Who'd have thought it? But despite the temptation to de-camp to a Wye-side cafe, stock-recording must go on... look out for new Rupert, Transport, Topography and School Story collections!
Stained Glass contributed by Lorna

I like stained glass and I've always wanted to have a go at making something out of it. So when I saw a course advertised locally, which was spread over 3.5 days and involved designing and making a stained glass panel, I jumped at the opportunity and eagerly booked a place.

A Tour of the Dove and Manifold Valleys contributed by Rosemary
This signed limited edition copy, illustrated by Edward Roper F.R.G.S. and published in 1894, called to me on two levels as I wandered the aisles of our Special Book Room.
