Re: Enid Blyton Day 2012
Yeah but at the same time it feels like yesterday.

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

I must say it is lovely to see all the younger ones who still love Enid Blyton posting here.
I have just read a lovely article about the day from Peakirk Books.
I wonder if I would be permitted to share it with you?

Great article Miss Pepper, thanks for posting it.

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2012
A nice article by Peakirk Books. I thought it nice that the sellers seem to enjoy being at the day itself as well as being there to sell books. Unfortunately I didn't spot anything on their stall on the day itself, but as they are only in the next county hopefully I'll get a chance to browse their shelves another day.

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2012
I think you are not the only one who might have missed someone, so don't worry about it. It is more difficult than one might think to meet everyone or have a bit of a chat. I got off to a good start I reckon, but there are some people I missed or could have seen more of.7upromana01 wrote:I just remembered I didn't meet shadow or Sue. What an idiot I am!
It was nice to meet your gran, who had been to South Africa on holiday. I met Shadow, she thought I would beat her in the monthly quiz this year, but we'll have to see! She's still the reigning champion.
I was fortunate to have one last chat with Anita before the picnic broke up.
The main thing is we all enjoyed it and certainly met plenty of people and chatted a bit.
Nice report, Miss Pepper.

Seeing someone is not meeting them. I have seen the Queen on several occasions, but I have never met her.Julie2owlsdene wrote:Shadow was at the picnic, Abi, you must have seen her?7upromana01 wrote:I just remembered I didn't meet shadow or Sue. What an idiot I am!

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2012
Yes I did. I spent the last few days in North Wales, a beautiful part of the world, and enjoyed some good home-cooking, cups of tea, and even some hot X buns and told my cousin, who likes gardens, about Old Thatch!Anita Bensoussane wrote:Yes, it was nice to chat about Wales - and your Journal index.
