Ahhhhh, the joy of notebooks. I just had a quick count up of how many I can see without getting up from my writing desk - THIRTY SIX. Jeepers. I also totally understand the joy of a bit of unexpected writing time. I woke up at 3am and instead of lying there worrying about who knows what, got up and was met with your lovely Substack in my inbox. HURRAH for the universe! Jx
Awwww! That really made me smile, Jenny. THIRTY SIX just in eyeshot - that is great dedication to the notebook cause, wonder how many you'd have if you'd looked behind you, too?!? And thank you, I am very chuffed that my post hit the spot even at 3am, and seriously now, well done you getting up and at 'em rather than lying in a heap of further non-sleep stress. Hope you managed to be productive and really hope you can catch up at some point during the day...
I was ON FIRE all day - haha! I love notebooks so much I am doing bookbinding courses to make my own. So hard to actually WRITE in one that I have spent hours fiddling around with. Your Substack always brightens my day - good news is good!
I honestly thought it was only me who loves virgin notebooks and has a secret stash of them, hidden away from my"never write anything down if you can type it" tech loving husband, so reassuring!!
And that picture? How totally gorgeous is that shop, I'm absolutely putting that on my "must visit" list :)
Hehe! Definitely not alone, Kate! I have a friend who has so many but most so beautiful, she can't bear to write in them!!!! It is a great shop and the cafe is fabulous, too. We can definitely go there when you next visit - add it to the list :)
Love a notebook, Jackie! :-)
So nice to know I'm not alone, David! Thanks for reading :)

Is there a collective noun for a collector of notebooks, I wonder? 😂
