Boxful Of Treasures, A - Sandy Denny

STAY A WHILE WITH ME.

Advantages: A step back in time.
Disadvantages: Not known enough today.

back the work don't take the limelight, but do in fact enhance the experience, the drummer being discreet, and the double bass and sitar (relatively new on the folk scene at the time) are enhanced by the vocals and the vocals of Sandy Denny on this album are the most important aspect, giving crisp and clear rendition of the songs that the listener soon learns to enjoy and perhaps even treasure. Looking through the track listing of this album, the memories that come to mind about the thoughts I had growing up with these songs still have significance, and I don't believe that rare recordings such as these date. "Nothing Else will do" is a good introduction, upbeat, sing along, folksy classic, although the track that follows it is an astounding one.

My Box of Fishy Treasures

Advantages: A variation on fish cakes
Disadvantages: Slightly bland tasting

My children both like fish cakes, and although we make our own, we normally have a packet of fish cakes in the freezer for when we are in a rush for tea.

As with all Iceland products, Ocean Treasures are free from genetically modified ingredients, artificial colours and preservatives, which makes me more inclined to buy Iceland's own label foods. The Treasures can be either oven baked, grilled or fried. The sell by date ...

Review of Iceland Ocean Treasures

National Treasure

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

National Treasure has to be one of my favourite Disney Movies in the last 10 years, and even though I think of myself logically too old for Disney films, this particular film has such a likeable, watchable quality to it, and at times reminds me of my younger years. For me national treasure has everything, action, comedy, family feel movie, yet at the same time not too cheesy. The cast is brilliant, and with the addition of Nicholas Cage, Sean Bean and Jon Voight, this film certainly has some of Hollywood's best. Plot: The story is set in America, and the plot centres around Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage), who is a obsessed historian, who's family through generations have believe in a legend that their was gold hidden somewhere in America, by the founding fathers of America, to protect it from British Soldiers. However, to ...
