• No shortage of Wild Things on the Farmy

  “Oh please don’t go.  We’ll eat you up … We love you so.” And Max said “NO.” from Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak one of my favourite children’s books of all time. I never saw the movie, I loved the book that much.  I have read it to children so many times…

  I know people have posts called Wordless Wednesday, and really it is Saturday though we are commenting on Friday, and I am never short of words but sometimes short of photos so it is Photo-less Friday on a Saturday.  It all gets so confusing.  Poor us living in the past with our pleasantly addled brains.…
