It's only a few quid

Steve and I try to support local and floating traders every month.

We spend around £20 to £30 and buy something, sometimes for our selves, sometimes for family.

So far I've bought dog treats from The Doggie Boat.

A takeaway from The Angel, a local pub.

GF brownies from KatieB.



Some plastic free soap and shampoo bars from The Proper Soap company.

Some candles from a local stall that I don't have a pic of as they were for my daughter.
