Walking South from the Cook Book – what a wonderful place to live and work

It has been a busy month
Half term, a lot of walkers, sunshine, showers, prolonged rain, too much wind – and so many old friends and new coming into The Cook Book. It is always good when we’re busy, such a buzz of conversation out front and well-organised action from the moment your order is taken until it is placed in front of you.
Spilling the beans!!!
There are the odd exceptions:
(Don’t ask David to move the grinder, especially when the place is full…..)
Weight and Flight
On 9th June Angela Stoner and Claudia Hoffman took their audience on a journey through words and music.
33 people packed into the Cook Book, stripped of tables and converted to a theatre, for a fabulous evening of Angela’s poetry interpreted by Claudia on a range of instruments including the Celtic Harp, violin, tree harp and singing bowl.

At the end of the day, there is always much else to be done, but it’s not always hard work…. babysitting!
Bosorne Books
Philippa in her usual perch, pricing books, Aggie helping
Bosorne Books is now being managed by Philippa and, as you will notice, she’s got the book shop very well organised.
Philippa is now responsible for the buying as well as the selling. She and David still work together on the more unusual and expensive books, and David does the collecting of books from people’s homes as that is often very heavy work.
The main reason for the change is that Philippa knows a great deal about books and, with David cooking five days a week, he doesn’t have the time he used to.
