I’ve now found and given Eleanor a follow on IG. It makes me want to illustrate my own local independent shop heros. And yes, can’t imagine what pressure pharmacies have felt these last few weeks. :o(

Congratulations on this very beautiful book. Our small neighbourhood shops are going to need championing more than ever in the months ahead.

I always enjoy going into a good chemist, one that sells everything from asprin to toothpaste to lipstick. Sadly our local chemist has transformed into a pharmacy which sells mostly medical supplies with minimal extras such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo etc. As it’s a small rural town access to the extras is missed

Long may they (and the chemists!) continue.
