The Enid Blyton Society

Journal 62 is in The Cave at last!

Looks great - with a nice springtime cover - and some interesting articles.

I'm looking forward to 'Anne Kirrin's Diary' by Ilsa - and the Noddy Chivers corner.

Then there's 'The Ones That Got Away' by Tony - intriguing! And lots of other interesting sounding articles, including 'Tales of Long Ago' by Anita. .

Another great read looking at the contents.

I love the Spring cover too.

A beautiful cover. Looking forward to receiving my copy.

Mine Journal has arrived already, I'm so pleased. I wasn't expecting it yet.

I think Tony only puts it up on the Journal page when he's sent them out, these days, so he doesn't get people constantly asking when its arriving, lol!

One can't blame him.

The first article I had to read was, Daisy's - Anne Kirrin's Diary. What a great piece of imaginative writing, so very well done, Daisy. I loved reading it, and can't wait to read part two. Sadly I'll have too

I think it's fabulous when Enid's stories has one thinking outside the box back to where it all began as it were.

Can't praise it enough. Such a refreshing change to read something totally different in the Journal.

I will go back and read the rest now.

Thank you Julie.. I enjoyed writing it. My Journal has not come today - fingers crossed it doesn't get lost like the last one!

Sorry you haven't received your Journal yet, Daisy. I also turned to Anne Kirrin's Journal straight after reading Tony's Editorial - and I loved it too. What beautifully-written diary entries, convincing and gripping. Like Julie, I'm impatient for Part 2!

I chuckled at Tony's comment in his Editorial about the picture showing him looking "rather grumpy" at taking part in the London Marathon!

What a stunning cover with all the daffodils!

Mine hasn't come either - its probably a Midlands thing!

Thank you Anita. So glad you liked it. I am looking forward to seeing my journal soon... as always it looks to be full of interesting items.
Yes, hopefully Rob.

I am looking forward to reading all the articles especially Ilsa's Anne Kirrin's Diary and The Ones That Got Away by Tony. She's not the regular contributor and I want to read Tony's first fiction. I assume it's a fiction by the sound of the title.

Mind you, we hardly ever have post on a Thursday. We hardly ever have post on a Tuesday either. On Wednesday I received three parcels and several letters/junk mail, all bundled up with an elastic band. I'm sure they save it until they have a certain amount. I find it very annoying!

I'm not sure, but I very much doubt that Tony's article called 'The Ones That got Away' is fiction...unless you're talking about Iisa's diary piece? I'm a bit confused!

Mine's just arrived today too! No time to read it right now, but I will look forward to digging in later. I just love the cover!

You are quite right, it isn't!

In answer to your earlier question, yes, I deliberately didn't put it on the website any earlier as I was trying to avoid yet again having more comments before the Journal arrived than after!! The Journal came back from the printers on Monday after three weeks there and I took it to the post office on Monday afternoon, but knew they wouldn't post it out until Tuesday. Knowing that some would arrive today I put it onto the website yesterday afternoon. I actually finished it apart from the editorial (written on Valentine's Day!) in early February, so I have rather forgotten what is in it myself - my memory is not what it was!!
