Without our crystal ball, we have no idea what things will look like come December and small businesses live and die on Q4 sales. If there is a small independent business you love and you'd like to see them still in business in 2021 - consider starting your shopping early so they can get those sales even if they have to continue to limit the number of people in their shops going into the holiday season. #shoplocal #putyourmoneywhereyourhouseis #indieshops #economybuilders

Remember - October is the new December. From The Guardian: "Bennett is a gifted storyteller. This generous, humane novel has many merits, not least its engrossing plot and richly detailed settings, from smoky small-town diners to gleaming laboratories...the novel proves to be a timely testament to the redemptive powers of community, connection and looking beyond the self."
