Shoe of the week

I'd be up for the challenge of wearing this for the whole of the Jubilee year

My intention was to research pastel shoes as I'd spotted a pair of flats that I thought would be perfect for Shoe of the Week.   Unfortunately, these shoes from Schuh grabbed my attention first.  Now, these are perfect for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year. 

I'm not really sure how or if I'll be celebrating the Queen's jubilee but I can remember that I celebrated her Silver Jubilee weekend in 1977 (I was five) wearing a red, white and blue homemade dress at a school party, then attended a fancy dress street party the following day.  For her Golden Jubilee, I spent the afternoon in a bar enjoying 50p drinks while watching the big procession in London when Jimmy Savile was wowing the crowds in his trademark tracksuit.  For the 2012 celebrations, I think I'd like to participate in a proper English afternoon tea with champagne to celebrate the Queen's special year, wearing these shoes and maybe a grown up version of the red, white and blue dress.  Are you making plans to celebrate?

Great excuse to buy those shoes! I remember the jubilee street parties back in 1977, we were allowed to wear red, white and blue instead of school uniform and got a mug and an enamel badge. x
PS I didn't know Opie was English. Jax is, he was in Byker Grive!

Hi lovely,
Thanks for you comment. I have all of Bernadette Strachen's books apart from one called 'why do we have to live with men?'...if you happen to have that one?

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

Image
A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.
