Eclectic outpourings as books pass through

Busy Bees

@ 08:11 AM (36 months, 29 days ago)

Well, the bookshop has been really buzzing this week - which is good news.  August is not usually a "hot" time for used book sales, but this year we seem to have managed to buck the trend. Long may it last.  I'd like it think that it's the result of some of the new features we've added to our website over the last few weeks but I don't have anyway to prove that.

But while we've been busy bees in the bookshop, the garden has been neglected horribly. If the plants havn't been dessicated by the heat, then they are rotting in the heavy rains of the last couple of days. And everything is running away and growing - mostly weeds of course.  And our old gardener is back in town and wants to see what we've done with the wonderful garden he designed for us.  He's going to be very disappointed, but hopefully that will inspire him to come and do some more work for us after his visit tomorrow.
