A magical card arrives at the Little Kingdom, inviting everyone to a party at Granny and Granpapa Thistle's castle. The party is full of wonderful surprises and Granpapa shows everyone his funny hobbies. Three baby ladybirds, Amber, Emerald, and Keith, have come to stay at their uncle Gaston's for the day. The baby ladybirds are exhausting! So Ben and Holly help Gaston to keep them entertained. King Thistle's birthday has come around again and he's not happy. He does not want a birthday party but everything has been prepared. Poor Gaston the ladybird has never had a birthday party... They say that at the end of every rainbow is a pot of gold.

Mr. Elf takes Ben, Holly, and Nanny Plum to the Elf Windmill to find out why it takes so long to make flour.

The bath tap at the Little Castle is dripping, so the elf plumber is called. It’s a bigger job than first expected, but with snooty King and Queen Marigolds coming around, there’s not much time to get it looking tip-top.

There wasn't a first aid kit. And the house could have been cleaner. Those are the negatives. Everything else was very positive and we enjoyed our visit. Lovely house. Great location. We were wonderfully surprised that the owners had left us bread, milk, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits. Also washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and washing powder. It saved us having to buy any of those. Also we were impressed with the recycling bins.Not many places we have stayed in provide this. Daisy and Poppy borrow Fleur's magic wand, escape from the castle, and turn the whole kingdom into rabbits, frogs, and birds.
