Last Post....

Well that's it then my friends. Tonbridge Blog is off. Someone has just left a very valuable book on my doorstep and I'm off straight to Sotherby's auction house. It's actually a copy of a book I've only ever dreamt about before. I never thought I'd see a copy let alone own one. It's the First Folio of Shakespeare's works and I can hardly contain myself. If it's the real thing, and I'm 99.9% certain it is then it will fetch between £10 and £15 million. Unbelieveable! A just reward for all that hard work I've done over the past seven years shifting books around, moving them in and out of the shop, getting up at 6am on a Sunday to do book fairs. Working every Saturday for the last six years, being an unofficial tourist information office. Well, no more, it's the high life for Mr. Books now. Off he goes into the sunset with a glass of champagne in his hand. See you all then everyone. This will be the last ever post on TBlog....

Yes if only - Happy April Fools.
It really has been very difficult distinguishing the April Fools news from the real news today and I suppose that is a reflection on how crazy society is today as a whole, and the tosh the media come up with on a daily basis. Have a good one and don't get caught out.
