The first episode, which is up on YouTube, was for a Regency dining room. It's worth watching just to see the ham one of the contestants made! Sunday's episode will be creating an Art Nouveau bathroom. I sought this out because you mentioned it. I'd seen the trailers and then forgot about it. I've seen episode one - Regency Dining Room - and it was, indeed, amazing. And, yes, the ham was stupendous. Looking forward to Art Nouveau bathroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I mentioned earlier in this thread I can’t bring myself to read black beauty for the same reason! 8 hours ago, Kudz said: One of my cousins got a French Bulldog a few years back and named him Wilbur. I was horrified - to me the name will always and forever be a pig’s name. I definitely think of it as a pigs name too but I suppose French bulldogs do have a bit of a pig-like face!? 8 hours ago, lunababymoonchild said: I sought this out because you mentioned it. Did you find the YouTube video? I did search it but clicked the first thing and it definitely wasn’t the right one (it was impressive but it wasn’t a regency dining room with a ham!). There seems to be a few programmes about miniatures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willoyd Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Late as ever! Childhood favourites (at different stages): The Faraway Tree series by Enid Blyton The Secret Seven series by Enid Blyton Enid Blyton's Nature Lover's Book Puck of Pook's Hill, Rewards and Fairies, The Jungle Books by Rudyard Kipling Winnie-the-Pooh (prose and poetry!) by AA Milne The Paddington Bear series by Michael Bond Flood Warning by Paul Berna Swallows and Amazons series by Arthur Ransome Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang series by Ian Fleming apart from the first two, I still have copies of these books, and quite a few have been reread and enjoyed throughout adulthood (I'm now reading Paddington Bear in German - and he's just as funny!).

SCol Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Finn Family Momintrolls were a favourite but I also loved a lot of children's classics - Heidi, A Little Princess, The Railway Children (Actually anything by E. Nesbit) - Oh, and the Narnia stories. LOVED them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I loved the Moomins too, and Paddington, also another bear, Mary Plain, who had similar adventures to Paddington but seems largely forgotten now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMohawk Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I always remember the first full book I ever read and enjoyed was Toilet Terror.
