ubereglu Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 We need new bookshelves as well these days - as if we hadn't got enough already Well you can't be as bad as my cousin Lesley. I had to stay in his room when we stayed at my uncle's house-to go to my brother's graduation. You could barely move around his room as it was so full off books, you couldn't even see the walls in most cases! Just walls of books!

Chickpea Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah I got Hugh Eat It All too! I love the River Cottage Books! My parents blame him for the allotment that's sprung up at the bottom of the garden. (Not that they mind really!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
