I am reading 'Swallows and Amazons' by Arthur Ransome - makes one want to be 10 again
- and living in the Lake District!!
It happens to contain one of my favourite quotes too. When the children ask their absent navy commander Father if they might sail their boat and camp on a deserted island further down the lake he replies by telegram thus:
BETTER DROWNED THAN DUFFERS IF NOT DUFFERS WONT DROWN
Priceless!
Have also just finished 'Four Seasons in Rome' by Anthony Doerr.
On the cover it says 'On twins, insomnia, and the biggest funeral in the history of the world'.
A really good read that has certainly wet my appetite for my trip!
This afternoon we all went for a swim,
tonight we are going to watch 'The King's Speech',
tomorrow afternoon a hit of tennis ...
and then on Monday it all begins again!!!!
Hooray, school lunches!!!!
Hope you are all having a happy weekend!
