Musings

Life has been a little busy lately, hence the lack of blogging. The 'ladies' events (at least 3 men managed to slip through the door too) went well last week. We always enjoy these events; the lighting, fresh coffee, and homebaked goodies lend themselves to a cosy atmosphere with plenty of good chat and fellowship. It was particularly good to see some new faces in the shop and we hope these new friends will come back now that they have taken that first scary step over the threshold and discovered what a friendly bunch we are! In the clear up following these events I have been reorganising things in the shop... the sale boxes have been filled up, some present ideas have been picked out, plus all the new titles that have been published just in time for Christmas are piling in and quickly finding a slot on the shelves. Hopefully, Jeremy and I will get a chance to read through some of these and blog on them.

There's still plenty of Christmas cards left for those of you who send them and also lots of 2009 calendars and diaries to suit all tastes. Don't forget, gift wrapping is free!

Now, which book shall I read first...?

Send It Gift Wrapped

For those of you who (like me) don't start Christmas shopping until the week before Christmas you may find our gift wrapping service a great solution. It is free! (and you don't get many free things in life) and we are quite happy to send to an address of your choice. Just don't forget the last inland posting dates (for Royal Mail) - second class is Monday 17th, first class is Thursday 20th and Special Delivery can be used right up to Saturday 22nd.

p.s. Don't worry, the gift wrapping isn't normally ripped open as on the photo -that's just a before and after shot!
