  • welcome back! Today we're visiting a tiny bookstore that I find en route to the cottage I've been staying at for the past week - as well as the might-be-haunted-by-slighted-authors book warehouse we found at the same place! My brother and I bravely faced the air inside which seems like it's been poisoned by centuries of rotting book pages and found some books to share with you, I've missed you all and would love to hear what you've been up to or what you're reading! xx
    I also exist in these places

    That warehouse is kinda sad to me. No wonder it feels spooky and has bad air, it's like a collective of people's thoughts bound in paper practically left to rot when books should be handled more and not so... abandoned?
    The nature in this vlog was gorgeous, I'm a little jealous. Must've been so nice. Anyway, belated happy birthday! This was a nice video to see this morning. Best wishes with the move and unpacking everything.

      Yup fr i mean there are many people who love reading books to the point of obsession and would definitely do some sketchy stuff to get those books for free to save bucks especially when the security level of such places is basically non-existent lmao

    I've had the best luck with airing out items like this by putting them out in the hot sun for a long time (like, days and days) - but keep an eye on them, maybe not direct sunlight if fading is an issue.
    . Also putting them inside a bag laying on baking soda, which absorbs the smell. Good luck getting them into a readable state.

    If/when you come to Scotland you should definitely visit Wigtown in Dumfries and Galloway! It is Scotland's national book town and despite being tiny it's full of second hand bookshops- and it has a book festival too! The nearby town Gatehouse of Fleet also has a brilliant bookshop filled floor to ceiling and a little free museum with a cafe that looks out on the river 😊

    My uncle sold the family cottage a few years back and I miss it so much, but this video gave me all the cottage vibes that I've been craving lately. I don't think your cottage is super far from where ours was, so just seeing that clip where you step on to your dock and show the beautiful trees and the sky reflected in the water made me feel like I was back home. Thank you so much

    Oh my.. Be careful as breathing mold spores is not good for your health. Plenty of mushroom growers can tell you that after years of working with fungus you don't get more resilient, you get more sensitive to getting ill from the spores.
    That place needs a good airing out (including a books outdoors in the sunshine setup). Someone needs to clean it up. If I had found it like that in a visit I'm not sure I would have closed the door again. I'd have left it ajar lol.
    Please give your books a thorough wipe down with some ½ diluted methylated spirits, or some other alcohol based product, and a good page airing in the sun with some bicarb dusted between them. Give them some summer heat.
    Shame we can't all teleport over there and give the place a decent book do over..
