In which I Wallow in Nostalgia

Just found this on the Grauniad website - a little blast from my past.

Old covers from Puffin Club magazines. Some of which are really rather surreal. Most of them, really. No prizes for guessing which decade I grew up in!

Not much inspired to say at the moment, but I just felt I had to post and share the pretty.

I almost screamed with excitement just now. For reals. I still OWN copies of that!! I won a competition once and they printed my picture of Fat Puffin!

Wow... You were published in the Puffin Post? How cool is that!

And if I can ever find it, I'll scan. :D

"I say old boy..." = how the Snooty Private-School Puffins talk.

Wait...Public School? I think I meant that.

The terminology's confusing, isn't it? They both look pretty much the same from where I'm standing...

That's a very pondering icon you have there - a brooding icon, in fact!

I love these. I never knew there was anything like this - woe!

I was a member of that club for a while! I loved getting those magazines, though it's only with hindsight that I can see how freakishly lovely the covers were! I'm so glad it's being revived.
