...A dark, dark tale, Dratt Trisca got her review in first after I requested this category oh well never mind , here we go . Let me tell you about A dark, dark tale Written and illustrated by Ruth brown published first by Random house children’s books in 1981 then by red fox in 1992. This book retails for £8.99 This book is available in English and Somali You could start reading this book to your child at about the age of 2 and a child of 5 –6 should be able to read it alone. I think it is just about key stage 2 . This book is a paperback 21cmx26cm 29 pages long. On the cover we see a circle a window into the book a black cat is staring out of it at you the scene behind the cat is of a castle surrounded by mist with a full moon behind it. The picture makes you think the book is spooky it entices you in, so open... Read review

Advantages: DMX's RUFF RYDERS ANTHEM / superb lyrics, amazing DARK production, gritty flow - BITES!
Disadvantages: DMX's lyrics can be X-plicit and frightening for young children - SO WATCH OUT, GRRR!

Advantages: Good tasty porter with a stout-like quality.
Disadvantages: Harder to find than some beers.

...We have just recovered from setting up and working at Chesterfield Beer Festival ~ the 6th Annual Festival run by the branch of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) that I belong to. It is hard work, but also great fun, because we get to source, order, buy and sell beers from breweries all over the country. This year our theme was Local Beers for Local Folk so, although not as widespread, the beer ordering put us in contact with some small interesting beers from small interesting breweries. I tend to be a fan of dark beers so when choosing beers off of the list at a Beer Festival I look at the dark beers first and then try some of the others. This year I started with some Oatmeal Stouts and then moved on to a beer that sounded right up my street ~ Dark Side from the Boggart Hole Clough Brewing Company. ~~~THE BREWERY. Boggart Hole...

The story is based around a cute baby owl who is afraid of the dark. He sets out to find out why he shouldn`t be scared and ends up saying that it is super.
