Before he could leave, thinking all was well, it went out again. Right now I'm at Sally's and this has to be quite quick.<br /><br />You have no idea how thrilled I was to see that lovely castle, then read about this old train station in the same town where you can exchange books. It's a fascinating concept, that's for sure. You certainly got some awesome fine art books as a result.<br /><br />It was the perfect time for a nice glass of water, wasn't it? Thanks for sharing your books and your drink with us for T on Tuesday. I again am so sorry I was late getting here.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916044400739264648.post-3931292278841133652016-08-03T15:14:11.358+01:002016-08-03T15:14:11.358+01:00Wow...that castle in the background is beautiful. ...Wow...that castle in the background is beautiful.

We used to have a place like that near us though nothing like as large, I miss it now that it's closed down :-( but I take my old books down to the Lions who hold a book sale on the first Saturday of the month in our town hall - it used to be a trade of 2 in/ 1 out but they ended up with storage problems they had so many! I've picked up some real good ones from them in the past. <br />I hope to find time to go there sometime in the future though as I'm never happier than browsing books lol.<br /><br />Sally xxsallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287900660128774538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916044400739264648.post-37125421504485180662016-08-03T03:03:49.774+01:002016-08-03T03:03:49.774+01:00That bookshop looks so cool.

These books are locked in glass cabinets and are very very expensive.<br />I'm sure they make profits , the Station buffet sells meals and there is coffee and snacks etc for sale as well.<br />Mugs, posters cards tea towels, tourist type of goods are also sold.<br />It is hard to describe the size of the place, so if you should ever get to Alnwick look for the station.<br />Yvonne x Meggymayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523023041456397683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916044400739264648.post-63417595589092161482016-08-02T21:15:04.756+01:002016-08-02T21:15:04.756+01:00Being a book reader and a book lover this would be...Being a book reader and a book lover this would be an amazing place to visit!<br /><br />Happy T-dayKrishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573573810959229149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916044400739264648.post-42504480172625813462016-08-02T18:00:21.359+01:002016-08-02T18:00:21.359+01:00I have been to Alnwick (and learnt how to pronounc...I have been to Alnwick (and learnt how to pronounce it) and I loved it! But I never saw that book shop. I would have spent the day in there had I known. What a great shop! Amazing! I love the trains. If no money changes hands, how do they make a living? It's a good concept though. I think in the future we will all go back to bartering.
