Reading Corner.

Reading Corner.
My daughter and I found this lovely cafe called Bean on the Green after watching "The Lost King" in Dorchester's lovely old Plaza cinema. The exterior of the cafe is shown in PiP and if you wondered where the green was, that is also shown in PiP.

Thank you, Rosa! Well it's been a total change of scene - from being the sick one of the family to being the fittest and being catapaulted into a carer type situation almost over night! But it's OK, just very tiring as I'm not really up to full strrngth yet and I have no time to myself. But as they say; 'we are where we are!'

I have always dreamed of creating a similar environment for myself with all the books I have read, unfortunately in vain ....
I like how the light from the table lamp creates a very intimate atmosphere in the room.

Oh, I wish I'd seen this before I drove home yesterday...........I'd have made a short detour into Dorchester and stopped for coffee. I'll definitely be visiting next time we drive down!

What a beautiful little corner...........a book-lovers dream. The lighting is perfect and I love the detail and warm colours you've captured. Looking at the first PiP, you'd never guess such a treat was waiting inside.

The second PiP is lovely...........and full of super detail and the autumn colours are coming along nicely.

Thanks for sharing this Rosa.............great work.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Let me know when you next go that way Keith. We found it by accident, looking for a free parking place, and there were plenty of them a short distance away. It's not right in the town.

Thank you so much for your interest and kind comments.

I will do Rosa. I'm always on the lookout for a decent coffee stop (and free parking)!

A fine interior shot here Rosa. I love the soft warm tones created by the colours of the books and the lovely soft light from the lamp, great light control on your part! I wish my bookcase were as tidy as this one! Quite a find you have made here Rosa, certainly worth a return visit.

Enjoy your day

I could sit here all day looking around this library corner Rosa with a nice cup of coffee and a biscuit to see which books they have in their collection, I would leave it at that of course because with the beautiful sunny weather I want more outside exploring the landscape and getting some fresh air Risa
hoping you did that too because it's not weather to sit inside yet
18 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Sonia Roosen
It would be nice o see you there Sonia! I want to return and also look around the area more.
There was a very nice looking church at the end of the path, so next time! We had been to the cinema, so a walk in the fresh air is good afterwards.

Hi Rosa
I like this picture very much!
It is a very exciting composition, and so many books to look at I am sure there will be lots of philosophy, mathematics, and other good stuff. None of this modern day trashy novels....
We can just imagine sitting there all day having an intelligent conversation...!
Fantastic colours too
Best Wishes, HWW,, and stay safe!!

A beautiful classic. I saw such images in good old days, in magazines and weeklies. No none such existed where I grew up, nor where I am domiciled now!

What a find, dear Rosa!
I wish I could be sitting there, among those books, in such a cosy corner...having a coffee and enjoying the place so much!
A beautiful picture , my friend...the Pips are fine too, but the main image is perfect for book lovers and you must definitely be one! ;-)
