Simply..noteworthy....

I use this notebook as a kind of daybook. Part diary, part to-do list, part catch all for numbers and notes-to-self. It came from my favourite stationery shop Paperchase which is rumoured to be closing some of it's branches. Our high streets are going to be different when we finally get back to them....

I first visited Paperchase in London and thought I had landed in Aladdin's cave! Love it and hope it is still there when I get back to the city. Do you have a favourite store you are missing?

Laughs! Shall I just list all the bookshops I know? I used to love going to Topping & Co in Ely, Heffers in Cambridge and Foyles on the Charing Cross Road but, basically, any bookshop or shop where books could be bought. Just browsing surrounded by all those possible other worlds has always been a joy for me. Plus, Foyles has a completely seductive stationery section, and let me not start on the rainbow wall of Leuchterm notebooks in the basement of Heffers.....oh dear!

Ah, Foyles. And bookshops around the British Museum. I think perhaps it’s the cafés I miss most. Especially ones with tables outside... not long now!

It is the charity shops opening again that fills me with joy. Think it is the the treasure hunt aspect I love most of all and the delight when just what you were looking for is there. Hmm, well sometimes it is something I didn't actually know I was looking for.

Those treasures hunt’s sound fun! I am waiting for the charityity ops to open so that I can send them lots of stuff which is pilling up...

Am so very grateful for you, Freda. Have never met you but desire to hug you long and hard. You are my first go-to in morning with coffee. Have had both shots now and flew to see my nephew/son last week. What a sweet connection after the longest painful year without loved ones. I know will be soon for everyone. Keep planting those ethereal flowers for ALL of us🤗.

I do miss coffee shops. Some of them are doing take-away here, but it's not the same.

It takes away the people watching pleasure, or the reading a newspaper or making notes....the bits that remind me this is leisure time.

Freda - if you love stationery do you know the site Choosing Keeping? The store looks lovely and I’ve bought from the website. The presentation is beyond lovely. Definitely one to visit when the world opens up. Currently have a sale...
