Wondering why the Amazons were still wearing their knitted hats in the extreme heat of Pigeon Post.

Look what I found. I must have bought it for Pa for Christmas.

Reading about 'Camp Might Have Been' in Pigeon Post reminded me of some of our camp sites: Camp 1 in 10 (on a hillside), Camp Don't (too many rules), Camp Quickly (a storm coming).

I am trying not to buy any more books...

Newly repaired with sellotape. 1969 edition. A warm read on a very cold day.

We know a lot about Mr. Dixon and Grandpa Swainson but little about Mr. Jackson at Holly Howe. Just that he was big and powerful. I wonder why not?

Just finished a leisurely read of WH and wished I hadn't reached the end. So, what to read next? Maybe I will just go back to the beginning...

It seems that one member of the Arctic expedition thought that flying a plague flag at the North Pole would keep polar bears away as 'they won't be keen on getting mumps'.

I have read Winter Holiday many times but only just noticed the wonderful phrase 'Her mind was in the oven'. (Mrs. Dixon baking her famous pork pies.)
