»I spend my pocket money on buying second-hand books. I love the dry, musty smell of old books, the feeling of the silky paper between my fingers. In any case, the book collection in my room is growing and I think nothing makes a home more homely. Sometimes I feel exhilarated just holding a book in my hands.« (Deborah Crombie in “The Lost Poem”)

A cricket match on the village green, overlooked by a Union Jack fluttering in the breeze next to the war memorial: sometimes the cliches are true.

Toilet is now usually locked but ask a staff member who will unlock it. Still lovely staff and food especially bacon baguette which I had this morning. Seat out front in the sun and plenty of space for bikes.
