Saturday 17th November

Had treatment. Went to see Mr Carlton-Hayes. He was sitting in a wheelchair and told me that, although he was out of pain, the operation had not been a total success in that he now has difficulty walking.

I said that we would have to build some ramps so that he could access the bookshop.

He put his hand on mine and said, very gently, ‘My dear, I’m terribly sorry, but I fear the bookshop will have to close. We are not making any money from it. Leslie and I are struggling to make ends meet. We have used up all our savings and the bank has declined to make us a loan.’

I could not speak. Daisy and I have to find at least £600 a month to cover the mortgage, council tax, water, gas and electricity. But most shocking of all was the thought that I would not see Mr Carlton-Hayes on a daily basis.
