Visited Salisbury with no particular intention, just to wander and browse, and maybe look at outside furniture with my parents today. Ottakars is such a wonderful bookshop – the kind of place that you really can enter into and browse with no plan of what you want, and come out half an hour, or an hour or more with an armful of books.
I wanted, one or two books to take with me on holiday. I ended up with The Lady and the Unicorn and The Virgin Blue, both by Tracy Chevalier, E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India in a not overly small print edition, and Celia Rees’ award-winning Witch Child. Should keep me quiet… ^__^
Is Salisbury in Wilts or Hants? Saw signs for it on the A34 and realised I’d never been there and I feel like going.
Wiltshire. Just north of the border, and yes, you should. I think it’s one of my favourite cities – small, deeply attractive. You can browse nice shops and pop round the corner to the cathedral close all within a small area.
The Odeon is an interesting sight too – housed in a Tudor Corn Exchange! *grins*
