Hello Ken! We may learn more (possibly) about Lady Moppet's latest adventures in the New Year. In the meantime, here's an update.

Lady Moppet: is recovering from the birth of a daughter, Dangereuse. She feels that this new addition completes her family. KJ, on the other hand, thinks they are "half way through".

KJ: is posting pictures of Dangereuse on the Aston Martin owners forum.

Oscar: was recently banned from all travel on London Underground because of his habit of jumping onto the platform at a station, grabbing other children's sweets and jumping back into the train just before the doors close. He is not concerned as he prefers horse to train travel, finding it effeminate to be carried around "like a lady in a litter."

Belle Belle: is no longer with us. RIP. There was talk of holding a memorial service, but Lady Moppet found KJ's proposed eulogy to contain "objectification of women" and "inappropriate levity".

Thor: is taking an Arctic Survival Course.

Lady Mittens: is expecting her first child with Thor and is learning to knit.
