Wow - a second hand book shop sounds like heaven!

There's a wonderful place in Alnwick called Barter Books and it is the largest second hand book shop in Europe. Mark would love it. The owners have bought the old station and converted it. There are also a couple of steam engines in there being "done up" and you just pour yourself fresh coffee and read - all day if you wish! It's the best place in the world for people who like second hand book shops. There are miles of shelves (no kidding) We usually come home with a couple of hundred or so books!!!

Lots of love

I can vouch for Barter Books, and if any dog-owners are visiting Alnwick, Barter Books are very dog-friendly : there are doggy water bowls at various points in the old station. Flynn likes to curl up in front of the fire if we go in winter.

Hi Lyn

Re the Lost Daughter - I would give it another go, at first you wonder where it's going, but once you get into it, it's enthralling. I bought it and wome others from Amazon, and I read the reviews before I bought them. The other one I bought was the Red Velvet Turnshoe, but I found that a bit harder to follow. I think I lost the plot along the way!
