Tuesday Morning Action

The usual Tuesday morning excitement in the village, engendered by the weekly pop-up café, reaches fever pitch every three weeks when its opening coincides, like today, with the visit of the mobile library; sure enough I found the village hall packed (with nearly ten people) and resounding to the sound of tea cups, cake forks and literary discussion (largely centred on murder mysteries) as the retired gentlefolk, young mums and ladies of leisure mixed in a model of community cohesion.
