The Magic High Street

The high street is bustling with Christmas cheer, but for Jenny and Jim, the magic is just beginning. After a stop at a cozy teashop, the ordinary world transforms into something extraordinary. Talking fire hydrants, helpful lampposts, and even chatty horses become their new reality.

But is it all real, or just a figment of their imagination? The family embarks on a series of weekend adventures, seeking to uncover the truth behind the talking objects and the mysterious purple haze that surrounds them.

Join Jenny and Jim as they navigate the enchanting high street, where the line between reality and fantasy blurs, and every corner holds a new surprise.
