Hungerford Arcade recently had its own J R Hartley moment. (Those of us of a certain age will remember the advert where a gentlemen was phoning bookshops trying to find a copy of Fly Fishing by J R Hartley). We were delighted to meet Lesley Herbert, who found a copy of her book “The Ultimate Book of Wedding Cakes” in the bookshop (unit 27) and commented that she guessed it made her officially an antique! She is a lovely lady, who was a catering lecturer for many years in London and currently judges sugarcraft with the English team. She kindly autographed the book with her best wishes for the person who buys it.
