Welcome Vicente. As a lover of Enid's books, you're in good company here. Try looking in The Cave Of Books, you'll be occupied for hours.

Jolly well done Vicente and a warm welcome to you.

I thought your similar recent comment on Keith's site showed a truly excellent command of English language and correct vocabulary:

Welcome, Vicente! You seem to have an excellent command of English judging by your post! Happy to see you here and hope you enjoy being here regularly as many of us do! :-D

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Welcome, Vicente! Help yourself to a toffee or peppermint from the tin on the shelf and make yourself at home!

Hello everyone, I want to thank you for the nice welcome you give me: Anita Bensoussane, John Pickup, Pete9012S, Courtenay, Sixret, Eddie Muir and Rob Houghton.

After publishing my message, I dived through the forum discovering that there is a specific site for greetings, which is the one I should have used at the time to introduce myself. I'm sorry, it's been the toffee and the Anita mint candy that was on the shelf ...

No, I am not. I wondered if you might think that. The people who answer queries on Keith's site all chose names from the Find-Outers. I had already registered as Daisy on here many years earlier.
