September 27 BOWLAND WILD BOAR PARKWE WENT TO BOWLAND WILD BOAR PARK AGAIN, IT'S A FEW YEARS SINCE I TOOK JOE THERE, SIMON DROVE, SARA MADE SANDWICHES AND I JUST TOOK IT EASY! JOE WASN'T FEELING TO WELL, HE HAS A HEADACHE AND BAD COUGH BUT HE STILL ENJOYED IT. HE STILL LIKED FEEDING THE CHICKENS BEST, THOMAS LIKED THE CLIMBING FRAME AND THE STRAW TUNNEL I THINK. HE IS VERY CONFIDENT WHEN HE IS CLIMBING.
I MISSED DONNER AND BLITZEN, THE REINDEER WE SAW LAST TIME, THEY HAD CAUGHT A VIRUS AND DIED. THE WILD BOAR AND THE PIG WERE LOVELY AND THE DONKEY WAS CUTE. September 23 THE LINK BETWEEN PALITOY, PEDIGREE AND PERFECTAI JUST GOT SOME PALITOY BOXED DOLLS MADE BY PERFECTA FOR PALITOY, WEE WHIMSIE DOLLS AND THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE GI-GI DOLLS MADE BY PERFECTA FOR PALITOY. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DIFFERENCE IN YHE MARKING BUT OTHERWISE THE DOLLS ARE VERY SIMILAR.

INC 1966 HONG KONG ON THEIR HEADS AND PERFECTA MADE IN HONG KONG REG PAT NO924772 AND NO 924773, THE OTHERS PICTURED ON THE BOX ARE DREAMY MIMI IN A GREEN FLOWERED DRESS WITH BLACK LACE TRIM AND MOB HAT, LOOKS LIKE COTTON.
SWINGA DINGA IN A PURPLE SPOTTED DRESS AND HAIR RIBBON, SHE HAS A BLUE TOP. AND THE LAST ONE IS ALTAR WALTER IN A BLACK SUIT AND BOW TIE. THE BOXES SAY WEE WHIMSIES DOLLS, PALITOY, MADE UNDER LICENCE FROM ALGAR LICENCENING CORPORATION FOR B.X.L. TOY DIVISION. OWEN STREET. COALVILLE. LEICESTER. ENGLAND.
I ALSO HAVE ONE IN A RED DRESS WITH LACE TOP BUT SHE ISN'T PICTURED ON THE BOX.

THEY ARE MARKED PERFECTA MADE IN HOG KONG ON THE HEAD AND MILLI IS MARKED PERFECTA MADE IN HONG KONG. REG PAT NO 924772 AND NO 924 773 ON HER BACK HER BOX HAS MORE NAMES ON HER BOX THAN WILLI DOES, I PRESUME HE IS EARLIER AS HIS HEAD HAS THE SAME MARK BUT HIS BACK HAS NO MARKS.
