Hi Anita, Many thanks for that information, it's all seems a bit daunting at the moment, and I am just overwhelmed with the things I have to get organised in the next week, so it's great to get the finer details on travel times so at least I feel organised in one area of my life; and of course I wil...

I travel to the Enid Blyton Day by train - you need to go to Twyford Station and then it's about a fifteen minute walk to Loddon Hall. (If you're travelling from London, you catch the train from Paddington to Twyford.) Thanks Anita, now I know what I'm doing. Just one last thing, can you give me an...

oh dear, will have to give the costume a miss on account of luggage allowance; don't speak the required languages; and as for my singing I think I wouldn't be let in if I did actually sing - I did know the theme tune for the 1970's series as I had taped it and listened to it repeatedly at the age of...

Hi - Just wondering, for those of us not living in the area what is the closest train station. I can see the map on the back of the programme that there are train lines but which station should we be aiming for, and also is it walking distance to Loddon Hall or would it be better to get a taxi? I wa...

I remember in one of the books I read as a child (and the name escapes me at the moment), although it was set in Africa and there was a little African boy that the children befriended, anyway one of the boys was wading through an underground cavern in the mountain and needed to dive down and hold hi...

Hi, it's great to see what everyone else likes doing. I love reading children's books. I like taking photos and have just invested in a Nikon digital SLR which I love, don't really know all the technical stuff with lens and the like but I do like to work on composition. My hobby is scrapbooking, and...

Finally a question that I can at least partly answer!!! I obviously don't retain the details of the books generally. Dick got a puncture in the book Five get into Trouble, when they were in the woods before they went to Owl's Dene. However can't remember if he got another puncture anywhere else. Wha...

I think the comradary of the characters in the books, along with the magic of places visited and discovered. Children as modest heros, mystreys solved, and night time adventures, when in fact I had a set bedtime. The thought of disappearing off with no adults for days on end, sunny skies, and fantas...
