Sarah, I shall include you in my list of honorary blog-daughters.<br /><br /> I loved the Blackberry Farm books by Jane Pilgrim when I was little, Simon. When I was a bit older, I loved the Just So Stories and used to get to the end of the book and start right away again from the beginning. I'm sure I've written at least once about favourite childhood books, so I won't get started again!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-639238927456306982011-03-08T16:29:17.305+00:002011-03-08T16:29:17.305+00:00Never heard of the Apple Pigs!

J. very kindly gave me a Kindle for my birthday - I hardly dare take the protective plastic sheet off the screen in case it bites. And presently she'll help me set it all up, and thereafter I shall swank about with it wittering on about how easy it all was. That's the trouble with having one's IT parameters set by the Sinclair ZX81.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227767014123557100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-50634055427200975592011-03-08T09:06:34.599+00:002011-03-08T09:06:34.599+00:00Oh, thank you so much for this.
