The brief resurgence of warm weather is well and truly over, and I am writing this from under a cosy blanket. If I was in an Enid Blyton book I would of course say under a cosy rug. Rug meaning blanket is a very old word, but to me it always conjures up images of the children lying under an antique Persian rug. Not at all comfortable, I expect.

Reading The Mountain of Adventure to Brodie
Having read both The Treasure Hunters and The Ship of Adventure recently the similarities between the two books (regarding a villain who steals part of a map in order to find the treasure first) were particularly noticeable.
I mentioned them in my review of The Treasure Hunters back in 2017.
