Just a book shop now; used to be so much more
Astley Book Farm的点评
点评：I’ve been coming to Astley book farm for years and years, firstly when my children were toddlers where they’d choose a book followed by a tasty cake at the beautiful little cafe part of this wonderful place. Now they’re university grads, we went along recently with our list of authors to seek out and our top three wedges of lovely home made cakes we were hoping would be on display. Sadly, we were stopped in our tracks when we were told by the person on the desk that the cafe area was no longer there. He then pointed out a cabinet that held a few pre-cut cakes and informed us that there was a machine dispensing drinks where the cafe used to be, next to a scattering of sofas. I really didn’t know what to say as I was quite gutted so a bit dazed, I ordered two of the (small) pre-cut cakes and two paper cup coffees; just under £18 for the pleasure. We’d actually made a 45 minute ‘pilgrimage’ specifically for the old cafe as it was amazing - a real treasure of a place, atmospheric and a great place to flick through your purchases. I know change has to happen but it truly feels like the soul has been ripped out of the place. I don’t know whether it’s new owners or a change in management but I do wish them all the very best with the business as it is a real treasure trove for book lovers but will they get for footfall from book lovers alone for it to succeed, time will tell. I hope so.
翻译：我来阿斯特利书园已经很多年了，第一次是在我的孩子还小的时候，他们会在这个美妙地方漂亮的小咖啡馆里选一本书，然后吃一个美味的蛋糕。现在他们大学毕业了，我们最近也去了，带着我们要找的作家名单和我们希望展出的三块最美味的自制蛋糕。遗憾的是，前台的人告诉我们咖啡馆区域已经不存在了，我们被打断了。然后他指着一个放着几个预切蛋糕的柜子，告诉我们在咖啡馆原来的地方有一台售卖饮料的机器，旁边是一些沙发。我真的不知道该说什么，因为我很伤心，所以有点茫然，我点了两个（小的）预切蛋糕和两杯纸杯咖啡；花了不到 18 英镑。我们特意花了45分钟“朝圣”这家老咖啡馆，因为它太棒了——真是个宝地，氛围浓厚，也是个翻阅书本的好地方。我知道改变是必然的，但感觉这家店的灵魂被抽走了。我不知道是换了老板还是管理层变动，但我真的祝愿他们生意兴隆，因为它是爱书人的宝库。至于光靠爱书人的客流量是否能让它成功，时间会证明一切。我希望如此。
