By: Blonde Two
As you know, we Blondes had a certain measure of success last Christmas with our debut children’s book, ‘The Dartmoor Christmas Tree’. Thank you very much if you played a part in that. We are making plans to ensure that DCT does even better over Christmas 2015.
In the meantime, we have some more Blonde publications in the pipeline. We are not going to tell you lovely people what they are yet because Blondes love secrets … but we think they are going to be good!
What we thought would be lovely today would be if you fabulous Blondees and Blondettes let us know what books you would like to see Two Blondes Walking (we are an actual real live company) publish. Would you like to read;
1) A Mills and Blonde? Maybe something steamy?
2) An anthology of Blonde poetry? Maybe something arty?
3) Blonde One’s guide to cooking? Maybe something tasty?
4) MasterBlonde? Maybe something quizzical?
5) I-Blonde? Maybe some science fiction?
6) Sherlock Blonde? Maybe something with clues?
7) Planet of the Blondes? Maybe something futuristic?
8) Blonde and Blondjudice? Something witty?
9) Frankenblonde? Something monstrous?
10) Alice in Blonderland? Something utterly weird? (Oh no, we do that already.)
As you can see, we have a few ideas but if you think you have any better ones, do please let us know. Our writing career is in its infancy and you guys are, after all, our very best customers!
Shaken Not Stirred – Top Ten Blonde Cocktails for Campsites
Bear Frylls – what not to wear in the outdoors, for girls (I know I’ve said it before but I think it could sell!)
Blonde-tiki – in which the Blondes attempt crossing of various Dartmoor reservoirs on a homemade raft
Seven Years on Dartmoor – in which our heroines escape the confines of their day jobs, and escape to freedom, befriending the wise red-coated guardians of the moor on their travels
In Blonde Trouble Again – in which all tales of Dartmoor derring do are collated
I’d need a new bookshelf…
I did a lot of raft building during her time as a Scout leader. They almost always fell apart! We could write it but it would require waterproof paper.
I like “Seven Years on Dartmoor” the Red-Coated-Guardians sound like fun.
My favourite though, is “In Blonde Trouble Again.” We would have endless things to write about … Thank you 🙂
Can I just point out that numbers 3 and 9 are the same thing!
I have recently had a conversation with someone very sensible this week who suggested that the Two Blondes do a ‘fifty shades…’ which would be titled ‘What went on under the Dartmoor Christmas Tree’.
Sensible people are scary aren’t they. We should avoid them 🙂
a brief history of Blonde time – the weft and warp of interplanetary life
Could be tricky Gimmer. Blonde time is an odd stretchy and bendy thing …
dead ringer then – space-time is what you make of it, despite the uncertainty of where and when: the harder you look, the harder it is to find, of course.
Like elves and pixies – don’t know about Blondes (?): blondes ? not telling.
Dartmoor and its time, being thus, it seems, both finite and endless, you should manage to stretch it into a good tale – you might even share a Nobel prize for literature as well as for the new take on quantum physics!
I thought that I was having an odd space time experience during Saturday’s bivvy. Watch this blog space for the story.
I am not sure how molecules, if they are left to their own devices, behave; but that is how I want to end up – molecules floating around Dartmoor.
we used to have a phrase with which to grapple with these thermodynamic quandaries:
‘Entropy, the Wonder Horse’
(ie his high state of Entropy and his desire to lose Free Energy to lower it was kept in check by harness, reins and duties, whereas he wished to be free to roam the galaxy – just like Champion: when loosed, he lost Free Energy and thus fell to a lower state of Entropy (not quite same thing – still with me ? already asleep? or just lost the will?). Chaos always has the lowest entropy and molecules long for it – not quite right for an earthly sentient being: having the lowest free energy makes it no good for Blondes, or Blonds, so keep to the higher entropy path – a useful metaphor for ‘civilised’ life and wild open spaces, I always think.
Kept us going through lectures anyway!
I do like a bit of entropy and the Wonder Horse (the tune is in my head) is a most excellent creation.
Maybe that is the definitive Blonde Mission – to combat low entropy with meticulous over planning.
start lobbying now –
no other outdoor blogs seem to discuss cosmic fundamentals with quite the same degree of . . . errr . . . insouciance , if at all, so you will be a shoe-in
How about
“Secrets between the icicles”
“Who put that pebble there?”
“Stiff breezes on the moor”
“Mired in”
“Hot Soup and Pickles”
“The Ghost of Wheal”
“How the fish became” (with reference to Hethercombe)
Definitely ‘Secrets behind the Icicles’ during last night’s bivvy!
As a sequel to ‘Who Put That Pebble There’, ‘Who Put That Bog There.’
