Re: Journal 56
The post is slow again here so I haven't received the journal yet. Seems like it is coming by pony trap.

Re: Journal 56
My journal came yesterday, very nice to get it at last, made my day. The post is slow but sure. I knew I could rely on the pony trap .
I had a quick glance through it and will get stuck in tonight. It is time for me to renew my membership as well I see, so I will be doing that soon.

How do we know when it is time to renew our membership? Is there a note in the journal?

There will be a renewal form slipped inside when it's time to renew

Re: Journal 56
There should have been a reminder note in Journal 55 to tell you to renew for 56, 57 and 58. I'm afraid this is why you haven't yet had a copy of Journal 56!Jack400 wrote:How do we know when it is time to renew our membership? Is there a note in the journal?

Re: Journal 56
A nice assortment of articles in the journal which I enjoyed reading over the last week or so.
Nice to see the colourful set of jigsaws in the centre pages.
I don’t think I’ve read “Spiggy Holes” myself, but one of our teachers read it to us and I seem to remember liking it as a child.
“Good Work Secret Seven” is also one of my favourites in the series and it has some memorable scenes. Quite a classic example of these books.
Some good points made by Poppy in the George, Lotta, Darrell piece that discussed their similarities and differences. Just thinking about differences, I think Darrell would be the only one who would make it as a head girl.
Interesting article on collecting by John and I’m glad there’s another one to come. I also didn’t realise a lot of adults still liked to read these books when I started collecting.
The Beaney lecture sounded very interesting - it’s great to get an insight into these sort of talks, the like of which most of us based overseas will never be able to attend.
I also enjoyed the descriptions of the second hand shops and autumnal landscape in Freda Knight’s “autumn trip” article.

Re: Journal 56
I did indeed ' sort it out' and I received it last Tuesday. I was on my way to an opticians appointment when it arrived. So I knew -when I recognised the envelope. at a brief glance, that I had no worries about my eyesight...
