How to learn to Surf

By someone who remembers. These are a few words of help and advice if you’re planning on having a go at surfing. I’ve seriously got the bug, but I’ve only had the chance to go a few times so far, so I hope you live a little nearer than me to a good surfing beach!

A Crack In The Line

View this item on Amazonby Michael Lawrence. Published by Orchard Books. Oh I hate computers. I just wrote a fully and nicely worded review; then I click update and it decides it no longer has a connection; so I click Back, and all my work has disappeared. So this review of a book called A Crack In The Line, is a bit shorter than previously I’m afraid because I hate doing things twice!!!
