NATIONAL BOOK LOVERS DAY 9th AUGUST 2026
Today is the day you start a new book if you are not reading one at the moment. I am starting this one. The Works has its best offer on at the moment: three books for £7.50. Their website is here.

You can find it by our Banksy picture and up from Bella Vita. The space is big enough to show some great art on the walls, which changes so all artists get a chance to show their work.
