And @likewinterblue.bsky.social is just telling me from the other side of the room that when Jones' family was evacuated to the Lake District during WWII, and met both Ransome and Beatrix Potter. HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS! 🤯 Now she is part of my #LakeDistrictLit

Sunlit main window of Sam Read Bookseller, with three panels with three rows of books facing out, and colourful giant autumn leaves hanging from the ceiling. Sam Read Bookseller in gold letters on the grass. The top row of books at the front is all copies of the company of owls by polly atkin, with a soft toy tawny owl and real leaves in the centre. The fells, trees and sun are reflected in the window too so it looks like the fells is rising behind the books and the owl.
Amazing to see so many new and familiar faces over here. I'll try and be here a bit more.
Meanwhile, here is a lovely window of owls enjoying the sun and actual blue sky this week in #Grasmere.
