I should have read all those when I was younger, when the brain was still a sponge. But I went from fairy tales and Enid Blyton directly to Lawrence DH where I learnt the word "loins".

Despite knowing that this is a bad habit, after so many decades, I have accepted that it is a part of me that is difficult to change :-).<br /><br />By all means read slowly er ...but please don't give up blogging ya?;)<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04634500080780558798noreply@blogger.com
