Re: Ginger Pop on BBC
Yes, I watched it too, a nice little segment. I have to say though that I get increasingly annoyed to be told as fact (this time by Sally in her introduction) that Enid wrote Corfe Castle in as Kirrin Castle in the Famous Five books, when we have it writing from Enid herself that the whole thing, Castle, island etc, was based on an island off the coast of Jersey!!

I was just reading a snippet in the Blackmore Vale magazine - about the Birthday Party. "Come to Corfe Castle - the real Kirrin Castle..." it said.
Maybe I could pretend I live in the real Kirrin Cottage.....?
