The Minions first appeared on our layout around Thanksgiving 2014. No-one knows where they came from – Chief Operating Officer Frank Davis maintains they came from Mars. There were only six initially but they have multiplied and now number 27. They said they were only staying till the New Year. That didn’t happen – they were so popular with the kids AND the mums AND the dads, and the uncles and the aunts and all the rest they are still in residence. Here’s some pics taken soon after their arrival.
