The Secret Seven v. The Famous Five

[chaletian]

Have just realised that the Secret Seven had 'SS' written on their door. Tee hee.

What are people's feelings in re the Secret Seven? Cuz I never actually liked them as much as, say, the Famous Five. It was the whole having a club to find mysteries, and then going out and finding them thing. It just seemed a bit desperate compared to the FF who were just larking about on exciting holidays and stumbled across them. The FF were having exciting fun anyway, on account of being on groovy holidays on islands or in gypsy caravans, whereas the SS seemed to do all their detecting in between prep and tea.

Ah, Five Go to Finniston Farm... a fine book indeed. There was a midden. For some reason, this always made me happy. Wasn't that how they knew there had been a castle there? It had all gone, and it was just the midden left. How cool is that? It's like archaeology for small children.

Santa brings the tree ? That's different ! So you don't have it up before Christmas Day ?

Clearly though my parents were deceiving me on this Shed issue and I was deprived yes, deprived.

I did try to build a treehouse but they were also on the dangerous side. I also tried to make a meeting place in a hedge and under the stiars but nothing could live up to a shed. Nothing. :le sob:

We have a smallish tree in the dining room that we buy and decorate, but then we wait for Santa to bring the big one for the lounge. We go to bed just before midnight, then when we wake up, it's there. And I *swear* I've looked around beforehand to check if it's really Santa bringing it and you know what...no tree. So bah to those who don't believe in Santa.
