Thank you for sharing your world with us. What fun! Didn't you want to just sit down and start opening drawers and poking around in the contents? I had to go through your pictures at least 3 times to be satisfied that I'd seen as much as I could. Thanks for the ramble through magical places.Trailshomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091315786366864065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-36703630805077102912012-09-18T16:56:48.149+01:002012-09-18T16:56:48.149+01:00Sue and I feel quite left out of this fabulous vis...Sue and I feel quite left out of this fabulous visit, Gretel.

How is it possible that the interior of that building is larger than its exterior?<br /><br />I do envy your trip there and the opportunity to actually have a tour. Of course, I am sure that Graham was delighted to have enthusiasts like you and Andy visiting. The atmosphere must have been amazing.<br /><br />I absolutely agree that the price of the upcoming publication seems actually too reasonable. But it's hard to put a price on love.<br /><br />The marmalade jar and its splendid label make me smile. Your and your marmalade!<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-15595788744509487732012-09-18T09:52:54.143+01:002012-09-18T09:52:54.143+01:00I never knew this place existed! what a place, I c...I never knew this place existed! what a place, I can imagine you were in 7th heaven and didn't know where to look first.

I 'did' typography at college in Manchester and learned to set type - back in the day when no print union would ever entertain emloying a woman - so my studies were a bit in theory only. Could still 'diss' a galley of type though and put all those little lead letters back into their homes in the type tray.mountainearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977393968796316843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1209483692284678102012-09-17T17:05:43.278+01:002012-09-17T17:05:43.278+01:00Knowing your love of letterpress, I can just imagi...Knowing your love of letterpress, I can just imagine you there, like a child in a sweetie shop.
