A good man

Gladstone's Library

Last week Partner-who-loves-tea and I went to Hawarden in N Wales to visit Gladstone's Library and use the reading room.  Gladstone's Library is a private library and charity of which we are both proud to be members since the facilities it offers are superb.

The building is attractive outside and in particular the reading room inside is beautiful.

The light of knowledge is here shining out of one of the reading room windows.

There is a cafe facility in the building called 'Food for Thought'  and there are bedrooms available both for those attending workshops and those simply wanting to be in a peaceful atmosphere.

The Faerie Grove - Copyright 2008 Howard David Johnson

I have hundreds of pictures stored on my computer - some of them are anonymous but I'm glad to say I know who created this one -  Howard David Johnson.

 I don't think you could find a better representation of a faerie grove no matter how hard you looked.  And as I said last August, everyone should believe in Fairies and Mermaids, Pixie Dust and Grimoires, Snail Mail and La Fee Verte, and Unicorns and Dragons...
