HI Anita,

Im so glad to be back.. and really hope I can make it.

Hi Everyone... Its been a while since Ive been here, but I can smell the excitement from 5139.68 miles away (I kid you not but thats the distance between Chennai in Southern India and Twyford). Well Fatty, Lucky Star, Im back.. and Ive promised Nigel I will try and make it this year. I will not cele...

Ive been off vacationing from the site for such a long time, only to be thrust headlong into exciting times...and of course that means the lost book. I guess Tony... you are going to be one busy individual over the next few weeks. Just what you need... you thought it was all done and dusted.... Have...

Ah..I see its already old hat ... typical of me.

However, whatever its worth... there's not much doubt there will be someone who will pick it up.
We live in a society of fear.... will there be another one up for sale? At what price? And in this lifetime?

Haven't been on the forum for quite a while... but thought Id share with you on this post that there is a Secret Island with half a jacket on sale on ebay. Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Secret-Island-Enid-Blyton-1st-Edition-Rare-DW-/200504912671?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Antiquarian_Books_UK&h...

Hi there all...why oh why is life this unfair? All the fun in the world must have been in Twyford for a few hours.. it was dark and dungeon-like back home in India, and the world was empty. Light had vanished, and the wind rustling through the trees seemed to whisper Enid's name.. or was it Tonys? B...

Ming, pack your bags... we off to Twyford next year.

Have a wonderful time everyone. :evil: :( :x I am not sure what expressions or emotions to bring to the table...envy will cover half of it, and I suppose I must be happy for all of you. Sorrow is in there somewhere. Tony, Viv, Anita, Lucky Star, Nigel, and all you lucky souls... have a great day. Ke...

Hi Nigel,


Yes, that does mean fate has been conspiring against me...but I will savour 2011 Day all the more for miss the Day this year.

Hi again.. Yes Anita, my ears have been in a constant burn... and now, as you say., I know why. Truly hurts to miss these days again and again. As Lucky Star said, its seems ages since we trooped adventurously across streams (or was it a puddle), moors and heather (or was it someones backyard)... an...

hi Nigel, Good to hear from you. Yes, I wish I could come. Only way right now is to prepone the Day to the previous week... then I will definitely be able to make it. Just means rescheduling the entire event, reprinting tickets, and asking many hundreds of good folks to rearrange their lives. Orf I ...

Hi everyone of you lucky lucky kids... After being away for so long, Ive come back only to be greeted with prophecies of Doomsdays and Armegeddons and Great Depressions striking at the very Dungeons of the Society. Yes I read your wonderfully sunny note Nigel, and Ive broken my absence with the need...

I guess "envy" is not encouraged in these bright and innocent forums, but after reading all these reports on the Day, I must confess thats exactly what I do feel. Sorry Tony, I'm one of your 20% who missed yesterday- believe me, I really tried to come. Anita, Nigel, Viv..sounds like you al...

Viv, ANita, Nigel... who gets to push the food trolley this year over the picnic paths.?
If I do come, and have that job again, could I rest my old bones awhile..?

And who gets to lose their way with Viv in the car this year..? Sorry Viv... couldn't resist that.

And then there are those on Ebay who sell facsimile dust jackets complete with authentic flaws and cuts and scrapes and bruises and blood stains and God knows what else, so that the books look good on the shelf.The books of course are in great condition - real first editions complete with authentica...
