Businesses around town www.thefamilygrapevine.co.uk In the spring issue I mentioned that this magazine is also available to view online, & here we are just one issue later with viewing it online being your only option due to the temporary closure of most distribution points. I'll be more careful with what I write in the future... I'm not going to mention the L word, but I will say that as things get going again (I am writing this in early July - how are things now?) it will be even more important to give your support to the businesses based in your local communities, many of whom have been hit extremely hard by being unable to trade for such a long time. Sadly, there are no events, no discount vouchers and no Toddler Timetable listed in this issue, but there are some special offers in individual adverts and you'll find eleven excellent Competitions. Enter online to win prizes, prizes, prizes from our generous and lovely local businesses. As always, many thanks to the advertisers who have placed adverts with the Mid Sussex Family Grapevine this issue. Thanks also go to all NHS staff & all Key Workers who have kept the country going at this scary time. Please do support your local businesses; they are a very hard working bunch and, now more than ever, they would love to hear from you - from a safe distance of course.
