The Roald Dahl telegraph…

Springtime for Roald:

“April is the coolest month… or, at least, that’s what Roald Dahl thought! He once wrote, ‘Now at last we can say that spring has arrived, and with it come flocks of summer migrants, all those little birds that flew away to the warmer countries in the south when it began to get cold last October. Most of them go as far as North Africa and don’t ask me how they find their way there and back again because that is one of the great mysteries of the world.” And it’s true, too! Despite it snowing in Great Missenden only last week, there are new flowers in the hedgerows and birds chirping in the trees. And after scoffing a huge pile of chocolate Easter eggs recently, some fresh air and exercise outdoors is a jolly good thing, too!

Not only is April a good time for going on bracing walks though. Share the joys of spring with your friends by sending them a scrumdiddlyumptious postcard from roalddahl.com... either tell your chums how much you love them with THE BFG, or remind them of how silly you think they are with THE TWITS.”

“‘I have never met a man,’ said Grandma Georgina, ‘who talks so much absolute nonsense!’
‘A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men,’ Mr Wonka said.”

"Roald Dahl adored a good Knock-Knock joke...

Knock-Knock!
Who's there?
Wooden shoe!
Wooden shoe who?

Wooden shoe like to know!Who's there? Wooden shoe! Wooden shoe who? Wooden shoe like to know!" type="hidden">
