That was a lot welsher than I was expecting, as I only know it from the Japanese anime version, and I had assumed that was where it came from. I didn't realise that there had been a book first. Howl turns out to be 'Howell Jenkins' a Rugby fan who has somehow ended up a magician in a magical world, but who can pop back to the valleys occasionally. It was a great book for kids though, full of magic and inspired by fairy tales. I'll recommend it to my kids, but it's probably too young for Freddie and Libby now, and not enough action for William. Ah well, what a shame. It was William's 10th birthday on Monday, and he had a great time at laserquest with his friends. He's still young enough to unashamedly enjoy toys and playing, and is getting increasingly into football. He got a Man City shirt for his birthday, as he has decided they are his team. Let's see if that lasts. Him and i are going away camping with the cubs this weekend, which I don't feel really prepared for yet - 48 hours to prep and pack though. I think I should manage to pack down my popup tent though as Fred has been giving me lessons.
