2014 shoe casualty




I hate it when bad things happen to good shoes.

I had one of my first big meetings in London for my new job, so I wore my lucky red shoes.  I had a really productive and successful day, so the shoes were my lucky omen. That's until I arrived at Euston Station for the train home and my heel went down a grid, scraping all the patent off the heel right down to the plastic.  No repairs could be made to restore the heel, so they have gone to that great big shoe cupboard in the sky.  So my shoes were lucky for me but not so lucky themselves.  It's my second pair of red heels that haven't lasted a year due to some mishap, my New Years resolution is to find a pair of indestructible red heels to last the distance.

Oh no! That's such a shame. I hate saying goodbye to beloved shoes.
Maybe Father Christmas will replace them? Fingers crossed :)
Hope you have a very merry Christmas!

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

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!.
