‘I’d like to go to Africa and see forests full of parrots!’
I’m not sure about the parrots but I’m off on an African adventure soon – details to follow in my next post.
Very Happy New Year to one and all. May 2018 prove fulfilling.
Very Happy New Year!
Sophie Neville 
I hope the New Year is kind to you, Sophie.
Looking forward to hearing more about your adventure.
Best wishes 🙂
Thanks so much! I am meant to be getting fit but am ill in bed with a throat infection that won’t shift – not a good start to 2018 but at least I don’t need to fly today.
Thanks Sophie — and best wishes for a wonderful New Year to you too
Wishing you strength and courage for the year ahead! Have fun too. Love, Sophie

Happy New Year!What a lovely drawing! It looks like Nancy Blackett drew it! (I hope that is taken as the compliment it is intended to be!)
I am new to the amazing and delightful world of Arthur Ransome but am so very inspired by YOUR enthusiasm and interest! Best wishes and feel better soon!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for writing in. I am just back from taking a number of intrepid explorers through the game reserves of South Africa and am already busy planning Swallows and Amazons events for the spring and summer. Let me know if you live anywhere near Tavistock. I’ll be speaking about Arthur Ransome there on 21st April.
