The Enid Blyton Society

Thanks, Gary, I'll watch the episode tonight, and see if I can spot those coloured lead windows.

I emailed them to see if they accept dogs, but sadly they don't! So I can't stay there for a night to have a nosy round!

Yep, Same here. Everyone keeps telling me it's age related.....

That's a real shame, Julie. Its a pity there's no one who could take your dog in for the night. Unless you sneak your dog into Rhinefield, just like George did with Timmy at Smugglers Top!!

Now that's a thought, Number 6

At least Rosie is smaller than Timmy and potentially easier to hide...

True, Courtenay, but she is quite heavy.

I've a cunning plan, Julie! Cut some holes in the bottom of your suitcase, place your dog inside with its legs through the holes & zip the case up, then casually walk into the hotel. The receptionist will automatically assume your luggage is on wheels! Collect your keys & calmly walk away, trying not to let anyone see the smug look of satisfaction on your face!

Not a very innovative idea, Nr 6 - in one of the Voilier books George used this idea to get Tim into public transportation (Les Cinq se mettent en Quatre = Five and the Pink Pearls).

Wow! I never knew this, Wolfgang! Pure coincidence on my part.

I could try this, but who is going to buy me a suitcase with the holes already cut out!

No problems, Julie. We'll have a Society whip round for you!

Hi Julie

Thought I'd let you know if your looking for "five adventure" Burley Manor hotel "smugglers top" accept dogs a small fee to pay.... Unfortunately they don't allow children there much to my 8 year old nieces disappointment as she wants to stay at "smugglers top!"

Thanks for the info, Helenbee. I'll be in the New Forest in a couple of weeks, and so will check that out.

Do you ever stay at home?
