So said the UK pony comic slogan in the advert I used to stare at as a kid for Paradise Estate.
I never had it as a kid, but my friend did, and we played with it lots.
It was the one thing I never got, though, when she gave me her ponies. Obviously, it was too bulky and inconvenient to bring along!
For years the only PE I have had was a broken and faded one I found at a carboot sale years ago. But, thanks to SaveThePonies, I finally have a beautiful and almost complete estate that lives up to the memories of when I was a small child.
This afternoon was spent with the fun of putting it together, taking photos, and then, sadly, taking it apart again so it can be safely put away and not get broken or damaged.
Here are some pictures of some of my ponies "living in Paradise".

but that never happened.

The Baby Sea Ponies all wanted to come and play in it, but these two won because Sunshower was my first Baby Sea Pony as a child, and Sea Shimmer came from my old friend's collection and so used to live in PE's pool. She seemed happy to be back!
