Well done to the 300 read children - today we visited Tales on Half Moon Lane and chose a lovely pile of new books for our library. Sadly this will be our last visit to this iconic local institution as it is closing down in Herne Hill. Though from September you'll be able to combine a visit with a visit to the beach and a plate of oysters, as they'll be moving to Whitstable.
