The old lady had a habit of writing the date in books that were gifts when we were young. She must have known it would be handy to look back at. I used to really enjoy losing myself and goofing out in

Been sorting through my late mums book collection and came across these..

I don't read anything to sad and deep....gives me nightmares 😂

Just read a chapter in another Ron Thompson book about Lions and a fatal attack at night on game lodge in what was Rhodesia and the graphic details of 3 of the victim's in their own words what must have been a miracle to survive the fatal attack  when it could have been avoided if the head ranger had given the go ahead to rid the lion that had been roaming around the camp but he did not and sadly he became the lion's fatal victim.

FAO Mackem. This is a good read. More the rise than the fall. Good honest research IMO. Interesting report on charge of the Light Brigade, a comedy of errors (apart from lads getting slaughtered) that could almost have resulted in a famous victory. 

Saul David used to put out some good historical TV documentaries but haven't seen anything from him for quite awhile. Possibly because he is male and tries to educate and entertain with facts. To get an historical documentary on TV these days it would appear that you need to be a woman with theories that all that we have been led to believe previously is wrong, and that women were actually the driving force behind most historical events not men, or not a white person, and people who were not white played a far more significant role in history than we have been led to believe. Or gay... almost forgot about them.

There's a joke in there somewhere... I'd rather read War and Peace than...? Sorry TOMO, no offence intended.

I read it from start to finish because I was told there was a chapter about Borzois coursing wolves, and sure enough, there was. But it’s a very engrossing book. Downloaded it on my Kobo for free;
