I am currently reading The Sea of Adventure . It was the very first Blyton book that I read, followed by two more Adventure books, but I didn't read my fourth one until I was in my 40s! :oops: As the children are relaxing comfortably on a springy bed of heather, I keep wondering whether Enid ever t...

Although I eat the occasional crumpet, they're not favourites of mine. In an episode of Call the Midwife one of the nuns said she didn't eat crumpets because they were "too multicellular and too spongiform." A wonderful description which sums up my own feelings about them exactly! My frie...

Thank you!

Thanks Tony, I'm still getting to grips with the Secret Passage. Are they available there or for new members?

Apologies for jumping into a thread but is the first of the esteemed Terry's 'Bill's Diary' Series the 1946 one, relating to Valley or did he write any relevant to the first two books? I've read and re-read all of them and they inspired me so much unfortunately it means I've ended up writing about a...
