This looks like just about every children's film I've seen in the last 10 years. If I see another scene with water cascading out of the bathroom I shall scream! What puzzles me is why use the name Paddington Bear as it clearly bears (no pun intended) no resemblance to it? They could've called the fi...

Working my way through the farm series and learning quite a lot!

I didn't like Mountain of Adventure. The portrayal of Welsh people made them seem a bit simple and the plot was too far fetched.
I had to force myself to finish it. Easily my least favourite Blyton book.

This month I am mostly watching the world cup!

Very sad news.
I still rate Bottom as one of the finest ever sitcoms.

I'm now reading The Children of Willow Farm.

Anyone going? I've bought my ticket. Being born in 1978, I missed it the first time around!

That's very interesting. So maybe it's not so far fetched after all. Another thing I found odd is near the beginning one of the children makes a comment along the lines of "why would anyone want to live in a town?". Now surely if you were brought up in a town, you'd be used to it, and woul...

I quite like the cover. I suspect I may be in the minority though. As for the book, I'm about halfway through Cherry Tree Farm. It's a very charming read although there's not much of a story.

Split from another thread. I'm reading The Children of Cherry Tree Farm which I bought as part of this series: http://www.amazon.co.uk/On-Farm-The-Series-Collection-ebook/dp/B00JWMZMHI/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1401995511&sr=1-1&keywords=on+the+farm+blyton" onclick=...

Here's my list: 1. Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome - Could have been Winter Holiday or Coot Club but in the end I went for the original. 2. Five Run Away Together by Enid Blyton - My favourite of the series at the moment, but liable to change with my mood! 3. Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl - ...

I'm reading The Mystery of the Secret Room.

I don't have the sequels yet. But I daresay I'll pick them up before too long!
