I wanted to share something a little different this weekend.

Some of my customers live with conditions or disabilities that mean they need extra support when getting out and about. I’ve had quite a few people reach out recently to ask where the nearest places are with proper accessible facilities, and whether it’s manageable for them to visit depending on distance and what’s available.

This week, I spent some lovely time away with my two babies and my husband at Barmston Beach. While we were there, we decided to pop into the local Wetherspoons in Bridlington—because why not?!

Honestly, it completely exceeded expectations. The interior design and architecture were beautiful, with thoughtful touches like stained glass and a library-style wall. But what really stood out was the level of care put into the accessible facilities—from a large changing table and hoist to a spacious room that allows for easy movement with a chair.

It’s not in our local area, but I felt it deserved a special mention. It’s reassuring to know that inside what might seem like an ordinary building, there’s everything someone might need to feel comfortable, supported, and seen… along with a glass of wine or two.

A little sparkle goes a long way ✨

These summer-ready sandals aren’t just about the glam — they’re thoughtfully designed with a moveable centre detail, so as the feet naturally swell throughout the day, the sparkle stays perfectly centred 💫

Handcrafted for comfort, support, and style — because your shoes should adapt to you, not the other way around 👣

Nothing like a good spring clean ✨

With the help of my trusty Hetty Hoover, I’ve given my machine a clean and refresh

All set and ready to get back to creating in a fresh, tidy workspace!

There’s something so satisfying about a clean machine… who else loves a good spring clean?

🍀 A touch of Irish inspiration this St. Patrick’s Day 🍀

There’s something great about seeing craftsmanship meet a bit of festive character — rich greens, subtle gold details, and that unmistakable St. Paddy’s charm.

While this isn’t my work, it’s a lovely reminder that footwear can have personality as well as purpose. What I focus on is bringing that same individuality into fully bespoke orthopaedic shoes — designed around you, your needs, and your style.

Whether you’d go bold like this or prefer something more understated, there’s always room to make your shoes feel a bit more you.

☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️

How many of you remember seeing these growing up?

This is a traditional cobbler’s shoe repair last—a simple but essential tool that’s been used in workshops for generations.

Another day in the shop putting traditional tools and machines to work. When shoes need repairing, sometimes the oldest tools are still the best for the job.

You really can’t beat tradition. And that's Flora's shoes fixed so she can continute enjoying her favourites 😍

Just brought a true piece of craftsmanship!

Machines like this were built to last generations, not seasons. Imagine the boots repaired, the saddles stitched, and the stories this one has already seen.

This is a vintage Singer 29K71 leather patcher — the legendary cobbler’s machine built to stitch places most machines can’t reach. Boots, bags, heavy leather… built for real work.

Decades old, solid cast iron, and now it’s ready for its next chapter.

There’s something special about using tools made with this level of skill and durability.

Old tools. Real craftsmanship. Endless possibilities. 🧵

Happy World Book Day 📚

A day to celebrate the freedom found in stories — the freedom to imagine, to explore, to become anyone you want to be.

Books let us lose ourselves in new worlds, step into different lives, and believe in a little bit of magic (even if the elves only show up on a book cover!).

Here’s to stories, imagination, and the joy of reading 💛
