Open Book Wigtown

It’s nearly time for #Wigtown Riding of the Marches - from 12pm, don’t be late! 🕰️ The 🌧️ may be here but just bring your ☔️ and enjoy! There will be plenty of lovely shops open, like we are, so you can warm up. Do pop in and say hi if you’re around! 👋 #Scotland

📚✨Hola, we’re Stephy and Gary! We’ve been having the most amazing time as being the new booksellers at #TheOpenBook this week, 17th - 23rd July 2023. #Wigtown #Scotland

Beautiful day in Wigtown. Lovely muddy walk and we saw a red kite, shelducks and pink footed geese. Come and see the beautifully dressed windows at The Open Book.

Only 2 more days in magic-town... Thank you all for the kindness, hospitality and amazing shortbread. Please come by tomorrow evening, 6pm to The Open Book for wine, nibbles and book chatter - I can wax not very lyrical for hours about crab fishermen in Cromer …..

My first ever blog … (don’t think I’m much of a bloggy person) - thought I’d tell you what I’ve learned since coming to the fabulous Open Book in Wigtown: As soon as you cross the border into Scotland, banks of snowdrops appear everywhere -on the... tmblr.co/ZPYeXl2nn9fDy

Good morning Wigtown! It's great to be here, everything I'd hoped for - and much more - THANK YOU for being so lovely and welcoming, and do stop by again or if you haven't been before - can't wait to meet you😃

You will awaken here - Three years ago my daughter and I read an article about The Open Book -that it was wonderful and magical to be in Wigtown and run a book store for a week or two. Then there was the challenge, the article said it was nearly... tmblr.co/ZPYeXl2nMDQjr

See you later, Wigtown - this is definitely not goodbye. We’re passing the baton. New booksellers are but hours away!

Golden Eagle episode done! Winging it’s way to you soon. 🌳DO🌳

Thank you Wigtown. Thank you Dr Cat. Thank you @David_Oakes. Thank you @BethanyPorter1. What a way to finish the week.

Fear not the rain, Wigtown! We are open tonight for eagle chat with @TreesACrowdpod Come along for a glass of wine and a bucket full of knowledge.

📷 Oh Wigtown, how can we say goodbye? As we start to pack ourselves up, I am comforted by the idea that some unnamed kindred spirits will be arriving tomorrow and taking up the mantle - pulling down all our hero quotes and ‘KAPOW'signs and... tmblr.co/ZPYeXl2n7fscB

The eagle has landed! @David_Oakes is here and is already checking out our bird-based stock. Join him and us tomorrow at 6.30 for the @TreesACrowdpod podcast on golden eagles!

Doors closing on day 4. Sold more books to fewer visitors. Are we becoming better booksellers? Come back for day 5, our @TreesACrowdpod recording, and our ongoing mission to bring some Dirk Pitt into your life.

Need a break from the family? Time to tackle financial worries? For escapism and independence, look no further than our new recommended Romance, Royals and Remuneration display, new for day four.

Absolutely smashed yesterday's record by selling FOUR books. We are obviously amazing at this. See you tomorrow, Wigtown. Dare we aim for five???

📷 Thank you, Gods of Wigtown, for a break in the rain this morning and a chance to see the Bay in all its glory. Is it already day three? Wigtown time is certainly that magical kind that is lazily slow and quantum fast all at once. Yesterday... tmblr.co/ZPYeXl2n5AzRx

Good morning, and what a beautiful morning it is too. After a brisk walk (many good dogs met) we are open for day three. Don’t forget, THE EAGLES ARE COMING, for a live recording of @TreesACrowdpod this Friday.

Mad scenes in the shop this afternoon as we sold THREE WHOLE BOOKS. To celebrate, we're opening a little bit later tomorrow, so we can go for a walk while the rain is supposed to hold off.

First sale of the week! Fantasy epic to an outdoorsman. I guess your mind can take you places your feet can’t after all.
