    When I was young I only knew one other person that read chalet school books but I've found quite a few more readers now that I'm in my fifties. If I found one that I haven't read I'd still buy it. I have to admit to a fondness for old style books - Angela Brazil, The Abbey Girls and I do recall the Bobbsey twins too. Malory Towers and St Clares anyone? 

    Well done to Little Miss. I've been trying to talk myself into doing a parkrun for the last 3 years! Sorry you're not feeling too good.


    Cranky, not only do I admit to reading Enid Blyton- but my daughter and I read them out loud, acting them out and camping them up between fits of hysteria! Hope you don't mind me bounding into your diary jwil; I always read, enjoy and admire you.  Love Humdinger x 
    Not at all Humdinger, it's lovely to have people post, and thank you for your lovely comments.  Enid Blyton fans are always welcome, and seriously,  I am coming round to play :D 

    School stories, that is.  Love Malory Towers and St Clare's.  Though I have to ask, what school would stay open once the goings-on came out? Girls shimmying up sheets tied to drain pipes to rescue others from burning buildings where the fire brigade is waiting for tall ladders to arrive; clinging onto cliffs while the sea rages below; nearly drowning several times; and wasn't there also a kidnap plot? Ah well, good clean open air fun to take our minds off everything else!
    Haha, I agree :D  And the Naughtiest Girl in the School where the kids make the rules and the head teachers pretty much do nothing!
    Jwil, I look forward to you coming over! I'll just get the kettle on...once the cake's out of the oven xx
