a) La Gr@not@ has launched a facebook page and you're all invited to join. To spare the 3 monitors a load of fiddly work, please don't tell friends and relations about it UNTIL your request for membership has been approved. Once you're in, you just add your friends yourself, without needing to take up the monitors' time. We already have 79 members and hope to grow and grow. Anybody interested in children's books is welcome, either as creator or as student/consumer/parent/curious. The URL is https://facebook.com/groups/962409033904304/
b) We have already received submissions from 3 users of THIS (W&As) site and are trying to persuade another to submit something.
c) Read our guidelines at http://la-granota.com/crazy.htm and - if you feel that your work fits the bill, send it off to us. We need experience in writing rejection e-mails. ;p :D
d) For the nth time, I remind people to please take part in 2 writing projects aimed at an adult readership, but that will benefit children. I find it difficult to understand why writers wouldn't want to expand their CVs, as these two books will almost certainly be published.

Now that you're (I hope) over the hangovers resulting from summer hols, perhaps these 2 projects will really take off.

Thanks, Lorraine!
I'll have you know that I took a couple of bottles of MY elderflower champagne to a New Year's party in Spain a few years back. In Spain, we have cava which - at the risk of irating the French - is every bit as good as champagne. And the Spanish are ALMOST as fond of their drink as the French. (The ones at that party were, for sure!)
Several people said that they preferred the elderflower champagne to the cava. Maybe they were being polite. But the acid test [keep in mind that there were also other - stronger - beverages available, as well as beer and wine] was that the next morning, my bottles were empty... and there were several bottles of cava unopened.
I have now made elderflower champagne in 5 countries (on 2 continents). Never - I will admit - in France... but only for lack of a place to stay for the 3-week minimum fermentation.
Congratulations, Jimmy!
Elderflower champagne? In France? I think not!
