Places to read a good book: at the sprucing up of a fine old church, the oldest, in fact, in Whanganui. Dragged up that hill in Gonville by Clydesdales, when a lorry couldn't cope. Books can have history, too, and a huge selection is available at Brooksbooks, 85 Glasgow Street, Whanganui. See you there. My thanks to the guys on the scaffolding for posing for the pic.
