Cold outside, but warm inside Two Pears and book store. Treated to poetry by Richard Rice and music at Two Pears.

Correction to the article. Itsy Bitsy bakery has been out of business, sadly for
the last three weeks. We need to have more small shops that provide great
services as they did and Two Pears and the Bistro still do!
