A Book Sale - Wahoo and Whoopee!

 By luck I heard about the book sale at the Suffolk Wildlife Trust site at Lackford Lakes. I am much nearer now than the time we used to drive all the way there from the smallholding..........that was in the days when we were looking for country and farming  books to sell at The Suffolk Smallholders Show.

Lackford Lakes are old gravel pits North West of Bury St Edmunds and belong to the Suffolk Wildlife Trust who own interesting nature reserves all round Suffolk, this is one of two with a visitor centre and all facilities.

 

The books are all donated and most are bird, wildlife and  natural history books but there are a few others. I picked out these below.

 A couple for the grandchildren and two more old Ladybird books - I seem to be inadvertently starting a collection. (The Understanding Maps book was one of my favourite ever Ladybirds). Woodston was a library book I loved last year - nice to have a copy. Also got a book of 100 Christmas poems ready for advent posts this year perhaps. They ask for donations of 50p, £1 or £5 for some of the older special books.

I saw a man who is always at book sales, he once worked for Suffolk County Council Highways and Col would  catch up with him at all the book sales each year. He buys bagfuls  of books and sells on ebay, I said "see you at Colchester in October" - that's the huge charity book sale which is on again this year after Covid.

I didn't stay long because I wanted to get to a place not far away that was having a free open day and I knew it would be very busy.

 Sometime I need to visit and actually walk around the lakes and do a bit of bird watching......one day. 

Back Tomorrow with lots of photos
