Wonderful pictures, everyone. I really hope now that I'll be able to come in the near future; after all, it comes only once a year!

Oscar very kindly gave out yellow and black badges depicting the Spanish Famous Five, if that's what you mean, Sue.Sue Webster wrote: I noticed a lot of people were wearing a yellow/red badge and just wondered what it was.

Strange, it was not until you pointed this out Sue and I re-studied the photos that I noticed this. It seems that half the Loddon Hall was wearing an Oscar badge! Alas, he must have ran out of supplies when we were introduced!Sue Webster wrote:! i noticed a lot of people were wearing a yellow/red badge and just wondered what it was . thanks sue .

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2009 Photos
Great photos - wish I could make it to a Day. Looks like you all had a smashing time. Maybe I should hint to my family at a holiday in England in the month of May next year?
