I am a ...Hi Helen,<BR/><BR/>I was delighted to see your blog. I am a huge Ladybird lover. I remember them being around when I grew up (the 1970s) but don't have many specific memories. I discovered them more as a teenager for their wonderful illustrations, being a big fan of vintage design, and have loved and collected them ever since. My favourites are the 563 series (The Party etc.) and Peter & Jane. <BR/><BR/>I'm a designer, I have a design company called Lark(www.larkdesigns.co.uk) and I make one-off gifts from old Ladybird books (tatty ones of course), which have been quite popular. There must be a lot of us out there! I have recently moved to Australia and there are a lot of fans out here too. <BR/><BR/>I have recently started posting some old Ladybirds onto Flickr, as part of the Vintage Children's Books group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/vintagechildrensbooks/). I'm putting a link to your site on my blog and will keep 'tuning in'.<BR/><BR/>All the best - it's very exciting to have a Ladybird blog!<BR/><BR/>AllisonLarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633622022044339389noreply@blogger.com
