    My favourite childhood book character has always been HEIDI. Switzerland’s favorite mountain girl is doubly cool, because she is cool both on the mountain (she’s aces at goat-herding) and off her native hillside (she serves as a loyal and sweet companion to Clara, the resident “sick girl” of Frankfurt). She’s loyal to everyone she loves, and she even helps Clara learn how to walk. She’s a total (adorably pigtailed) package.

    I first loved Mr Fox for his quick wit, cunning plans, and excellent banter. Rereading Roald Dahl’s tale of animal triumph in the face of adversity, I have also been struck by how – well – human he is. His fight is as much with his own ego as it is with the farmers; he struggles to balance his desire for glory with the needs of his family. He is a good friend, a kind father and a loyal husband but he is also vain, short-tempered and inclined towards self-pity. A truly fantastic fox – but one that is strongly relatable for all us messy people.

    Noddy

    I loved Nancy Drew!!!!

  19. Yolika Muscat says

    Pippie Langkous

Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse  and @your_motivationalcoach sipping cappacino and having a nice chicken sandwich and brownie squares while Nicky had a muffin and some pies. He was also giving me a blow by blow of squid games. 😂
