Calm

Have you ever heard of the saying...Keep Calm and Carry On  ?

Wonder where it came from?

The story starts in a bookstore in the UK.  Barter Books. 
I was going to tell the story here, but if you go to their website:
www.barterbooks.co.uk.
they tell it so much better than I could.  Just click on their video right on the front page of their website. 

Indeed, this is somewhere I would love to go on a future trip to England.

    The bookstore is in Alnwick (pronounced "aenik"). Google Alnwick Castle, it is wonderful. I went there with my son. The treehouse and gardens are amazing.
    Definitely on my go back to list!

    Alnwick castle was also the backdrop for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies
