A modest haul this time - at least for me. This trip over to the UK I count as a personal triumph as the elder Wafflette discovered the joys of Charity shop book bargains. I now have a willing accomplice to drag around the high streets. Over here in Belgium you just don't have this kind of outlet (& in any case, English books would be thin on the shelves). So, this time, it was her returning with the carrier bags of books: teen romances (*sigh*) & cupcake recipes - some fifty quid's worth in RRP terms for ten. Plus she discovered the local library where you get to take out even more books for free. How good is that? (So good, in fact, they're closing them up and down the country ... When will people learn?).

Still, we agreed driving home that England does have its good points - at least for the time being.
