My kitty is a little orange shorthair named Peanut (but we call her Peanut Butter most of the time - she's too soft to be a Peanut!)Susan Fieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433408456603462774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-37435726408187138562010-05-17T11:53:18.572+01:002010-05-17T11:53:18.572+01:00Priya – Glad you like them.

And there will be good news on the wip soon!<br /><br />Julie – Oh it was, it was!<br /><br />Shannon – If I emerge dusty, I emerge happy. :)<br /><br />Pamela – The best secondhand bookshops have pets!<br /><br />Fran – Mine too!<br /><br />Donna – Hee! I love the way all writers drool at these pics.<br /><br />Anne – Me too! I only emerge for cake.<br /><br />Amy – Thank you! Think it might be a fun project – I think I will need a few weeks doing something completely different before I tackle the next writing project.<br /><br />Plain Jane – I can see the positives of Kindles, but nothing beats the tangible weight of a book in my hand.<br /><br />Laura – My knowledge of London is mainly guided by where to find the best second-hand bookshops. The Borrowers is a lovely tale, I am just discovering it for the first time. So many books I missed as a kiddie!<br /><br />Eliza – Thank you. And it was!<br /><br />Steve – How kind, thanks.<br /><br />Palindrome – I love the description of how you and your feller split up in second-hand bookshops. Fiction and horror eh? I adore Stephen King – have shelves full of his books. James Herbert used to be another I read (The Fog, I think it was, if I have the names right!). I mainly wander fiction, children’s, random ephemera, and social history.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-86330054566849677822010-05-17T11:52:18.941+01:002010-05-17T11:52:18.941+01:00Paul – Over here we call them ‘car-boot’ sales, we...Paul – Over here we call them ‘car-boot’ sales, we don’t often get people selling things in their gardens/yards, but I like them too for the sheer range of Stuff people rock up with! Thanks for the cat compliments. :)<br /><br />Alex – I think I am happiest when given a musty old box to rummage through to discover treasures! The cats are darlings, aren’t they? Thanks for saying nice things about my plane pics!<br /><br />Mise – It’s the only criteria I follow! I have decided the only reason I do not currently own a car is because I haven’t found the right wicker picnic basket.<br /> <br />Carole – Is it sacrilege to say I haven’t yet made it to Hay-on-Wye? I feel like I cannot be a proper writer without that pilgrimage! One day. Next year will be the year of literary festivals, I have decided!<br /><br />Talli – Aw thank you!<br /><br />Lydia – I feel like a proud cat mother!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-45341949970378220122010-05-17T11:51:25.371+01:002010-05-17T11:51:25.371+01:00Wendy – A good second-hand bookshop should always ...Wendy – A good second-hand bookshop should always be a bit dusty, I think. And the cats purred thank you!<br /><br />Kittie – Love that description – a unique scent that warms the soul. I am a confirmed book sniffer! And the cats meowed thank you back!<br /><br />Aubrie – I love airshows! My fave planes to see are the old war birds. I’m sure you’ll have a fab time! And thank you for the cat compliment; they make me very happy indeed.<br /><br />Joanne – The best secondhand book shops have a pet lounging around, and you nearly always trip over someone crouching intent on the lowest shelf.<br /><br />Old Kitty – Aw thank you for the cat compliments! They do have gorgeous faces, don’t they? I am completely soppy over them! I hide it well. ;)<br /><br />Crystal – Aw I bet you miss your kitty. Thank you for the compliments on the photos!<br /><br />Happy Frog – Hee! That did make me smile. :)<br /><br />Wendy – Owned by two cats – oh absolutely. They know which side their bread is buttered, that’s for sure.

We both enter and disappear in separate corners. I dive into fiction and horror. He wanders all the non-fiction sections. Then we pool our purchases together and chastise ourselves for spending too much money. I love it. :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915603693944523761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-56760560570643576832010-05-14T23:47:32.159+01:002010-05-14T23:47:32.159+01:00you are invited to follow my blogyou are invited to follow my blogSteve Finnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041851737677873347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-7219146947645949732010-05-14T03:33:53.592+01:002010-05-14T03:33:53.592+01:00Beautiful cats, and the bookshop looks interesting...Beautiful cats, and the bookshop looks interesting :-)Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810638337124194629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-80133623598457776482010-05-14T02:00:53.291+01:002010-05-14T02:00:53.291+01:00Oh, I'm super jealous of you in that secondhan...Oh, I'm super jealous of you in that secondhand bookshop!
