Successful Shopping!

As some of you may know, today was Small Business Saturday. My amazing Godmother Brunie (yes, I know it's not a Doctor Who name) and I went to a couple of local shops where, as you can imagine, I ended up buying more for myself than for the people I needed to buy Christmas presents …
