@SecurityWriter I have been introduced to Turkish tea this year, a revelation and a wonderful new double-decker teapot.
Hello! We are a small independent bookshop in Stow, in the Scottish Borders. We are no longer using Twitter, for obvious reasons, but could use some new followers on Mastodon and other social media channels - where our presence is smaller than on Twitter. Please help / share this is you can! Thank you.
This year has provided a constant reminder that we are all on this planet for a relatively tiny amount of time. And at any point it can all come to a screeching halt with no warning. Give those you love an extra big squeeze whenever you get the opportunity.
