Thanks Nigel and Mohamed for the sweet comments.

I feel quite honored... :)
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.

When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen.

Thanks Darrell!

Well, if Agatha Christie can be called "Queen of Crime", then can't our Enid be called "Queen of Adventure"??? :D

Just thought I'd like to say 'Happy Birthday Enid!'

111 today! :D

Couldnt we have an annual 'flag' type thing on the website that pops up each year telling everyone when Enid's birthday is? Just an idea!

I'm off to party!!! :lol:
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'
