I have not been on the forum for a while
Not been on here in ages, things happened in my life and I could not focus on things. Anyway, just dropping in to have a nose about. I am sure I have missed out on lots of stuff. So I had better get on reading up.

Re: I have not been on the forum for a while
I do apologise for having to say this again, that I am back. Rather than start a new thread, I will simply add to the old one. I do hope it is OK.
I have not devoted enough of my time to Enid's delicious offerings, my favourite being the Famous five.
I have been pretty ill over the last few years, and not had much motivation to indulge in any of the adventures of the Five. But I am slowly trying to motivate myself.
PS
So here is hoping I will get stuck in a little more, and not let illness get in the way.

Welcome back again! A nice thing about these Forums is that you can dip in and out at any time of day or night!

Yes, I often have long absences but as Viv says, you can always return! I haven't read a Blyton for years now, and don't plan to in the immediate future, tearing through crime books during a 3-month Kindle Unlimited free trial!

Re: I have not been on the forum for a while
Welcome back Jon - sorry to hear you haven't been well.
Great avatar!
I started reading Five Go Off To Camp yesterday. The book (shown above) was in my car and I was doing a journey that took me right across the UK and I had a bit of time to kill.
I couldn't get over how much I enjoyed re-reading Camp. It seemed so fresh and exciting - I'm going to carry on reading it!
Best Wishes
Pete
