I'll bring a spade and some toilet paper.

And don't forget the insect repellant if you're sitting beside a lake!

Please. We are Blytonites. We don't need such things.

The Famous Five never required spades and toilet paper now did they?

Okay, okay - I'll see!

Wish I could join you all for the picnic, but Georgie and I are going to have to shoot off after the Day.

How time is flying! Not long to go!

For those who intend forraging in the supermarket rather than cook something - I'll bring a cool-box with ice blocks for anything that needs to be kept cool during the day.

Time really is flying! Just one more day at school, and I'm gone!

Thats great Viv, that gives me a bit more choice when I'm rummaging through Tesco.

Incidentally the 5 day weather forecast on the BBC website indicates rainshowers for the Twyford area on Saturday.

Thats probably something we should watch over the next few days. We dont want to get soaked.

When do you arrive in the UK Ming?

The weather forecasts are supposed to be a lot more accurate now, due to better satellite technology. For example about 6-8 weeks ago it was correctly predicted that several days later snow would fall in London mid-morning.

However in the last week I kept an eye on the forecast for Sunday just gone, and the forecast changed several times, including on the day itself. So you never know, it might not rain.

So are you trying to tell us that weather forecasting isn't rocket science?

Looking like I won't make the picnic Guys, I'll do my best...

If anyone is wanting me to bring any 78 related items for them to see let me know and I'll see what I can arrange

Elsewhere in the forums people have been talking about buying reading copy books off Ebay.

I dug out over the weekend some paperbacks and Dean Edition Enid Blyton books many of which are readable copies. I will bring a box of them to the day. 10p each and no P & P costs!!!

I am actually having a little Famous Five exhibition anyway, mostly just black and white stills (I think I have even pinched some of yours off the Forums!) but also copies of things taken from the press pack which I am sure you own anyway! Sadly I didn't think I could manage to copy the mobile! I am also covering the other TV series as well as the two earlier films. If you want to put anything with the exhibition just bring it along.

Best wishes
Tony

The forums are about to become Mingless for a bit, we are going to miss your posts.

Don't forget to bring your consent form with you - for those that don't know, Ming is about to become a radio star as the BBC are sending down a reporter to interview her on Saturday. I will keep everyone posted as to when the programme will be broadcast.
