A trip to stock up on wine takes us past two sources of second hand books . Such is the location of both that the " top ten "paperbacks are sought after . The rest changes regularly and is largely untouched except by the happy few .
Today biographies of Katherine Mansfield and William Morris . A book of Ardizone sketches plus some poetry : Plath , Hughes , Larkin and Wendy Cope . I think I like the Larkin and the illustrations best but the biographies will sit and wait for the right moment .
A fat slice of red velvet cake and a steaming pint mug of strong tea each when we returned .
Wine shops and used book stores are 2 of my favorite places. It is easy to spend time at both. The red velvet cake with tea sounds perfect and especially nice on an Autumn day.
