Re: The sea of adventure
When two friends are together they can do anything. You will both be fine Anna. After a week you'll hardly miss your old school at all. Good Luck.

Re: The sea of adventure
Life is a huge book, made up of many chapters, Anna. You are about to start a new one. There will be many more, some good, some not so good. You are living your autobiography, that is all. However your life story evolves, you can always re-read the earlier chapters in your mind.
All the best for tomorrow.

Moonrakers spot on there Anna. Just think of the new and exciting friends you are about to meet. You're very lucky it's all in front of you. Good luck for tomorrow.

Re: The sea of adventure
Loved the opening shots of the river - and the streets with so few cars and buses! Last time I was at Waterloo Station was the day of the Society Summit.Moonraker wrote:If you want to see Waterloo in all its glory, watch the BTF film, Terminus. It is the story of a day in the life of Waterloo Station, and is really good. It is possible to view the opening scenes here.
Have a great day tomorrow, Anna!

Re: The sea of adventure
ah so like mnay others, enid inspired you to read more! I already read lots when I was younger, but Enid got me reading even more! In the sea of adventure, I'm on the part where they've just reached the island of birds and I just can't wait too see what happens next!

Re: The sea of adventure
Ah now the story really starts hotting up Anna. It becomes action packed very quickly after they reach the island.
Good to hear you are liking your new school.

Re: The sea of adventure
Hello again! I just have an enquiry about Puffin Island. I heard Enid Blyton based it on a real island (not necessarily called puffin island) does anyone know the name of this real island, and if so, where is it situated?

Re: The sea of adventure
Not sure about a specific location for Puffin island Anna but the book as a whole is generally asssumed to be set in and around the myriad small islands off the North coast of Scotland. An area I would love to visit sometime.

Re: The sea of adventure
Thanks lucky star. So maybe its possible there could be some kind of similar group of islands on a map or something? Yes, it would certainly be nice to visit some islands around the north coast of scotland, and it would be great to meet Huffin and Puffin!!!
Re: The sea of adventure
hallo! Today i'm on the final chapter of the sea of adventure, and its beautiful! I honestly thought it was the enemy who were in the plane, but i was so relieved to find that it was Bill's freinds to come and rescue them!

Re: The sea of adventure
Anna. I am so glad you are enjoying the book. It makes a change to hear of youngsters like you in this changing world sitting down and reading a book that would in most children's mind be outdated and boring.
you sound a very outstanding young lady , one that Enid Blyton would be proud of.
hope you are enjoying your new school, as a school caretaker I know the first few weeks are hard !
the valley of adventure was my favourite, have you read that?

Re: The sea of adventure
Hi Anna
I was wondering how you were getting on. I presumed you were having such a busy time that you'd forgotten all about us!
Caretaker - could you tell us more about where you are. We've all experienced school from the other side of the desk, and a few are teachers, but a Filch's eye view would be very enlightening!
