Uncle Edward Mulberry is not really a new face in the village. He has often in the past visited his brother, Elmar, and his family and is quite familiar with the village and its people.
Till recently Edward lived in Oxbridgeshire with his daughter Martha Mulberry. Martha’s mother and Edward’s wife died when Martha was a little girl. Martha however decided to go to a very distinguished boarding school from which she accepted a scholarship. As his parents, George and Mildred, also resides in Oxbridgeshire he could leave Martha with a peaceful mind as he knew she is in safe hands with his parents near.
He now is a permanent resident of Sugarbush Valley and the village is just what he needs, peaceful and quiet. Edward mends and restores vintage and rare toys. He spends hours at his workbench to ensure that the broken toys are as good as new. Lots of useful tools, paints and books about toys can be found in his small work room. Since Edward moved to the village many of the parcels that Postman Pete Petite receives daily is from adult collectors all over the globe, who believes that Edward will be able to save their beloved toys.
He lives in a small treehouse next to his brother's log cabin, on the outskirts of the village.
Like many others Bobby Roberts came to Sugarbush Valley by chance. He mentioned to his old friend, Edward Mulberry, that he was tired of The Big City and all its criminals. He desired a peaceful life, where his biggest concern would be naughty children and rescuing stray pets. The saying goes that you must be careful what you wish for, as that is now exactly the life Bobby is living, but he is loving every moment.
Though PC Bobby Roberts looks quite intimidating and fear-provoking, he is actually a jolly nice policeman. He always has a friendly word for everyone he meets and helps those in distress without hesitation, except if they've been naughty, of course!
They have now also been added to my Villagers page.
Love Edwards bio - do you think you'll ever get Martha? Love the idea of Oxbrigeshire :D
ReplyDeleteThx Aranera. Not sure about Martha yet. I think Oxbridgeshire is quite original ;-)
Delete:D it doesn't show it on the picture but she's like an older sister or grandparent size. That kinda put me off buying her :(
DeleteI actually like the variety on her, and Im sure I read somewhere that she is an older sister, but I doubt if I will ever get her.

ReplyDeleteNice new additions. Did you get Uncle Edward and his repair tools? I remember I saw his pictures with some toys too but I don't know if they are part of a playset. I love the policeman. So British looking with that hat!
ReplyDeleteNo I only got Uncle Ed. I desperately want those tools, so Im searching ebay. This is the set http://www.store-petit.de/Sylvanian-Families-The-Toymakers-Set. Im not a fan of the badger, but yes Old Bobby is rather adorable!
DeleteGood luck with the Ebay hunt!
DeleteI actually got hold of the set, now to see if I can afford the postage!
DeleteLove how you fit them into SV perfectly and their bio fits them so well.
ReplyDeleteThx S!
DeleteI love how you have such a great background story for each of your characters. Edward Mulberry is so cute, with his apron. PC Bobby Roberts is also to die for. His little hat and sharp uniform paint the picture of a London Bobby on his morning beat.

Thx Mia, for the kind comment. Hopefully they will appear in a story soon, that we can get an idea of their personalities.
DeleteWonderful new figures you got! :-) I like them very much, especially Edward Mulberry. But it's so sad that he lost his wife. Oxbridgeshire is a great idea :D.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bobby is very cute, I had to laugh about the parts with the naughty children :D
I had a little proud moment when I thougt out that village name, lol. Maybe just maybe you might get a Bobby soon, too!
