Re: Journal 80
Mine arrived yesterday - and for once I read it almost cover to cover. It helped that there was a lot of Famous Five content and Ring O Bell's is one of my favourites. Plus we had not one but two new (to most of us I expect) Blyton pieces to read. I had seen the advert for the book about Charles and Anne in one of the magazines so it was nice to finally be able to read it.

"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

Mine hasn't come yet... I haven't missed renewing my subscription again, I hope?

Re: Journal 80
I was getting a little worried as mine is usually one of the first to arrive but literally three minutes ago, with a mighty "Whump", Journal 80 has hit my hall floor. As always it looks superb and I shall hopefully find time to devour it over the weekend.

Re: Journal 80
My copy arrived this morning and the first task, even before reading the editorial, was to renew my subscription for the next three journals with PayPal. I always do this when a Spring journal arrives. The contents look like being an excellent read but I’ll comment on this issue later.

Re: Journal 80
Oh no, wait, I told a lie earlier — it HAS come today. I obviously checked too early before! Love the gorgeous Faraway Tree cover and the contents look a treat, especially the book of Charles and Anne! Thank you so much for all your hard work as always, Tony.

I've just finished watching it on YouTube, really good - though watching George tap dance was a surprise!

Re: Journal 80
My Journal has now arrived. More when I've read through it; nice to see an article on the often overlooked Barney series.

Re: Journal 80
All the Journals were taken to the Post Office at the same time, but from that point onwards things are beyond Tony's control, I'm afraid. I hope those who are still waiting receive their Journals soon.

Re: Journal 80
I did get mine though, the same day I posted that it hadn't come yet! So far I've really enjoyed Judith Crabb's excellent article on the Find-Outers, and, of course, the gorgeous Charles and Anne reprint.Boatbuilder wrote: ↑11 Mar 2023, 18:40 Mine hasn't arrived either, Courtenay and I know I renewed mine.
