At the moment … I'd like to disappear off to this Penzance shop to quietly keep my head down away from the news … to be able to read lots of books – but life is here in sunny old Eastbourne – when the sun decides to show its face again …
I'm forever blowing bubbles appeared in my little grey cells – the lyrics don't really fit the time … but I could happily sit on the sands dreaming as the days pass … til the need to blow bubbles has passed.
The lighter days cometh … it is now warmer and of course damper – British weather.
I have numerous tomes, some shorter!, I hope to talk to you about some of them – all in due time of course … for now the winter darkness is still around … but these crocuses are reaching above ground to cheerfully greet us … and remind us time doth pass …
I'm off to an exhibition on Sunday using the Sussex Art Shuttle … a little bus that takes us from the Towner Gallery out to Charleston (Bloomsbury Group Sussex home) … meandering through the swathes of snowdrops, early daffodils and those crocuses …
Not to the bookshop (or the edge of the world) … but a bright informative exhibition in the Sussex landscape will satisfy … enjoy your times …

The Sussex Shuttle is a very clever idea. The Bloomsbury Group's Sussex Home was one of the first places I wanted to visit, once I went back to uni to study British art history.
Thank you for talking about the exhibition that some people won't know about. Yet!

I am ever grateful that we have galleries and parklands and shorelines...and bookshops... to escape to and forget the mad, mad, mad world we currently are faced with.... YAM xx
The Edge of the World Bookshop is such a lovely name. The place looks so very inviting too, the kind of place to lose oneself. As YAM says, it is a mad, mad, mad world we are faced with at present; here we have to contend with the constant madness south of the border. To hole up in a bookstore seems a very inviting prospect.

The art shuttle is a great idea. I’m torn between appalled fascination and wanting to hide my head in the sand at the news at the moment.
Your art escapade sounds delightful. I'm posting about a little jaunt to some local galleries. Yes, blow bubbles, view art, or go to The End of the World Bookstore...any escapism is worth it. Take care. The crocuses have hope.
Enjoy the exhibition! Cold winter here. With snow and ice!
Oh what beautiful crocuses. Enjoy the exhibit:) Cheers,
