pigs in spaaaacee!


Following a quick visit to Tesco last night to get my tea, I found this neat little rocket among the xmas goodies on sale! Its a Peppa Pig jelly bean dispenser, but after picking off the stickers and feeding the sweets to the dog, it makes a delightfully retro spaceship! Reminds me of Lyons Maid Zoom! and all for three quid!

Glad to see that space is still of interest to kids. Cool rocket. PIG FORCE 1!

"...and feeding the sweets to the dog"....they might have been alien eggs Wotan! I'd keep my eye on your dog for the next few days!

Bet he enjoyed them though...saausages!
