That particular photo just had to be included with the write-up - it was of course one of Paulo's, not mine.

I never noticed that, Anita. As for now, still hoping that I'll be able to attend EB day some time in the near future.
I forgot to mention something in my last post.......... that cake you baked sounds really

Nice to hear from you again Oscar! Is the reason for your visit to London anything to do with a showing of a Famous Five film? Thanks for all your photos - they are a nice reminder of a happy day.

Hello Daisy! Oh, you are so nice! My girlfriend and me loves you!
We sadly can´t go to the Five have a mystery to solve premiere... My company tries to release on DVD the film, I have been mailing with Norman about this.
We´ll try!

Great photos indeed Oscar. And a very interesting website too. Its a pity I cant read Spanish. Those film clips certainly look interesting. I didn't know that films had been made in Spain.

I was interested to read your write-up of the Enid Blyton Day, Oscar. Very enjoyable. I'm sorry you can't make it to the Five Have a Mystery to Solve film in London tomorrow.

Thank you very much for the comments my friends!
Yes, it´s a pity we can´t go to the premiere... :(

Lucky Star, the film clips are not from spanish films. They´re from Swedish fims, the same I sent to you yesterday in the afternoon!!

De 5 og spionerne -> Five adventuring again.
De 5 i fedtefadet -> Five get into trouble.

We don´t know a word of swedish but we know very well these books and is very easy to see the films!
Enjoy it!
