@LittleToller Us too. The ownership does not represent what we stand for and who we care about. x

What I'm learning today is that people in the US really don't like women. Including many women.

Aww … thank you ☺️

Today I had the joy of representing bookselling alongside Laura @booksaremybag and Debbie @kibworthbooks at a parliamentary reception organised by the @the_brc at Portcullis House. We spoke to MPs about the retail issues of the moment.

It’s never just about selling books - it’s about the joy and fellowship of being welcomed into a joyous and nurturing space. We ❤️ books!

We’ve helped people find the perfect book from titles we’ve hand chosen, & taken orders for delivery next week.

Bookshops are amazing.

This morning we’ve had visits from regular customers & new - all excited to see what’s been released recently.

We’ve greeted young & old, had jolly chats, given out dog treats and recommendations for coffee.

A fire in Shaftesbury was extinguished this evening in premises on Park Walk, Shaftesbury. Seems to have been a tumble drier. Take care folks! #shaftesbury #firesafety

Dear @BBCNews we would like to know why you didn’t cover a major news event in #London yesterday. Between 60-100 THOUSAND people marched at the #RestoreNatureNow. It looks like you are picking what you think is newsworthy. Isn’t that called bias? Regards, British wildlife.
