Part 2 is all about my current book obsession, and in particular, Puffin paperbacks it seems.
Discovering unfamiliar ones
Isn't this cover wonderful?
And rediscovering much-loved old favourites
Oh, how I loved the Wombles.
Part 3 (!) tomorrow, I have some beautiful and groovy bedding to show you and also the £2 Polaroid camera that I'm so excited to even think about using.

um..um..I was a womble at school , I even set up the wombles at our primary school , we used to collect the rubbish in the playground , there said it ! I was orrinoco. Did you see the scene in Neil Jordans film Breakfast at Pluto ? did you ,did you ? If not I wont spoil it ,but its got a womble theme (tee hee ) Poloroid are the best , I love mine , film is a bit expensive , but you tend to make the photo "work" coz its so expensive (goodness , is that the time !,I best retire to bed)

Can't wait to see the bedding!
Are the Wombles a Brit thing? I really want to read all about their adventures!
Jane - aw how sweet! Make Good Use of Bad Rubbish! I haven't seen Breakfast at Pluto - thanks for the tip-off, I'll put in on our list!
I found some film today! But I'm too scared to put it in, in case it doesn't work and all my dreams are dashed...
Flora - Coming right up!
Erin - You need to get with The Wombles, read this and then tell me you're not won over completely.

I did see another copy of Wombles at Work yesterday so really do want to read about their adventures, let me know and I'll get it for you!
I remember reading the Silver Sword at primary school, and to the 8 year old me, it was the best book in the world! I seem to remember it being set in Poland during WW2, and an orphan boy, but that's as far as my memory stretches am afraid. Definitely read it!
Great books! I have that very version of The Silver Sword and I think I had the 101 Dalmations too. I gave my god-daughter The Silver Sword for her Christmas - I loved it...... and I hope she does too!
