Thanks very much Imogen, Cassidym and Don.
I've seen those kinds of introductions on other forums Don, especially on a birdwatching forum I frequent, and it does seem very rude to post questions in the introductions part of the forum - not a good way to introduce yourself!
I think I've heard of 'Flashman' cassidym, will keep that in mind although with so many paper books on my shelf still to read and a rapidly expanding collection of classics and free books on my kindle I doubt I'll get around to those in all honesty! It's the same with my tv and film watching... I've tried to limit what I buy as the pile of stuff to watch just keeps growing and growing!
I need to break off from the Kindle for a bit to read some paper books soon - I'm going on holiday to Suffolk in May to stay near the Minsmere nature reserve (went there last year and it was wonderfully peaceful but also
unbelievably rich in wildlife) and really want to finish reading Flying in the Face of Nature by Simon Barnes before I go, which I picked up in a secondhand bookshop in the village when I was there last year and is all about the area and its wildlife.
