We are experiencing a bit of a heatwave in Scotland this week – that’ll teach me to complain about cold weather! Where I am it has also coincided with a major bus strike, so Sunday service on every route and no buses after about 6pm. I can only imagine how hot it will be on the crowded buses that are running! I support the workers who are striking – my annoyance is with the company who has let things get this far.
Letters to Enid 30
and
Enid Blyton’s Holiday Stories then and now, part 9
Something different this week – I thought I’d highlight one of the older posts on the blog that newer readers may have missed.
I chose a random page from the archive of posts and spotted this –
I had great fun writing these tongue-in cheek excerpts from Aunt Fanny’s 1956 diary – all about her troubles in keeping the Five well-fed.

For me air condition is one of the best inventions of the 20th century.
I struggled through 30+ too hot summers in Germany since I was 15 years old and couldn’t tolerate the heat anymore.
Since 2006 I have a. c. and summers have lost their threat.

Sorry for sounding so ignorant, Fionna. But do The Trials of Aunt Fanny form part of any Famous Five book or are they a totally independent work -of Enid Blyton? I want to read them in their original forms.

What’s in the linked blog post is all there is. I just wrote little entries, imagining the kinds of things Fanny would be driven to write with the Five having come to stay.
