Truffle family – (Tomy – got in 1994)

Eustace Barrington is the Sylvanian dentist. He may look rather frightening with his big, strong healthy tusks and even bigger name, but everyone knows that under that gruff exterior lies a heart of gold. In fact, he knows some very funny jokes, which is why all Sylvanian children like going to the dentist!
Victoria like her darling husband is also a dentist, and possibly the strongest lady in Sylvania! This is lucky, because Eustace does not like pulling teeth, so Victoria is in charge of removing wisdom teeth. She is also better than Eustace at making the patients feel comfortable and keeping the appointment book.
Charlie has been given the nickname "chocolate" for a very good reason, He adores it. Charlies face always seems to be covered in it!

Dale family – (Flair – got on ebay and ssk shop – 2014)
Grandfather Wesley planted up the original orchard that his son Ewan now attends. Wesley walks through the orchard whenever he has the chance, not to check that Ewan is doing a good job of looking after the fruit trees, but rather to reminisce about the good old days when he was a young man.
Grandmother Dove regularly looks after her grandchildren when their parents are busy in the orchard. She would look after them all the time if she could. The grandchildren love her because she plays games with them; she is not very good at 'hide' but excellent at 'seek'. Best of all they love her cooking!
Ewan is in charge of the Sylvanian orchards, keeping the grass short and the place tidy. He is very proud of his Victoria plums and crisp, crunchy cox's pippins but has no time at all for most of the modern varieties.
Barbara is a real family expert on fruit trees of every kind. Her busiest times are late autumn and early spring, when she is in the orchard, pruning and re-shaping all the fruit trees and checking for any problems, very late into the evening.
Winton loves helping his mother and father in the orchard. His favourite job is looking after the bonfire but before he can do this, he has to rake up all the fallen leaves and twigs, which he finds a bit boring and doesn't particularly enjoy. However he is always very thorough, as he knows the more he collects, the bigger the bonfire will be!
Iona has been given the important job of collecting and sorting all the different types of fruits. She much prefers this part time job than going to school, because she can chew to her hearts content, without any teacher telling her that it is not allowed!
Emma really enjoys attempting to help the rest of the family in the orchard, even though she is very small. She is quite happy following everyone around the different trees, dragging an old fruit basket behind her. After being strung one afternoon by a wasp, she soon learnt not to pick up the fallen fruit on the ground!
Shona loves sleeping the days away… none of her family can ever wake her up!!
