1 day to go until re-opening!

Posted on May 20, 2012 by admin

The new flooring is down and looks great. We are now getting ready to put back the furniture in the Coffee Bar.  Lucy, Sue, Tilly and Lily are busy cleaning – so much dust!

Jo the joiner is doing the finishing touches to the kitchen, and has virtually ‘lived’ at the bookshop all week! thank you Jo.

Lucy and the girls will be re-stocking the kitchen this afternoon, and the new coffee machine will be fired up. Then the lovely aroma of coffee will be flowing through the bookshop and out into the street to tempt you in.  

We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
