Books, bits, bobs and the occasional cat…
Good afternoon, bookworm, do come in! I’m indoors today doing some much needed dusting of the photographs dotted around the library. I hadn’t realised just how many have been photo-bombed by dragons, cats or piles of books which had sneaked off the shelves and into the background of the shot. Actually, photo-bombing makes me think […]
Read MoreWelcome bookworm, it’s so lovely to see you again! You must have heard the sound of the kettle whistling on the stove ready for me to pour a warming cup of tea. Can I tempt you to Manchester tart, still a little warm from my baking this morning? Ooh, speaking of Manchester, let me tell […]
Read MoreGood morning, bookworm, do come in and sit in your favourite chair. It’s the first time this year that I haven’t built up a cosy log fire and have opened the top stable door instead to hear the birdsong. Ah, I can see you’re looking puzzled by the sound of the sea despite being nowhere […]
Read MoreHello there, bookworm, come in out of the rain. You’re just in time for some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies which I took out of the oven a moment ago. They’re the perfect treat on a miserable day, like a sweet hug for your tastebuds. Here’s a hot cup of tea to go with them […]
Read MoreGood morning, bookworm! Can you believe it’s the middle of April already? Apparently the weather hasn’t got the message that it’s spring time yet and keeps surprising me with frost and snow. It’s even worse in my mystical library as the Weather Books have had yet another fall out with the Gardening Books, so they’re […]
Read MoreHello bookworm, it’s lovely to see you again! Please excuse the sand on the floor; I took a well earned break from my usual duties and, with the help of the Travel Books, visited many beautiful places. A benefit of being a Keeper of Books in a mystical library is I get to travel to […]
Read MoreHello bookworm, how lovely to see you so bright and early! The clocks sprung forward in the early hours this morning so I’ve made some extra strong coffee to help me adjust to it. I don’t know about you but I always feel a little discombobulated when I lose the hour to British Summer Time. […]
Read MoreGood morning, bookworm, do come in. Can I get you some hot toast with butter on? The dragons have been a little overactive with spring being in the air so I set them the task of toasting my bread. With any luck, they’ll wear themselves out while we sit and have a catch up. So, […]
Read MoreGood afternoon, bookworm, do come in. You’ll have to keep your eyes peeled as one of the dragons is rather over-excited by the blustery weather so keeps dive-bombing the bookshelves. This hasn’t gone down well with the books and they’re gathered in various corners, pages aflutter, to complain about the menace. Speaking of menaces, have […]
Read MoreGood morning, bookworm, what a lovely surprise. Come in and have some breakfast with me. Watch you don’t trip over the old typewriter on the floor; I’m still trying to find a home for it where I can use it easily but where the Modern Technology books won’t interfere with it. They’ve been rather scathing […]
