The blackberries are nearly over this year, but Shepton Community Bookshop is always a great place to forage! How do you like your blackberries? For me, it's microwaved with custard poured over.

It was a joy to bring my brother Jim into the Shepton Community Bookshop, on his visit from Kwazulu Natal. Have you brought in a visitor from afar? We could make a map with little dots on all the places our visitors have hailed from.

We have been given a large collection of fascinating maps, very large scale, mainly from the 1950’s and 1960’s, showing various areas of town and country across the UK. Mostly in 1:2500 scale, so every tree and house is marked. They are for sale at 50p each or three for £1, because for us, selling cheap and fast works well!. Come in and rummage in the green hopper.
