Everything/Anything and…Chess…"Despite the documented evidence by chess historian HJR Murray, I've always thought that chess was invented by a goddess"–George Koltanowski: from the foreword to:"Women in chess, players of the Modern Age"

Wales

25/06/2007 by Nikita

On our way back from Aber, we planned our journey especially to go through this town! It is a town full of bookshops! Unbelievable! This first photo, is a bookshop in the open, but secondhand books….and they trust you to leave the money in that box! Every second shop in this town is almost about books! Wow…if you’re a booklover like me, this is really the place to be! One bookshop has all the classics…and the books were really expensive, but I spent more than an hour just paging through books in awe… in some shops you can really get books quite cheap…very cheap…but then it’s not really the books you might be interested in…the area is beautiful. We had tea/scones – our favourite – and there were a bunch of old ladies sitting nearby…they all spoke Welsh…as this town is on the border of England and Wales! It’s an English town, but we’ve heard that it’s more Welsh than English….

    When I was young, the newspaper boxes were open and they trusted you to put a dime (which is all it cost back then) in the slot on top. Well, eventually, too many people were taking papers without paying for them and that put an end to the open-ended boxes. Too bad that some people always ruin things for everyone.

    🙂 Yes, pity! A friend of mine that lives in Australia, said that where she lives, there is a farmstall where they take what they need and leave the money in a moneybox!
