  5. and questionable school lunches. Markus felt that the absence of fibre in the children's diets was the root of all childhood maladies, so he'd made it his life's work to rectify the situation. Understandably this had not been an unqualified success and a few of the more delinquent pupils had covertly circulated a petition demanding immediate ................

  7. He decided to go by train. This was a rather unfortunate choice, as it took even longer. After being shunted unceremoniously into a siding at Higgley Bottom and forgotten, then derailed at Badger's Mount, just out of Bumble's Green, by a wandering flock of excited, and vociferous turkeys, trudging 20 kms in the pouring rain (at which point he was very thankful he'd packed those wellingtons Dex recommended) he finally reached deepest Cheam, after a journey lasting a mere two days and three nights. The smell of kale assailed his nostrils a good kilometre before he reached the farm and he now wished he'd packed some ...............

  10. I'm the same Athena, I shut my eyes when things get too gruesome. But I handled the books OK, so you should be alright too. You could always skip the more brutal passages. If you do read it, let me know what you think. He really is a very good writer.
  11. So pretty Muggle. And what a beautiful Japanese Maple (if I've got that right)at the back of your second photo. Do you like hellebores and hostas? They would go well with your other plants if they are in the shade.

  13. I've FINALLY finished George RR Martin's Game of Thrones, the first book in his A Song of Ice and Fire series. The length of time it took me to read this in no way reflects on the book's merit. It was absolutely excellent, I highly recommend it. He writes the most wonderful characters, each chapter deals with one of them, and slowly they are all drawn together into one interwoven story. He is a master at unexpected twists and turns in the plot, you're left stunned at some of the events and revelations. At times I found the cruelty and violence very real and graphic, so this may be a bit much for the more tender-hearted. These are long books and I'm going to have a break before the next one, but I will definitely be reading more. I want to watch the first TV series now, I've been waiting to finish the book, it will be interesting to see if the characters are how I've imagined them. ***
