I've been waiting in all day for a DVD boxed set to arrive from Amazon and am still waiting. :D ;)

edit: Flood receded and it arrived just after 5-30. :D
Totally unrelated but is the Jolly Sailors still going in Pakefield? I've juts noticed your location and spent many a happy summer at Oulton Broad with my Grandparents. :D

I was sure you must have seen it, Tony, as I know you are used to picking up mistakes. I guess its true in a way - some of the books I bought did come with their own dust! :lol:

I've now read the whole journal but as some have not yet received their copy, I won't go into details just yet... suffice it to say I have enjoyed it very much and once again reflect on and appreciate what good value it is.

Mine's in the smallest room of our holiday cottage. Even my wife who hasn't read an Enid Blyton book for forty years is enjoying reading it!

I now have this image in my mind of you reading The Journal while seated on the throne... :shock:

I think I'll have to contact Tony, as mine still hasn't arrived and I'm 3,000 miles closer.
