Adventuring with the family
My family and I love to visit beautiful places. Recently we went to the Vyne, a lovely old house with huge gardens.
The last room had been converted to a second hand book store. There were boxes and boxes of old books; some of them had seen more love than others.
We also discovered the most beautiful blossom tree I've ever seen:
Inside the house there was room after room with rich, colourful decoration and ornate sculptures, intricate paintings and a few lovely pianos and harpsichords too.

“Old books exert a strange fascination for me -
their smell, their feel, their history; wondering
who might have owned them, how they lived,
what they felt.”
