On the. Subject of shoes, I travelled down to Shoe Healers in Doncaster yesterday, bit of an Aladdins cave for better quality shoes . Crockett and Jones, Church, Barker, Cheyney , Saunder, Loake just to name a few and the service was excellent. Free shoes trees, polish, cloth, bag and a decent discount given though not asked for.

And yes, they have a very good website.

Good shoes are an investment. This picture of my Tricker
double soled brogues was taken when the shoes were about twenty five years old, ten years on, they are still a pleasure to wear, and look amazing. Worn better then the wearer that's for sure.


If you are ever visiting Manchester, could I suggest that you telephone me for some advice; it falls somewhere between fashion and personal safety.
