It's so nice to be back, though probably indefinitely! Gosh, is it nearly 5 years since the last EB day? Such a shame to hear that there has been no more, but what a privilege to go to the last one. Wow My full fringe is gone (got rid of it that year, thank goodness) and I'm a lot taller and older, but I'm still give or take the same person!

I'll try not to hope I'll win something, though. If I do, and it's a lot, then Moonus can expect a visit from me. In person....

Is that a threat or a promise?

What a curious story!

Isn't it. Mind you, we have a regular local craft/antique fair and there is a 50p admission charge to enter. We are planning a holiday in the Hawes area for later in the year. I will report back!

[Bannerman65]

A promise, Moonus, for you and I to hook up in person, and do some face to face catching up, as friends. And talk about your own favourite books....

In this case, Moonus, the 50p admission, to the craft/antique fair is justified, as it helps the organizers pay the costs of the fair. And I'm well aware, Moonus, that you already knew this. Statement of fact.

And I hope that you and your wife, enjoy your holiday in Hawes, Moonus. When you both go there, I mean.

I've bought a book from that guy about 10 years ago. It was Five Run Away Together, an early white-spined edition. It was reasonably priced too. I was never asked to pay an admission charge. All I can remember about the chap was that he didn't say very much.

[Moonraker]

He's just been featured on BBC Look North. Seems rather a nice chap.

No need to change here - apart from getting older. We love you just as you are.

I was going through some photos on my computer last week and I looked at the ones from the E.B. Day.
Nice memories.

[Julie2owlsdene]

I too love looking at photos from the E.B Days, Lenoir, and think of the happy memories, the day, the books, it was always the high light of my year, I just loved it. Seems so long ago now, but the memories are always forefront in my mind.

The memories are worth remembering.

The new term of school has started. I have been very busy for this past one week. Read the postings but too busy to reply.

Got to start earning a living again tomorrow after a lovely break over Christmas. Back to reality. Ah well it was nice while it lasted .

[Fiona1986]

Some of us have been back since last week

[Moonraker]

Some of us worked on Christmas Day (before I retired).

Ahh there's always someone worse off to make you feel better about your own life

[Moonraker]

Split from 'The Magic Faraway Tree with dust jacket in good condition'.

I love anything to do with the moon and find it really beautiful, so to me, someone called Moon-Face should have something magical and literally moon-like about him (because I think Moon-Face is a magical-sounding name!)

How do you feel about Moonraker?

Haha! Someone will probably tell us they haven't had a day off in years!
