Journal 80

[Fiona1986]

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.

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

[Lucky Star]

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.

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.

I wonder whether there are any dvds of the various Blyton musicals / stage plays?

The Famous Five musical Smuggler's Gold (1997) was released on DVD.

Thanks, Anita, I'll look out for it.

[Courtenay]

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! Thanks again Anita.

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

Mine has arrived - but I am going to save it till next Saturday to read when hopefully we will be away for a break.

Mine has not arrived yet, but hopefully it will come sometime next week

Mine hasn't arrived either, Courtenay and I know I renewed mine.

[Anita Bensoussane]

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.

Well we know what Royal Mail is like these days, Anita.

[Courtenay]

Mine hasn't arrived either, Courtenay and I know I renewed mine.

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.

Mine has just dropped through the letterbox, Courtenay.
