Farewell to Borders

Yesterday morning we walked from Coy Pond through Bournemouth Gardens into the town for what will probably be our last visit to Borders. The bookstore is in Administration and there is a massive sale of all the stock. Mark bought some CDs and I bought three books, a couple by Osho (Maturity and Body Mind Balancing) and The Philosopher and the Wolf by Mark Rowlands which looks pretty unputdownable. We bumped into several friends in the store.


It will be sad to see the end of Borders. I feel sorry for the staff of the store and Starbucks which will also have to close. For me there will be no real reason to go to Bournemouth to shop any more. There is a Waterstones in the town but it's selection of books in topics that interest me is definitely inferior or non-existent.
