Oh Dear!

I'm afraid it has been an awfully long time since I last wrote anything. I will try and keep more things coming now that things are back to normal. I have recently been re-reading a number of books and then writing about them for my English Three course, so by the time the assignments get sent in I really cannot stand to write about the same books all over again. In addition to this I went on a trip to England and saw a lot of my family and a whole load of very exciting places. I went to the British Museum, which I have always dreamed of visiting, The Victoria And Albert Museum, Hampton Court Palace, Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, The Museum Of Kent Life and The Natural History Museum as well as a lot of churches, ruins, bookshops, parks and so on. When I got back it was almost Christmas and with that came a lot of performing with the Victoria Salvation Army Band and the choir I'm in plus the usual busy-ness of life. Once Christmas was over and we were in the New Year I had three essays to write in one week, which I did and now I finally have the time to read a book again! I have just finished Winifred Watson's Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day, which was one of the best books I've read in a long time, so I shall certainly be reviewing that later this week. It is also the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Dickens, so I shall have to do something special for that as well. But for now, my Latin homework calls, so I shall write more later.
