    Questions for our UK members

    I think the main difference between the adult and children's books is the cover design. I think the adult versions look like this and the child versions look like this. Stephen Fry narrates them. He is wonderful, very well spoken posh English accent. He is also the presenter of Qi, and starred...

    So Much Snow!

    Maybe its mostly in the South atm? I'm in London and in my street we have 2"-3" in places. I can see fox trails in the snow. Those foxes must be freezing. My cats are currently asleep under the radiator, sensible creatures

    So Much Snow!

    Anyone in England still up? We've had a freezing cold Sunday, and its been snowing for most of this evening. I've never seen so much snow! And its still falling thickly. We only get snow once a year, if that. I know I'll hate it when it freezes and goes all slippery tomorrow, but for now its...

    twilight
