I will have to fess up

... to reading the Famous Five on a Treasure Island today.

I bought this series for the grandchildren and decided to read the first to see what I could remember. It was written in1942. Generally it was excellent until page 102 where the uncle (Quentin) told the kids they had no say because they were "just children" and his wife "would do as he says" too. Ha ha, that's not how it works these days...

Had a quick visit to the kids place and a bit of quiet time before they returned this evening, all very tired.
