365

This is my first blog and it is my attempt to take more notice of the world around me. I plan to take a photo a day for 356 days, hopefully it will show that there are interesting things happening around me, and that my life isn't too dull!

Wish me luck.

In recent years the Magic Faraway Tree books have been republished, they have lovely covers and are still very popular with children today, unfortunately, someone somewhere in the world thought it would be better to make the books pc, to do this they have changed the childrens names and in some places removed chapters completely. How ridiculous!! Yes times have changed, but generations of adults grew up reading these book and did it do them any harm? Grrrr! Yes i am having a rant, but these books have such fond memories for me, that i feel really annoyed that they have been tampered with.

Unfortunately my copies were given away when i was younger, and i refused to buy the newer versions, so i had to track these down via a famous auction site, and thank's to my partner's fast bidding i was able to get really good quality versions with no inscriptions for a really good price.
