Re: Enid Blyton Day 2012
If she just wrote VIV, that would be the same in mirror writing!
Mark Davison wrote a book called Hook Remembered. Enid Blyton's little school (Southernhay) was in Hook, and a section of the book deals with Enid and the Thompson family.Julie2owlsdene wrote:Just looking at the first photo with Imogen and the little girl, but I'm afraid I don't know who Mark Davison is?

So the Scot has arrived!
She's brought the plague with her. Can't wait to see you all on Saturday if we're still alive.

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2012
Sorry to Sue and Nick and others who can't make it to the Day. I haven't been too good healthwise for the last couple of weeks, but things are looking up now and I'm aiming to come to the picnic. I usually bake something, but this year I'm taking it easy and bringing some large bags of crisps.

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2012
You just don't want name labels do you Nigel? Scared that someone might recognise you?
Aww. Sorry to hear that Katherine. Hope it doesn't make you feel too horrid! Colds are certainly nasty things!Katharine wrote:Maybe I'll bring some lemsips to the picnic - I woke up with a cold this morning.

I am not sure about Sue, I have had a PM from her today saying that she is hoping to come and asking me to keep a ticket for her, but it is a bit of an on/off/on/off/on situation!Anita Bensoussane wrote:Sorry to Sue and Nick and others who can't make it to the Day.
The weather forecast looks good for Saturday, I look forward to spending a nice quiet afternoon in the sun in my garden!

You'd better be there Tony, or else, we'll send Moonraker after you!

Still trialling other writers, but will eventually go back to reading a bit of Blyton! Just too many books...
Occasionally will pop in! xx
