Dearest Emily,
We are moving shop- I expect Mummy told you.
Also- it has been raining- A LOT.
Our soon to be old/old shoppe, suited us well as we set out our stall, and tested the water.
Our new old/shoppe is opposite a stream- with a lovely view for us from its big windows...
You may have picked up here Em, that a theme is coming up in my train of thought...
WATER.
Water and books don't mix.
Our new shop, has water running from the tap, and water in a stream across the road.
That'll do us nicely.
Our old shop- had water coming up through the foundations, seeping in through the back-door that was plonked in without any threshold to prevent it. Soaking wet joists rotted and fungus grew on rotting floorboards. Three de-humidifiers changed daily- merely elevated the situation to a dry-rot one.
Enough said.
We slip off down the stream, to our newly refurbished shop- with sound floorboards, and leave our de-humidifiers behind!
See you on the other-side of the Green dear Em,
Your ever-loving Grandmother,
GiGi xxx
