Some days are meant to have room for everything. Last Saturday was one of those day. As I sat on the train from Victoria Station in London on my way to Polegate in Sussex I had no idea, as I took the train back to London again in the late afternoon, I knew :-)
I have already taken you to Charleston, the Bloomsbury house and garden, and I have taken you to Berwich church, the old stone church from the 12th century, decorated in 1941 by Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant (one day I would love to attend a service in that church......one dream always creates a lot of new ones).
In between these two places, Fran took me to the little village Alfriston. "I have a bookshop to show you there. I am sure you´ll love it"
How right she was. Of course I loved it. Much Ado Books, an independent book shop, named one of the best independent shops in UK.
A book shop with new books, with old books, with stationary, postcards, calendars, paper art. Shelves up and down with dreams. And me walking there, knowing that my suitcase was already almost full.
Luckily, just like when my stomach is full there is always room for dessert, when my suitcase is full there is always room for books........
In my second next life I am going to run a book shop like Much Ado Books (in my next life I will run a flower shop like the one Tage Andersen has in Copenhagen) Then I will invite you all over for friends´s reading nights. To be let in you need a ticket, a ticket where you list a few of your favorite books. And while inside, when we are all gathered, I will ask you to share a tale from one of your favorites, a reading memory, a quote.
Thought.........why wait till my second next life? Why not start this now?
Do you have a booklist to share?
Or a book tale?
A quote?
