Father Billy Brightfield and his family moved to Sylvania when Billy got a job there as the new village postman. As Sylvania has grown so much over the last few years with more families moving into the village, Pete and Sam, the existing postmen, just cannot keep up with all the mail! Billy is very conscientious and makes sure everyone’s mail is always delivered on time.

Mother Nancy Brightfield loves to sew and make tablecloths and curtains for her family home. She is currently making up a large order of gingham cushions for the reading corner at Forest Nursery for the pupils to sit on at story time.

Sister Mandy Brightfield likes reading and writing letters to her friends. Seeing them at school every day just isn't enough for Mandy, and she is constranly jotting down her thoughts and sharing them with her friends. She keeps her father Billy very busy delivering all her letters, but she always makes sure she puts a stamp on!

Baby sister Jenny Brightfield is never happier than when outdoors and loves to go to Primrose Park to play after nursery every day.
