Great news Jomo - you've just reminded me to turn mine over from February.
I was enjoying the picture so much I forgot!

Re: Famous Five Calendars 2022
If the Enid Blyton Society needs to raise more funds, perhaps we could do a print on demand calendar of our own next year - one possible theme could be locations juxtaposed with illustrations from the books, or something different on a fantasy and fairies theme.

Superb idea Jomo.
I shouldn't really spoil the surprise, but it has been mooted that 2023 may be the year we have

Re: Famous Five Calendars 2022
Is the picture for May a long line of cars following Moonraker, going the wrong way?
If I could live here on this secret island always and always and always, and never grow up at all, I would be quite happy

Re: Famous Five Calendars 2022
Oh dear, that reminds me of the old(ish) joke...
A wife calls her husband on his car phone as he's driving home on the motorway: "Darling, I just heard on the radio that there's a car driving the wrong way on the motorway. Please take care, won't you?"
"A car, dear? There are DOZENS of them!!"

Re: Famous Five Calendars 2022
The current calendar picture (from Five Are Together Again) is my favourite of the three we've had so far - really bright and joyful.

I have the calendar in the kitchen. It's great to see Eileen Soper's colourful illustrations in such large detail!
