Back from Y Not Festival ⚡ and instantly packed and sent fresh order to Scrivener’s Books who if you haven’t taken a look at then you should 🥰 I blimmin love working with small businesses, always have. I used to work for River Cottage managing their deli and loved choosing products and working with small businesses and producers. If we don’t support and shout about them then they’ll disappear. How does everyone fancy dropping names of favourite makers and small businesses in the comments so we can all go and follow them? August is a tough month for independents so why not improve that slightly!
