There is nothing better than sifting through the shelves of your favourite Boarders, Books etc. or Waterstones bookshop and buying a one of those novels that you just can't put down. Though be warned, you may find it hard to walk out the door without sinking your teeth into some juicy gossip found in the magazine section of these supermarket sized stores. Britain is also full of fantastic second hand bookshops where you can discover a pre- loved gem. Specialty genre book, DVD and video stores are also becoming popular and popping up in all major British cities. Better still, every major city and town centre in the UK has an extensive collection of literature in its local library. Be it research in book collections that go back hundreds of years or just browsing at your leisure there is a wealth of choice (and this is all for free!). |
| We all know about the rainy days. Time in doors may as well be spent doing something fun or maybe that hobby you never get enough time for. Perhaps you always fancied yourself as a bit of a photographer or filmmaker? Digital equipment and photo development are cheaper and becoming far more accessible than ever. The average punter can achieve professional quality prints and images, even shoot a short film or DVD all in the comfort of you their home. Edit the home videos or DVD's of your children’s first steps or set up your very own Big Brother in the lounge room. |
