THE GRUFFALO!!!
🌈
The Gruffalo will be visiting The Little Bookshop on Saturday, October 1st, between 2-4pm to help us celebrate our 4th Birthday!!!!
🌈
Yes - that’s right - we have been open FOUR YEARS this week!! A great big THANK YOU to all our wonderful friends and customers, many of whom have been with us since we opened our doors back in 2018! Together we have battled Brexit and Covid, and together we will survive the energy crisis and insanely rising prices! We truly value each and every one of you - and the fact that you choose to support us as a local indie business fills us with happiness every day!
🌈
We know we’re not as cheap as shopping online, and we know we can’t complete with the likes of ‘The Big River’ on prices, but we do our best to offer you something extra - a friendly face, time to chat, Saturday Story Time, a great selection of hand-picked books, random local knowledge and occasionally fun-filled gossip, and of course Lou’s epic gift-wrapping (to be fair, she’s still a bit ‘two soups’ - if you know, you know 😆 - but she’s just bought 200 red and white candy canes and some wooden snowmen, so the Xmas wrapping is promising to be fabulous!). We LOVE books, we quite like people, and we tolerate kids - basically we are #LivingTheDream. I’d go so far as to say we are #Blessed even if on occasions Lou is a bit of a #MiseryMoo (BEST. BOOK. EVER) - but she’s working on not tutting at customers who disturb her reading, and refraining from huffing at small children as they dismantle the shop. She’s basically a work in progress and is still looking for her inner Meg Ryan.
🌈
Anyone want to buy a book shop???

WE HAVE THE BEST CUSTOMERS!!!
🌈
(I am aware that a bottle of gin is not usual content for a children’s bookshop - but bear with me!)
🌈
Something lovely happened today 😊
Direct quote from one of my favourite customers and friends - let’s call her Megan, because that’s her name:
“We thought you’d appreciate this more than chicken soup…! Get better soon!”
🌈
Me: Thank you! I have found my people!!!
🌈
Thank you Megan and family for making me laugh and for being so kind and thoughtful, and thank you to everyone who has checked in with me this week. It’s lovely to know The Little Bookshop is at the heart of such a caring community 💜

THE LITTLE BOOKSHOP SATURDAY STORY TIME
🌈
(Yes! We are OPEN!!! With the caveat that if Lou starts to feel rubbish we might close early…!! )
🌈
Saturday Story Time
11.30am @ The Little Bookshop
Perfect for ages 0-99
🌈
We’d love you to join us for a selection of picture books read by our wonderful resident Story Teller, Hazel, from @next_stage_coaching !
🌈
• full disclosure: we have absolutely no idea what we’ll be reading, as haven’t been in the shop all week! But will probably involve a few old favourites, which means that Odd Dog Out by @rbiddulph will most probably feature!
🌈
*Please note: Story Time is NOT a drop-off activity. Parents and careers are kindly requested to stay with their child/ren at all times.
🌈
And for anyone who has read this far (well done!) …EXCITING NEWS…the GRUFFALO will be visiting the shop to celebrate our FOURTH BIRTHDAY next Saturday, October 1st…watch this space for more info later today…!

…Lou is on the mend! She’s not quite ready to run a marathon (ha - the only *marathon Lou is familiar with is of the chocolate variety 😆), and she still can’t play the saxophone (though she does own a beautiful saxophone, and should probably take up lessons again), but she is definitely feeling quite a bit better than she was, and even plans to get dressed into real clothes today!
🌈
And (drum roll…!!!) the shop will be OPEN on SATURDAY, 11-5!!
🌈
*do you remember when Snickers were Marathons?? And Starbursts were Opal Fruits! And Wagon Wheels really were as big as wagon wheels!? And you could buy a whole bag full of ‘penny’ sweets for 10p??? And Dempsey and Makepeace were saving the world! #showingmyage #nearly51

…Lou is still full of a cold, so unfortunately won’t be opening the shop today - sorry!
🌈
(I’d love to say Lou was being a little ray of sunshine while reclining on the sofa looking pale, yet interesting, like a lady in a period drama - but she’s mainly coughing and sniffing, while whinging about blocked sinuses and doing Covid tests on repeat! The glamour knows no end…!!!)

Sorry - The Little Bookshop is closed today!
🌈
Apologies for the inconvenience, but Lou has the lurgy and is feeling somewhat less than average so is doing the sensible thing and staying home!
🌈
* Lou rarely does the sensible thing, so this is quite an achievement!
🌈
The more worrying aspect of this lurgy is that Lou seems to have been afflicted with the somewhat unusual symptom of speaking about herself in the third person!!!
🌈
Pass the paracetamol…
