Trip To Thomas Hardys Cottage

My Trip To Thomas Hardy Cottage
Yesterday Sunday the 25th October I went with mum to visit Thomas Hardy s  Cottage the place were he was born and grew up and wrote Far From the Madding Crowd and Under the Greenwood Tree. I am quite Lucky that I live in Dorset as so many great Authors have lived hear in the past Thomas Hardy Being one of them I read Tess of the Durbevilles after watching the BBC adaptation and I loved it early this year I went with mum to see the older version of Far from the madding crowd Film before the new version came out I enjoyed it but boy it was long I like the new version but it left so much out I haven't read Far from the madding crowd yet but I plan to. As a National  Trust property if you are a member you get in for free bonus as I am a national Trust Member. The cottage is sign posted and there is a car park just don't go during the holidays as it gets packed we had to park on the Road. There is a new Visitor center and it has a bit about his life and a really lovely Cafe and a shop any way there is a a walk through the woods to get to the cottage but once you get there boy is it in a really quite and secluded spot perfect for any future Writer and his family I would recommend going in the summer as the Garden would be really lovely to look round but its still charming in the Autumn as you get all the Autumn clours you are even allowed to sit on the beds and chairs in the cottage if you want to. The cottage is small and its a thatched Cottage so if you are tall just a warning you might have a few bumped heads like I did when I bumped my head on the door frame I suggested earlier that you should go when the kids are not at school as you are only aloud 8 people upstairs as the floor Boards are quite old. The Cottage has a proper fire and its is Tiny I could imagine Thomas Hardy growing up there and taking in the surroundings that inspire the landscape of his books its a great visit for any book lover and fan of Thomas Hardys Work I strongly recommend if you have time to Visit Max Gate Thomas Hardys home in dorchester after if you have time I am going to go to Max Gate in the future and if you have even more time i also suggest gong to Clouds hill to visit T.E Lawrence s (Lawrence of Arabia) home as well all in all 10/10 visit and i might make this a thing to visit my favorite classics Authors house during next year if i can :) Next time I will remember my Camera :)

I Love Library's

I love my Libray and recently on Book tube there has been quite a bit of discussion about them. My Libray is like a second home to me I am almost in there once a week or a few times a month. I find going to the library and picking out books a quite fun and social experience I love browsing around the sections of the library and picking up books that I wouldn't normally read and then that feeling of bringing the home and diving in straight away. I love the social aspect of going to the Library as I have Aspergers you meet a lot of interesting people form young and old to bankers to Uni Students its a great way to meet new people and get involved with your community. My local library they send me events that are happening  at library in my town or near me. The great thing about my Library card i don't have to use for one library I can use it in any East Dorset Library and the Same with my Poole Library card I can use it any Poole library no just one thats why I love them my Library card is a key to unlock any adventure I want to explore I love the choice you can have for example you don't have to check out books you check out DVDs and Audio books and you can use the Computers and print things off you can sit and read magazine or just sit and read. The only downside to my library is it closes at 1 one a Tuesday and then all day on Wednesday I wish they had enough funding to stay open every day and for longer if you could give yourself and your children too a gift take them to the Library in the week and go get yourself a card and sign up its free and go see for yourself what your Local Library has to offer lets love our library before its too late as many are closing there door as not enough people are using them which I think is a shame espcally when you are on a budget or can't afford books to buy you can pop into your local Libary and get them for free and if you don't like the boo you can take i back. 
You can watch my book tube video on this subject for a more detailed take on why I love My Library
