The Real England is a concise, direct, and not-so-gentle window into the depths of the leftovers of the world’s once greatest empire. It is told from the perspective of one lone (or not so lone) long term visitor. It informs one of the dregs of the country and helps to explain quaint British oddities such as the crack addicted chav.

It looks fabulous! I’ve seen the steps in a staircase to look like book backs, but that’s a fab one.

Isn’t it just! There was a church in Fulham/Kensington that was being converted into flats, I think, and the developer had been very enterprising with the surrounding cover as it was painted as book spines and looked brilliant. No scaffolding in sight.

I don’t have a garden of my own in London – however I could paint the steps outside leading to my flat….now that would be a joyful thing for me and the other residents:) xxx

What a fantastic idea. I have a set of three steps in my garden where this would look perfect. I can find the bricks but I’d need someone to paint them as I’m totally useless at this kind of thing.

Do it, do it! And when you’ve found that someone, post photos of the result.

A great idea – now to persuade hubby to let me use some of the old bricks he’s been hanging on to… just in case they become useful. Well, I think this is ‘useful’!! Jx. PS: Hope you’re okay

Photograph some of your books, print them out, wrap round and then outdoor varnish? My ideas never quite work, though, although when my fingers were better I used to do hard-working coasters with ceramic tiles this way!

You’re bound to find a method looking on Pinterest. In fact, I think that’s where Gigi found the idea originally.

Love it Sarah. Here is to a new trend, an outside library (of sorts, lol) as an entertaining area!

It is an unusual idea indeed, and works very well. Trouble is, if we all start doing it, it will soon become passe, and sold as a kit by Homebase!
Best wishes, Pete. x
