We’ve all seen the books on the shelves that proclaim gaily that “If you like Enid Blyton, you’ll love this!” and if you’re anything like me and Fiona, we approach these books with caution. In experience the books that proclaim … Continue reading
A Blyton-y, Blog-y Bourne End Walk! by Corinna
I was lucky enough to have a recent trip to the UK from New Zealand, and the very first catch-up arranged was with Stef! Having equally well-organised friends is definitely very useful. Since she lives vaguely out that way, and … Continue reading
