Hello lovely people of Bluesky! My name's Michelle and I'm the owner of B For Butterfly Books, a small independent bookshop based in Sale, Greater Manchester. I'm hoping this will be my 'forever-social-media-home' after lots of channel-hopping 😁

Here’s one. @bforbutterflybooks.bsky.social is a perfect little bookshop shop right near Brooklands tram stop in Sale. It also, and I cannot stress this enough, smells great.

An emotional event last night as we discussed SAFFIE with @davidcollinsnews.bsky.social

Saffie was the youngest victim of the Manchester Arena Terror Attack and this is her story told in conjunction with her parents Andrew and Lisa.

A story of how we can all find light in the darkest of times.
