Regards, Mike

Thanks Mike, but we live 30 miles south of there in Caerphilly Big Grin

We were only there for the weekend, but what a weekend, eh? Clapping hands

Oh! I have one of those and one on my hat too Tongue

Actually I'm in Germany, but I don't have a camera to hand...
My kindle enjoyed its first trip through the channel tunnel, and is now being cautiously viewed out of the corners of people's eyes over here...

RE: Kindle on Holiday

Just back from Egypt, and my 3G Kindle performed admirably! Not a hiccup. Email, Facebook, Kindle Store etc. Simply wonderful.

Saw a fellow "Kindleer" around the pool, and we both looked at each other knowingly, without a hint of smugness (ok, maybe a tiny bit ...) in a sea of envious paperbacks.

Icing on the cake? A bloke asked me a few days ago, how much I'd been paying for a daily newspaper around the pool, he'd just been stung for 40EP (about 4 quid) ... I told him I hadn't been buying a newspaper, as I was just reading BBC (and Google) news on my 3G Kindle Reading Kindle

The only fly in the ointment was that I'd foolishly put the 1st Harry Potter book onto it, and once discovered by my eldest, then lost my Kindle for hours at a time ... ho-hum Thumbs Down

My Kindle enjoyed a lovely break in Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds. Cool

Nice pic there Susanne - was it mere serendipity that the one author pic on the screensavers of someone whose characters were traditionally cream tea fanciers (just look at all the things that happen in Poirot during Cream Tea or Afternoon tea!) is showing while you yourself were taking a cream tea?

We should lobby for claiming tax back on the Kindle, since we are offsetting the carbon footprint of getting treebooks. Reading Kindle

Not quite by chance. I opened/closed the Kindle a couple of times until it came to a photo I thought would be reasonably relevant and when Agatha came up, I thought it was just perfect.
