It looks really magical, but I do have very magical leanings towards the British countryside - and I thought that the bookstore itself, how it was built in an old train station -- looked like something out of Harry Potter. I love that Harry was filmed nearby! Please go and have cuppa there for me!Christy from fountains of homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130888193737436970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-28360229054026044922016-02-08T11:44:43.909-07:002016-02-08T11:44:43.909-07:00Haha, deal!

It's less than than an hour up the Northumberland Coast from where I live in the North of England! I haven't been for such a long time; I think a trip there & a stop off at Alnwick Castle (where lots of the Harry Potter exteriors were filmed) may be in order for half term.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376335510186391869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-88763772749181745532016-02-07T11:39:48.170-07:002016-02-07T11:39:48.170-07:00That bookstore!

It'll probably be giving up desserts as a family so the kids are getting involved (though of course Sophie's birthday is the day after Ash Wednesday). The book about Frances Chesterton sound really interesting!

And how fun about that sign! <br />Also, whenever I try to be nice and attempt anything remotely crafty with my girls I just end up committing ten sins in the process, so they might be doomed to a home art life of mere crayons and colored pencils forever. :-/Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695179104841318390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-7545255267646898092016-02-05T13:35:39.235-07:002016-02-05T13:35:39.235-07:00You're not alone ...

I know what you mean-there are so many great books and devotions out there, it can be hard to figure out what we should each do! Recently, I was told about the book "A Call to a Deeper Love," which is the love letters of Sts. Louis & Zelie Martin, and on an impulse (because I love them-married saints!) I bought the book. So I'm gonna give that a read this Lent, and I'm pretty excited :) AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.com
