We had a few days away last week – returning just before the weather turned truly nasty – which is why there were no posts. But it’s back to the regularly scheduled content this week. I’m starting to think about this year’s Christmas content too, but rest assured you won’t see any until at least November.

Letters to Enid part 43

The Secret Island part 6

Five Go Off In a Caravan has already been book of the week back in 2019. But there’s no rule that says I can’t have it again. This is what we are reading at bedtime at the moment, Brodie having climbed up the back of the sofa to get it the very next night after finishing Smuggler’s Top.

So far he is loving how funny Pongo is (shaking Timmy’s tail, in particular) and has made some pretty accurate guesses as to what’s going to happen in the story. He hasn’t yet demanded a caravan holiday, which is just as well, because I know that if we did it could never compete with the one the Five have.
