Blake Head, Bleak House


This may be the Last Post for this establishment;  I called here yesterday to enjoy a quiet ten minutes and an espresso before a wedding, only to find the place abandoned and a handwritten note attached to the door informing enquirers of its closure. It is apparently one of three such establishments in the vicinity to have folded since the beginning of the year.

    Ah well, you'll just have to get used to e-books. Or so they say.

    That's unfortunate. It looks inviting from the storefront.

    Oh no - is that the bookshop with the amazing cafe that does fantastic veggie food? I really hope not.

    How sad. I think bookshops are really struggling.

    Very disappointing to learn about the closure of such a cozy book store and cafe'!
    Nice to catch up on your blog this evening

    So sorry. I wonder who will get the place. The entrance looks so rich in history and knowledge.
