Ever drifting down the stream- Life, what is it but a dream?”

Dearest Emily,

We are moving shop- I expect Mummy told you.

Also- it has been raining- A LOT.

Our soon to be old/old shoppe, suited us well as we set out our stall, and tested the water.

Our new old/shoppe is opposite a stream- with a lovely view for us from its big windows...




You may have picked up here Em, that a theme is coming up in my train of thought...

WATER.

Water and books don't mix.

Our new shop, has water running from the tap, and water in a stream across the road.

That'll do us nicely.

Our old shop- had water coming up through the foundations, seeping in through the back-door that was plonked in without any threshold to prevent it. Soaking wet joists rotted and fungus grew on rotting floorboards. Three de-humidifiers changed daily- merely elevated the situation to a dry-rot one.

Enough said.

We slip off down the stream, to our newly refurbished shop- with sound floorboards, and leave our de-humidifiers behind!


See you on the other-side of the Green dear Em,

Your ever-loving Grandmother,

GiGi xxx
