      The Waterstones in Chester is rather cramped. Not sure about the one in Lincoln. FYI. ;)

      ^ It's Kylie's library . . .

    3. Kylie

      Kylie

      I wonder what happens when the gravity of my library starts pulling against the gravity of Ian's library? Probably a good thing we're on opposite sides of the world.

    4. Devi

      Devi

      I wonder if my library would be a moon going around your library Kylie! lol.

      Ok - slight exageration. It was a "spork" that came with a little supermarket pot of fruit, yoghurt and something called Granola (which used to be called museli back in my day!)
