I followed your link home from Rainbow Dreams's (sorry, I'm Canadian) site.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you wrote about this: it's an issue that I've written about previously. If we don't support our local merchants, we'll be paved over by the big box stores that are taking over the landscape. Here in North America, Wal-Mart seems to be rolling over neighborhoods and swallowing everything in its path.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to see folks resisting the trend. I'm so glad I found your blog!<BR/><BR/>All the best!<BR/><BR/>Carmicarmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876613.post-11629414607676927302007-03-07T15:29:00.000+00:002007-03-07T15:29:00.000+00:00I had a wander along the High Street Today and ord...I had a wander along the High Street Today and ordered a book from our independent bookshop. Also bought a djembe CD from independent record shop. Picked up a couple of small books from Waterstones, whom I swore I'd boycott when they opened opposite the other bookshop, but they do have a wider range of books on their shelves.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday I bought some bits in the farm shop, but today I did a big shop in Sainsbury's so I don't need to use the car too much.<BR/><BR/>It's a bit of a juggling act really.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03742282701625568386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876613.post-46706527023487096952007-03-07T10:49:00.000+00:002007-03-07T10:49:00.000+00:00I shopped local today, but not for flowers, for so...I shopped local today, but not for flowers, for some viscious chemicals to pour in my shower.

At the Green at the end of my road I have a chemist, a greengrocer, a butcher's, baker's, a health food shop, a florist (never been in there, looks expensive!), a cobbler, a dry cleaners, a post office, several corner type shops / newsagents, cafes, restaurants, greasy spoons, Turkish bakery, off licence, fish & chippy... And at the other end of the road is an awful lot more again. I barely go in a supermarket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876613.post-10427597162853898642007-03-07T07:18:00.000+00:002007-03-07T07:18:00.000+00:00I am a huge believer in flowers and plantsI'd say ...I am a huge believer in flowers and plants<BR/><BR/>I'd say supporting that local shop is a great lenten discipline<BR/><BR/>also adding that I thik that that the point of llll is not to become legalistic about these tasks - but to do them from the heart and equally importantly to be challenged in our thinking too :)<BR/><BR/>loving following what you write, think and do<BR/><BR/>I'm buying flowers today for someone who's been helping me professionally with some of my struggles (our last appt today) - and I'd planned to do it before I read this.
