Book shops, especially the small independents, are important gems on our high streets. Places of serendipity and discovery to be valued. Support them if you can.

It’s #IndieBookshopWeek! 📚💗

This year, we’re proud to be twinning with #Bookhaus, a fiercely independent bookshop in the heart of #Bristol.

It's #independentbookshopweek! I have a couple of t-shirts which come out at this time of year, and here is one :)
If you live near an independent bookshop, please pop in and give them some business - it's tough. Any purchase at all will be much appreciated!

She is in a garden and there is flowery bunting behind her.
