them at such a young age that now she has almost a hundred. She has recently started making them into things, such as jewellery for her mother. Her proudest item so far, is a vase she has covered from top to bottom with shells. She has it in her bedroom window, filled with flowers each day. (26 Sep)
BABY BROTHER RALLY FARTHING enjoys going out with his mother on her bicycle each morning to the bakery. He especially likes it as some times Christopher Apple-Blossom gives him a warm bit of crust to chew on for the journey home. (13 Feb)
