I want to ask you all a bit of a silly question, for research purposes, as I'm not sure what to call - this - http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mY8UbXYF-gnZxGNw2pSqolQ.jpg is it a 'cap' a 'lid' or a 'top'? Or maybe you call it something else? I particularly would like to know if anyone remembe...

Not completely Moonraker, just buzzing around!

Thank you all! Sorry i haven't been on recently... Lots of things in the way. Haha.

I had a lovely day, I spent the day in Oxford with a friend and then out for food with my parents and boyfriend this evening.

Hope all is well with everyone!

I don't see a problem with the 20th August for me but I wouldn't make it until at least 2pm as I'm working til 12:30 unless I can get cover.

Maybe we should all start buying lottery tickets and if we win enough we can buy it ourselves?

I read that as "Squid"

I have some originals that I could do with shifting Darrell, Secret Seven, couple of Fives and a Barney Mystery, do you want me to send you a list of what I've got?

Just let me know when and where and I'll do my best to be there.

If I'm still allowed?

Thanks All, Francis that Sunny weather was perfect timing-- such a thoughtful present.

As for where I am, I'm just rushing around so busily and I haven't really had much to contribute to the forums recently! Shall do my best to be better! Fiona is always telling me off!

The rest of Bourne End isn't much to look at, we have driven through it on the way to Beakonscot however!

It was Paul, Moonraker, and I'm not anymore.

So I'm going to try and form a letter to send off to the NT and EH by the end of the week, if you'd like to add your signature to the letter, please email a picture or a scan of your signature to the World of Blyton Blog address - worldofblytonblog@hotmail.com - and Fiona and I will add it to the le...

For a brief moment I dreamed of winning the Premium Bonds, but that's only £1 million, so I'd still only be about half way there. :cry: Well it would just one more of us to win a million on the premium bonds, Katharine, then we could afford to purchase Old Thatch. But then we'd need someone else to...

I don't see why some of us can't meet up in Beaconsfield and then we can organize something that suits more at a different time of year for next year in more advance? Beaconskot is nice, Fiona and I have been before and enjoyed it. You can order food therem or we can take a picnic, but the only prob...

My mum sent me the link this morning, so I thought I'd share it with Fiona, but I thought she may have seen it before. If it helps, I think we should try and approach the NT or the EH, or maybe any literary trust perhaps? (though don't ask me which ones!) I don't mind writing the letter for us all t...
