Labradoodle

Over on the Games Workshop blog I've just commented on my poor memory. http://cotswoldbookstoregamesworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/

Here we go again.

Who is this Labradoodle?

Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm

Despite enjoying the book Cold Comfort Farm and the 1995 TV series with a stella cast* (couldn't resist it) I have only recently realised that there are other books by the same author, Stella Gibbons, (get it now?).

The perfect gift on the 25th December for fans of this author must be Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm.

I'll read it over the coming weeks and though it seems to lack the 'Starkadders', the eccentrics of the first book, I expect to enjoy it.

I'll let you know.

*(The cast included Eileen Atkins, Stephen Fry, Joanna Lumley, Sir Ian McKellen, Miriam Margolyes and starred Kate Bekinsale as Flora Poste)

Time of Your Life

My daughter Heather and son-in-law Niles will be in charge of our stand at the fun day tomorrow.

On our stand there'll be piles of books, of course, many at special prices plus a sample of our Games Workshop models and paint sets.

My other daughter, Sonia, will also be there with her stand of Forever Living Aloe Vera products and advice.


Both girls are ex-pupils of The Cotswold School where the fun day is being held.

It starts at 2pm and will be opened by Adam Henson accompanied by some of his animals.

Justin Thyme interest?

Interesting. Over the past two weeks, while this computer has been off line, there has been a massive increase in hits for Justin Thyme.

Someone know something I don't? A film perhaps?


Henry Porter is also receiving an increase in hit numbers.

Family Fun Day

The Family Fun Day at Cotswold School next weekend will have, as its star attraction COTSWOLD BOOKSTORE.

(Cotswold Farm park's Adam Henson of Countryfile fame will also be there!)

Yes, we'll have a stand there, with all sorts of terrific books.

This is a fund raising event for both 'The Brain Tumour Charity' and 'Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research'.

Do come along. With Christmas not so far away, there will be bargains to spend your money on.
