I’ll start with the most important news – it’s Stef’s birthday today! I’m sure you’ll all join me in wishing her a very happy birthday. I did try and get Julian parcelled up to send to her, but he wasn’t very co-operative and so I’ve had to resort to plan B, which I’m still working on. But good things come to those who wait and all that.

This week on the blog we’ll have fan fiction on Wednesday, and it’s Cathy’s turn again so it will be another chapter of her Barney Mysteries story.

I’m possibly going to read my two new Noddy books and write about those, if I don’t come up with any other bright ideas (which is quite likely.)

Stef might possibly do something about St Clare’s, though she’s whispered she’s not loving the first book so we will have to see. If not, I expect we’ll get more of her St Andrews fan fiction which is starting to get rather exciting.

And I’ll finish off with some pictures I’ve taken over the past few weeks.
