I bought issue no.91 a little while ago.

Hope this went to a really good home - perhaps even one of 'us' here may have bought it...

I know this is slightly off topic, but I think I saw Norman Wright last Summer whilst I was crossing a meadow at Durlston Country park, near Swanage, Dorset! I was doing a survey of Wildlife habitats when this chap appeared with his dog. He looked remarkably like Norman, but I didn't say anything just in case it wasn't him! Does anyone know if he lives in or around the Swanage area?

Norman has been living in Swanage for several years now, he was already there when we held the last Enid Blyton Day in 2012. I don't think this is a carefully guarded secret as until fairly recently he was still a dealer issuing regular catalogues from his Swanage address, although he has now retired.

Thanks Tony. If I were 100% sure it was Norman, then I wouldn've spoken to him. I'm in Dorset this Summer, so maybe I'll bump into him again!
