Last visit at the bookshops

Well, when I say the last visit, I don't mean my very last, but the last until the new lockdown, which has started on Thursday. So before lockdown, when I went to buy some extra supplies for the days ahead, I stopped briefly at our local independent bookshop and bought one book, then stopped at the outdoorsy secondhand bookshop and bought another book. The second one cost me £1, so it was not much of an investment, but every little helps. I don't know when I will be there again, but I do want the businesses to survive and thrive, so I did my share. And I know I will need lots of books in the coming weeks of lockdown, so it is not a completely selfless gesture. And I know I will miss the bookshops during lockdown.
