Thank you, Clare. Am not sure if we started it at school or it was one on the list but the whole idea of wheels on buildings to provide nests for storks has always interested me and I seem to recall being desperately disappointed when another book was chosen first. I think stork wheels might be mentioned in Eva Ibbotson's "A Song for Summer", which I adored, and also in passing in "A Dog Abroad" by Bruce Vogle but the practicalities interest me. Thank you. Yes, let's see what we can do.

I haven't heard of him, but maybe others know more and between us we can get hold of the book. Clare
