 The Sleepy Elephant

I just want to visit this bookshop - because of it's name. The Sleepy Elephant ... brill ... and now I'm motivated to go off and write another children's story with a similar title ... The Sleepy Elephant !

Hey, let me know if you've been in this shop ... in Sedberg ... Meanwhile I'll be putting it on my 'To Visit' list.

Loverlee Saturday Mornings ...

What could be better than wandering abound Broadway Market and Bookshops, Hackney on a Saturday morning in Autumn ... ?

Broadway Market Bookstall - Carefully Selected New Titles

What a lovely morning. Warm weather. A rich aroma wafting from the coffee shops. Freshly made sun dried tomato breads, cheesy breads, potato breads, hog roasts, miniature specialist pies and cakes [yes I was feeling rather hungry] specialist balsamic vinegars and olive oils, flowers and an interesting choice of hand made gifts amid a colourful and friendly setting, a musical backdrop [young female musician singing and playing guitar] ... and ... wait for it ... three hypnotic poetry / art / book / shops ... The Broadway Bookshop, Artwords Bookshop and Donlon Books.

Well worth a visit.

Enjoy !
