I arrived early, the train delivering me right in the centre of the city, still beautifully quiet at half past nine even on a Saturday (compared to the frenetic hustle and bustle that it became later in the day).

First off, I attended two free workshops for Oxfordshire Arweeks which I am participating in this May for the first time. The afternoon gave me some food for thought about how to market myself and my story to attract people to my art.

Later in the afternoon, I high-tailed it across town to Blackwell’s Bookshop to hear Kiran Millwood-Hargrave read from her new novel, The Mercies, and talk in conversation with friend and fellow-author Daisy Johnson. It was one of those events that was inspiring in every way possible and made me want to get back to my writing and finish the *work in progress*. In a small way it even made me begrudge my sketching life for taking up my writing life. Which is silly as I enjoy them both equally, and let’s face it when I wandered downstairs later to the ground floor of the shop an saw the racks of my prints for sale, the pictures have been earning me more of a small living than my writing.

In response to a question from the audience Kiran talked about how if you want to get published you just need to follow ‘the rules’ of the industry and write the book, then approach agents, and then it will happen. She nodded to the fact that some people of course choose to Indie Publish (as I have done) and that that was of course an option and that there is nothing wrong with that, but it wasn’t for her. And it made me think, that I think I do still have a yearning to be published and supported by the publishing machine.

Kiran’s talk definitely inspired me get on with my writing. Today, with Storm Ciara battering the UK, it was definitely a hibernating kind of day. I got stuck into reading Libby Page’s The 24-Hour Café, partly because it is so good, and partly because I can then delve into The Mercies. Then there is Daisy Johnson’s anthology of short stories, Fen.

Now I just have to put my plan into action. Just have to decide whether or not to re-edit Mr Tumnal again. I still can’t quite decide whether I should keep it set in the fictitious city of Wren Hoe on the edge of the Cotswolds, or adapt it to a full-on, if alternative, Oxford, as that is essentially where it is based. I like the Wren motifs and the play on words with Nowhere, but I’m still wondering if it could be better still for being actual Oxford – if an Oxford with trams, and an Edinburgh-style West End.

My current read topping my immediate To Read Pile†‡.

†My immediate To Read Pile is just the tip of the iceberg to my actual to read pile.

‡This list does not yet include Michelle Harrison’s new novel, A Sprinkle of Sorcery.

The Stripey Badger Bookshop and Cafe is one in the latter category. It was my friend Sarahjayne who told me about this jewel of the dales. If I’m honest I don’ think I’d thought much more about it. Sure, I added it to my map, but Yorkshire is a long way from home and I thought I’d be unlikely to actually visit.

Then two things came about; a friends eighteenth birthday party in Wakefield, and the chance to meet up with another good friend who had recently moved near to Skipton. We’d never visited the Yorkshire Dales before and a long weekend camping near Bolton Abbey seemed . like a sensible thing to do. And Grassington – and the Stripey Badger – suddenly became a whole lot closer.

And I’m so glad it did. Grassington itself is a beautiful little market town in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales, and the Stripey Badger Bookshop & Cafe occupies a commanding three story building at the top of the market square.

It’s actually two shops next to each other – bookshop to one side, and cafe to the other – but you can walk freely between the two.

The bookshop is not overly stocked with titles but what it might lack in quantity it makes up with quality. It is exceptionally well-stocked. I saw many books whilst browsing that interested me, and I did not get tired of browsing (yes, sometimes bookshops can be laid out in such a way as to fatigue the browser!).

We also had lunch their – a poper pot of Yorkshire Tea and a panini. You get table service, but quite cleverly they make you go next door to the bookshop to pay. I bought Geta Thunberg’s No One is Too Small To Make A Difference and John Lewis Stempel’s The Secret Life of the Owl. So I guess their ploy worked!

Most importantly, I will be back.

An ordinary terraced house in a small North Norfolk village. A beautiful if sun-bleached window display of Beatrix Potter and Flower Fairies reveals a visit into a front room piled high, wall to wall , floor to ceiling with books, and a glimpse of a further room beyond.

We are greeted by the 86-year old proprietor, Mrs Shepperd who comes foward to greet us with a cheerful ‘Good afternoon’ as it has just gone noon, and gives us an introduction to the the shop, and where to find things: ‘There is no charge for just looking.’ I warm to Mrs Shepperd.

In the front room it is mostly antiquarian and secondhand, although there a smattering of new books arranged around a central table. In the back room, above – what you might call a front desk, somewhere under more piles of books – a sign declares:

Too many books?
I think what you mean is not enough bookshelves

Too many books?

The books continue around into the hall all the way to the ‘front door’, and all the way up the stairs. Books on the landing are best viewed from the stairs. All the rooms are perfectly categorised . Theatre, plays, sheet music; another for science and engineering; periodicals in another. Some higher shelves are even labeled ‘Not for sale’.

I ask about Edward Ardizzone, and she knows where she typically has them, then picks one straight out ht window display (I don’t know how I could have missed this one!). Browsing another shelf I pluck a Robert Louis Stephenson from the shelf and realise from the unmistakable cover that another Ardizzone has fallen into my hands.

When it comes to paying it’s cash or cheques, although Mrs Shepperd does mention the cash machine at the Coop down the road. At 86 she can’t be into involved in card payments or computerising the stock. It’s all just in her head, and although she might say some of it is forgotten she hasn’t.

Torc Books is a proper bookshop, just like they should be.

My Booklover’s Guide to Bookshops  is primarily a celebration of the independent booksellers, but there are a few shops that deserve to be part of such a celebration even if they are part of a larger chain.

I’ve already taken on the flagship shop of Blackwell’s in Oxford, but I just had to include the Oxford branch of Waterstones, a short distance away at the other end of Broad Street. And here’s why…

It may not have ‘technically’ been a Waterstones at the time (I think it may have still been a Dillons at the time when this took place) when I went into this building of neo-classical architecture in search of a book to give to my Dad for his birthday. The thing is I had forgotten what the book was called and who had written when I went up to the front desk to ask. 

I would have been ‘that nightmare of a customer’ for the poor bookseller, when I went up to them and boldly asked them if they had this book…

Do you have a book – I can’t remember the title, umm, or the author. It’s about the same size and shape as Longitude, but it’s not from that publisher. And it’s about a ship’s cat…

For a moment the bookseller looked understandably perplexed, and had a brief look on the computer, pointlessly before remembering something and going off to another part of the shop and coming back a few minutes later with Caroline Alexander’s Mrs Chippy’s Last Expedition. 

It’s a great book and thank you to the bookshop that found it for me from the most useless of descriptions. And that is why Waterstones Oxford is included in my Booklover’s Guide to Bookshops.
