6th February 2014 by Jax Blunt Leave a Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU2NVWDdiZU I get the oddest emails via the blog. Win the chance to visit the set of Downton Abbey? This is to support a charity fundraising for the Philippines.

Connor's Eco den #100Books

31st January 2011 by Jax Blunt 2 Comments

On our library raid yesterday I spotted a book with a geodesic dome on the cover. I couldn't resist, and added to the pile of 71 books we were bringing home with us. It's an interesting take. Turns out that Barrington Stoke, the publishers, are working very hard to design books for reluctant … [Read more...] about Connor's Eco den #100Books
