Hi Bev,something that in the days of reopening that we are experiencing would not be possible in bars, at least in Italy, where people are invited to stop as little time as possible inside the room to avoid crowding. However, it was a nice surprise for you and Vivian, a coffee with culture, the two very clear perspectives were very beautiful, and it wasn't easy. Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Hello Bev,
A beautifully illustrated presentation of your visit to the Waterstone's bookshop in Oxford.
Life as it should be and hopefully come back again.
Here it is also raining a lot and that is indeed necessary for the garden.
Fortunately, there are plenty of interesting activities indoors.
Have a nice Sunday.
Be careful and stay safe, Rob

Hi Beverley,
Oxford its all about learning, doe's it?
Nice indoor's photo of the library. The picture is clear and distinct in contrasting colors and three ladies students enliven the scene.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Bev,

What an appropriate title for two photographs taken in a bookshop in Oxford! :) And, of course, Waterstones is great in that you can browse some books and have a cup of ta and a bun at the same time. Not so long ago there was an even better place called Borders Books in Glasgow which offered the same service with tea, coffee, cakes, sandwiches and the opportunity to browse books, but also listen to CDs - but unfortunately they failed to make a profit latterly and sadly closed down.

These are two really nice photographs, I suppose of "nothing special" but nonetheless there is so much to look at and examine in both of them. And how nice that you were both able to visit this place with Viviane and Chris too!

And, despite what must have been quite difficult lighting conditions, your photographs are of excellent quality.

Wonderful!

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. We had lots and lots of rain over the last couple of days. A bit drier today but still some intermittent drizzle. :)

Hello Bev,
It's very different...at first glance I thought it was a library till I read your note. I don't mind spending my hours reading or commenting TE or doing nothing at all.....just observing. Tell me, if I'm wrong....the WS photograph an elegant lady with a black dress (flowers print) sitting......could it be you. Just guessing cos she has the hair style like you.
Over here, desperate for rain too....long hours steady rain.
tfs, Loong

Hello Beverley,
My favourite kind of shop. :-) There is even a Waterstone's bookshop in Amsterdam, although luckily my local bookshop, which is only one minute away, has got an excellent selection of English literature as well. I really like the mood of the small cafι as well as the colourful background created by the many books!

Bonjour, chθre Bev,
j' m'aperηois qu'il n'y a pas d'βge pour la lecture, apprendre, se divertir du plus petit au plus grand (confer la chaise de bιbι en atelier).
Une note trθs intιressante et fort bien rιdigιe.
Amitiιs.

Looks very libraryish even if it isn't one. Our libraries reopen next week.
Good indoor photo.

Hi Bev

That's the England way of life, you can read a book and have tea or coffee, some buns.... in a bookshop. I am surprised that nowadays young people come here and don't surf on internet. Quiet moment, distanciation but no sicial one for sure.
We had downpours 10 days ago and flood, but now it's summertime with a temperature of 29°C.
Stay safe
