More Scribbling-Northern Lights.
Friday 7th April 2017
First Book One of Three.
When I first read the Golden Compass(Northern Lights) I realised that there were two other follow on books, so had to get them and promptly read them. I thoroughly enjoyed them, they were like a cheesy biscuit, ‘moreish’. I enjoyed the style of writing and the imagination of the writer. I would recommend these books to everyone regardless of your personal genre. But must say, these books are classed as children’s fantasy but I would say older child, Harry Potter age.
I also watched the film, trailer above for those of you that haven’t, and I would go as far to say that it was very good and a great comparison to the book. Again I would suggest watching it if you haven’t already. If you do decide to do both – read and watch, then may I say ….Enjoy.

formerly known as
I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

I’ve not read or seen, Gerry, but I might well do both. Not really my kind of book and I’m not a cinema go-er but it’s full of acting faces that I recognise and that bodes well. I’m sure my daughter would love it. She would be my ideal companion. Thanks for the tip. 🙂 🙂
Will try to hunt you out some Rome suggestions later this week. Full on right now. 🙂 Happy Easter!
And Jo I am confident you both will enjoy both. Let me know your result. And thank you so much for any info/help. Welcome always.
Mindful of our Rome conversation, Gerry, I have a link for you

You may have seen it but it looks like good reading matter. I’ll send you anything else I come across. Would you prefer me to email?
Thank so much Jo. Everything is appreciated and will now go and check it out. Again thanks so much. Email … cobbies69@hotmail.com
You’re welcome! 🙂
Assuming everything is ok, Gerry, and you’re simply busy on a project? 🙂 Good thing I came visiting because I’d forgotten about Italy. Swept along by life- you know how it is.
Yes, everything is fine Jo thankyou. Not too busy am a little brain blocked at moment. Am making preps for trip. Renew passport, insurance.EHIC card etc. Have got your email and will certainly check blog and get back to you. A big thanks speak soon 🔦🔦
