When I was a young 'un I used to love Gwynedd Rae's books about a bear called Mary Plain, but I haven't come across anyone else who remembers this small bear from Berne who has fantastic adventures and becomes famous.
It's amazing what a lasting impression the books we read as children have. I know they're politically incorrect in lots of ways but I still think Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Secret Seven books were terrific stories, real 'ripping yarns'!
On a completely different topic - and more craft related - this is just a very basic collage of images that appealed to me.
I find tearing these sort of images out of magazines and just putting them together on a sheet of paper or card is good for helping inspire sewing projects. You see colour combinations or patterns, and they can spark off needlepoint designs or quilt ideas. I love that little image of spices on sale in a market - the mix of pale blue containers and warm earthy spicy shades. Lovely.
