I thought that it would make a perfect home for the Moomins Lyn. I love the colours.

Thank you Charley - the Moomins would certainly stand out against those colours!

OK, I have to ask, who are the Moomins? This is a good description from 'WIKI': "The Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Swedish-speaking Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson ...... They are a family of white, round fairy tale characters with large snouts that make them resemble hippopotamuses." The books were translated into a children's television cartoon programme back in the day, and according to 'The Guardian' newspaper 2019 there's a re-make. This link shows a video trailer. 2019 re-make of Moomins with the voices of Kate Winslet and Rosamund Pike

I may have meant 'The Clangers' Lyn!! I misremember 'The Moomins" Ha-ha! Yes indeed! It would have been perfect for the Clangers as shown in this youtube clip: The Clangers

Okay, so there seems to be a whole range of creatures I have never heard of!

They are very cute. My favourite kids' show from the early 2000s is Jakers the adventures of Piggly winks. The show is funny and there is a flock of sheep in it that are hilarious. Mell Brooks is the Ram.

I’m all over the “alien” thing. I see eyeballs on tentacles peering out of the “craters”. . I’d join you with a port.
