Places to write – a thank you
I’ve always preferred writing out of the house. This is probably because I’m a terrible housewife and hate mess only slightly less than I hate doing anything about it. Consequently I sit around, wallowing and fuming, being generally distracted. And I have to make my own coffee.
Today I’d like to thank three places I regularly go to to write that suit me perfectly – and may suit you too if you’re in the area. No money or goods have changed hands for these reviews, and they are my own unvarnished opinions. (I will gracefully accept coffees in recompense though…).
I hope you found something useful and beautiful in this list, and remember – use your bookshop. No amount of ‘customers who bought this item also bought this item’ will ever replace a talented bookseller.
PS if anyone’s looking for my Christmas list, these top ten notebooks would do nicely!
Slightly further afield is Caffe Nero’s in Ely. One of my favourite chains anyway, this light and airy cafe offers plugs for your laptop, and also free WiFi -so allows for frequent browsing and writing. Coffee excellent, chairs comfortable, and very close to the lovely Topping & Co Bookshop for browsing if you decide you need to do more research.

Where do you go to write or read? Which establishments would you like to thank?
