Good to hear from you.<br />Love Jane xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742664269417361941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957837048465204452.post-9000489021537221372010-11-15T04:00:06.193+00:002010-11-15T04:00:06.193+00:00Hi there jane,

You have inspired me to read this, I never have but of course know the story from television. Love the illustrations from ARthur Rackham and looked him up on ebay with quite many books coming up for auction. Thanks and have a lovely week JaneDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651821161537234868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957837048465204452.post-74373906988485530242010-11-14T07:38:14.733+00:002010-11-14T07:38:14.733+00:00Hi Mia,

I remember seeing that at the cinema the year it came out and I confess I cried at the end....SUCH a good movie.<br /><br />This year I think it will be the new Harry Potter.<br /><br />Look out for Albert Finney's "Scrooge"(musical version of a Christmas carol)on DVD or Frank Finlay's version(1984) "A christmas Carol" (my favourite version)they are really worth a Christmas view ;0)<br /><br />Billy sends a very warm purr!<br /><br />Love Jane xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742664269417361941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957837048465204452.post-85808763226054917272010-11-13T16:45:02.168+00:002010-11-13T16:45:02.168+00:00Hi Jane,

Every time. We both have our own DVD´s even we ALWAYS watch it together. It's that good :)<br /><br />Happy weekend, kisses to B!<br /><br />Yours,<br />Mia<br /><br />P.S. Great progress, Viv ;)Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17091011579531371814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957837048465204452.post-1793578028310637822010-11-13T16:07:19.113+00:002010-11-13T16:07:19.113+00:00I agree about libraries Michele.

They have internet access, hire DVDs,CDS etc but still has rows of lovely printed books.I do hope they continues to embrace this electronic age and evolve to suit everyone's needs (perhaps even occasionally some mischief-LOL).<br />Love Jane xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742664269417361941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957837048465204452.post-45963042940654935262010-11-13T16:00:14.411+00:002010-11-13T16:00:14.411+00:00It's always a pleasure to discover how others ...It's always a pleasure to discover how others perceive and practice the customs of the season. Thanks for sharing your favorite quotes. They're wonderful and relevant year round. <br />Your experiences at the library make me smile- the library was and is a wonderful place to fuel imaginations, even a little mischief! Hopefully, people will continue to appreciate the tactile qualities of the printed page as the trends shift towards digital communications! <br />Mince pie...I haven't had that in years!

I also love the TV adaptations and usually watch one, even the Muppets one is good fun.<br />Great to have your comments, it's such fun to hear what everyone else does.<br />Have a great weekend, <br />Love Jane xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742664269417361941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957837048465204452.post-82149143770241845332010-11-13T11:02:56.346+00:002010-11-13T11:02:56.346+00:00Hi Jane

I'm getting there!!<br />Actually I mentioned on my blog last night that it was only 5 weeks away and sent some of my readers into a panic. Blame my newsagent he told me that and I had no reason to doubt him. When I thought about it and recounted I realised I was wrong!!<br />Anyhow, A Christmas Carol, I have to admit I've never read it but I of course know the story through TV and film and the moral of the story is excellent.<br />I do love the picture of the sheep in your other book, very beautiful. :)<br />I always loved the poem 'The Night Before Christmas' as a child I knew it off by heart.<br />Goodness Jane, I have gone on a bit!!<br />Have a great weekend.<br />Vivienne x<br />P.S. I loved T.Rex too!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
