October 2016.

https://www.facebook.com/Fans-of-Travel-Books-347855165266574/

Over the past couple of weeks I have been aiming to complete at lest an hour per day on my book "Pure Light."  At times this as been quite a challenge due to taking care of my two small children who seem to be awake 247.

But I have gone back to the drawing board again with my book and I am still editing the first chapter and trying to work on the dialog between the charters, this is something that I have always found quite challenging.

I have all been doing more research on South Africa which is were I would like the book to be set; I have managed to find out some very intresting  places and things about the country that I am hopefully going to be able to add to my book which is fiction.

Although my book is fictional I have added a few places that are real and charities that  I shall also be including in my book.

Since tiding up my belongings this week I did come across two book that I rembered reading many years ago and would like to recommend to people to read.

I am mentioning  them because they cover what it is like to live in Somalia and about a women who is a UN Ambassador.  She also helped to set up "The Campaign of Eliminate FGM" (Female Genital Mutilation).

“Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. ” ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

“Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. ” J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Where is the statue of Peter Pan in London?
The Peter Pan statue is located in Kensington Gardens to the west of the Long Water. The creator of Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie, commissioned Sir George Frampton to build the statue in 1902. It was erected in Kensington Gardens in 1912.
This is why, even though I will always love  Peter Pan; it makes me said too.  This book was gifted to Great Ormand Street Hospital and to day they appear to still get Royalties and this is why.

Why is a Raven is like a writing desk?

Carroll's answer to why a raven is like a writing desk? "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!" I'm sure your thighs are now sore from the repeated slapping they took after you read that line.

I love Alice in wounder land and Alice through the looking glass by Lewis Carol.  This is a book from my childhood and one that I still have a copy of today.
