Julian, head honcho at Fine Records in Hove , was quite surprised to see me pop into the shop yesterday afternoon I had deliberately left off from my blog that i would be down for the day as i know he will be reading, and will probably have a wry smile if he has read this.  I took some CD's with me to exchange.as iI wanted to get another Alan Hovhaness CD - so i received this one in exchange -



Then i caught a bus to the Brighton end of the city and discovered this charity shop in North Street.

It is run by the same people who run the Ashford shop in Kent. You can pick up three books for free per day. It is run by Healthy Planet. I picked up these -






The book on the evacuation of children in the UK during World war ii is a hardback, the other two are paperbacks. I was well pleased.

Then it was time to get the slow haul back to Kent via the 29X bus to Tunbridge Wells, a 77 bus to Tonbridge, a train journey from there to Maidstone, a 101 bus to Chatham , and finally a train home. Convoluted journey, perhaps, but made enjoyable  by the fact that i had free books, a Nexus tablet, and full of good cheer.

No Time To Wave Goodbye sounds like a good book.
YAY for free books. :)
WOW, talk about a journey to get home. :p
Hugs, Jon

The journey wasn't too bad , but at that time of night there are few bus routes.

That's a really nice little selection of his shorter pieces!

Look out for 'Avak the Healer' which is my ultimate favourite of his work.

The evacuee book sounds particularly interesting.

Next time I'm in North Street I shall take a look in that charity shop. Is it next to Holland and Barratt?
