Last time we caught up with Paddy and Plunkett, those globetrotting little monsters appeared to be living it up in the sunshine somewhere. But now…
Have they hit the slopes for a spot of skiing?
Ha! Nope. What you’re seeing is actually a beautiful rocky beach in Croatia, where the limestone “shelves” have been scrubbed by sea-tossed pebbles until they’re a bright, snowy white. It’s lucky the boys remembered to pack their sunglasses, or they’d have been truly dazzled!
Plunkett couldn’t resist poking through those pebbly patches in search of a new addition for his rock collection back home…
And hey, where’s Paddy? Oh, right. Of course.
CLIMBING! Looks like he’s scoped out the perfect spot for them both to stop and catch some rays in the late afternoon sunshine.
But soon, Paddy started to suspect that they didn’t have the beach to themselves…
“Plunkett, what’s that over there in the trees? I feel like we’re being watched!”
Strange for Paddy to be nervous, isn’t it? But Plunkett could already see that there was nothing to worry about…
…He can spot an interesting rock sculpture from a mile away! These guys might have slightly stony expressions (ha!), but even that couldn’t put him off having a closer look.
Just as well, too, because there were lots of them to see! The boys found a family next – the Flintstones, maybe? I hope they didn’t mind that Paddy briefly tried to ride their pet dog around like a pony!
And there was one who looked a little the worse for drink…
Oh, here’s a teacher with a bunch of schoolchildren!
Plunkett especially liked these enchanted toadstools he found, too.
Some of the pebble people proved a little trickier to identify, though. The boys were happy enough to agree that Plunkett is standing in front of Napoleon here, while the dapper gent on Paddy’s left is Willy Wonka from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”… What do you reckon?
However, debate continues to rage about who or what might be represented here…
Any ideas? Let us know in the comments – the more outlandish, the better!
We’ll be back next Tuesday, when I’ll have a new Beastie to introduce to you all! See you then…
