Life in a sleepy corner of Tonbridge Old Town....

Work, work, work and more work this week and, unlike most of you, I'm still at it. Yes I'm in my bookshop in a sleepy little corner of Tonbridge Old Town beavering away serving customers, pricing up books and, hopefully, flogging a few. I did manage to finish Lady Chatterley's Lover in between all this work and it's probably among the top ten books I've ever read. Quite apart from the fact that, in reading it, you are reading a part of publishing history with the court case in mind and all the controversy over the book, it is a literary masterpiece. If you want to read about a type of love (mostly physical) defined then you'll be hooked and, even if you don't, the book is a piece of poetry in prose. In a nutshell I liked it, it was a hit and I'm amazed it's taken me all these years to get around to reading it. I've hit a quiet spell in the shop and it's only 11am; has everyone gone away for the weekend? Everyone come back, especially if you got paid yesterday; Tonbridge needs your money more than any other town! Keep the comments coming in; I'm in for an exciting weekend so more on that next time; tell everyone what you're up to....

PS. I like the idea of the castle area of Tonbridge being called Tonbridge Old Town, might be a good marketing ploy if you are listening at the council.... thought not you are all probably off to your holiday homes on the coast by now....
