Edinburgh - 13/6 - my wife bravely joined me for this evening. A walk in 3" block heeled ankle boots from The George Hotel to Cafe Royal, a favourite bar of ours. Stayed for a couple of hours sat on a bar stool, heels hooked over the rest bar.

Edinburgh - 14/6 - called in to Debenhams where Faith have a sale on. Found some strappy sandals, 5" heel, 1.5" platform which we both agreed looked very nice. Being Faith, there's no return on sale items, so no option but to try them on in the store .

Ashton Under Lyne - 17/6 - arrived at our flat wearing my new sandals from Faith and gave the old lady sitting outside in the sun, cause for surprise. A smile and a friendly hello is so dis-arming though !

After doing some work there, carried on to Tesco Express to buy some lunch;

Dropped a key in to our letting agent - (with hindsight, not sure that was the brightest idea); and

Filled up at the local petrol garage, which has a wonderfully large forecourt and long walk to/from the shop
