It was good to read about Ginger Pop in Corfe. Sadly now closed down. In the summer I came to Corfe but I missed seeing the wishing chair and visiting the shop to have a natter and buy from a real bookshop.
I have good memories of her museum in Poole too.
I have photographs of the shop and the night we camped in the castle before the Blyton Birthday Festival the next day.
Memories are made of this.

I remember that Pete also created a second thread with my Dorset pics one or two days later, but even when I go to "View your posts", I cannot find it.
