Thank you, Daisy! :oops: :D

I'm currently writing another Famous Five...just need to find the time to get on with it! :D
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Thank you, Daisy, for reading our book Return to Kirrin. I'm glad you found it well-written and interesting. I guess we all have our own ideas about how those children might have grown up!
