Murders and puppet shows… apparently the English have very eclectic tastes.

You know we just can’t resist an elaborate, themed window display… so this time we’ve decked out our entire shop to properly showcase our love affair with books.
The puppets were passionately made by Commediapuppets, and the crafts were affectionately put together by our volunteers. Happy Valentine’s day lovebugs!

Feeling grateful for Royal de Luxe
With all the hardship, pain, and enraging absurdity in the news of late (or should that read ‘always’?), sometimes what you need most is to be reminded that there are people on this planet making great big, intensely moving, awe-inspiring, wondrous things for the sheer joy of it.
Animated marionettes called ‘The Little Girl Giant’ and ‘The Grandmother Giant’ by French street theatre company Royal…
