The Memory

There was a tiny bookshop tucked away on a quiet street near my grandad’s house, the kind you might walk past a hundred times without noticing. But to me, it was a world of its own. Every Saturday, after a morning of running errands, Grandad would take me there, pushing open the heavy wooden door with a soft creak. The moment we stepped inside, the scent wrapped around us—aged pages, warm vanilla, and something deep and familiar, like well-loved leather and a whisper of spice.

Grandad always let me roam free, knowing I’d eventually find my way to my favourite corner—where the tall shelves smelled of patchouli and history, and the books, with their gold-embossed spines, felt like treasures waiting to be discovered. I’d run my fingers along the worn edges of the hardcovers, lifting them to my nose to breathe in that unmistakable scent—soft, powdery paper infused with time, warmed by the slightest trace of vanilla, like the caramelised sugar of the Bakery next door.

He never rushed me. He’d find a chair, settle in with a book of his own, and let me lose myself in the quiet magic of it all. The world outside faded, replaced by rustling pages, the low murmur of another reader at the till, the occasional clink of a teacup from the shopkeeper’s hidden kettle.

Lighting The Book Shop brings it all rushing back—afternoons spent wandering between the shelves, the comforting scent of old stories waiting to be read, the warmth of Grandad’s presence just a few feet away. It’s not just a candle. It’s a doorway back to those perfect, quiet moments—where time slowed, and the only thing that mattered was which book to take home next.
