Getting kids dressed for summer
A glorious British summer is just around the corner (we hope). What with the prospect of some sunshine, enjoying ice creams in the park and trips out to the seaside, there also comes the stress of dressing kids for summer….
Shoe laces – a big mistake
N’s feet have finally grown. His school shoes still fit ok but he needed new trainers which are always harder to buy. His insteps aren’t particularly high, he’s an F fitting, but velcro fastenings never seem long enough on trainers…
