Our July coffee morning


"The chat is so important"... Our July coffee morning at Bàrd Books

 

You might notice in the pictures above an absence of – well – people. That's because this month's coffee morning was so chatty that pictures went by the wayside. It's fitting that words should take centre stage when a coffee morning is at a bookshop, this, a new arrival on the Roman Road.

Heather writes: "Who... remembered the visit to the Para Olympics 2012? Who has a car with an unbelievably low mileage? Who is giving a talk at Tate Britain on Weds at 11.00? Who was off to a shift at Tate Britain? Who dashed from WFH to have a sunshine break? Who remembered the EEWI at the weird Hauser & Wirth immersive 'Community Centre' at St James' Piccadilly? Who recommended Shetlands so highly as a holiday? Who was off to the coast for the weekend? And more!" 

There were recommendations aplenty too: "A lovely morning at Bard, worth a visit for those who didn't make it.  Not just coffee, books as well." "And wine and chocolate!" "I liked the shop and café." "a lovely spot - time for a good natter and catch up with our equally lovely EEWIs! Prices reasonable and the friendly staff had been very helpful with advice on books for different situations. An interesting Community notice board, too. Highly recommend it."

"Join the conversation next time!" Look out for our coming up blogpost for news of our next coffee morning.
