Tenor Shoes - Scott Hamilton

Scone Shoes

Advantages: comfortable, better fitting shoes at reasonable prices
Disadvantages: limited range, most of them are quite ugly

First let me explain ?scone shoes.? When I first ordered shoes from the Shoe Tailor, experts in wider-fitting shoes, I measured my feet incorrectly and found that the only shoes in their catalogue that would fit me were their widest, ugliest, most orthopaedic, brown, granny shoes: the type you might wear to go out with your friends for a scone, in your later years. Hence my friends groaningly called them my ?scone shoes? and walked several yards behind me on the way to the pub every night. They were very comfy! However, they fell apart after a couple of years of continuous wear, and once gone, same said friends took me shopping to some ?proper? shoe shops in Glasgow and I never once consulted my Shoe Tailor catalogue again. That was about eight years ago, and although I?m not exactly old and doddery yet, I am finding shoes to be ...

Review of The Shoe Tailor

Dancing shoes on

Advantages: well thought out characters and a nice story
Disadvantages: likely to make you cry

I first read Ballet Shoes when I was eight. It was the first of Noel Streatfield's books I'd read, and it remains my favourite. I put it away during my teenage years and forgot about it until Christmas 2007 when I watched the BBC adaptation with Emma Watson. I went to Indonesia and got the film on knock-off DVD, and immediately after watching I rang home to get my parents to order me a copy. It was a great welcome home.

You don't really get any of their story until one day her uncle Matthew arrives home from a trip with a package, containing of all things... a baby! They agree to take the baby and name her Pauline.

Review of Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild

Scotts porage oats

Advantages: A nutricious cereal,economical too
Disadvantages: none

Scott`s porage oats are milled in Cupar,Fife,Scotland and have been since 1888. For as long as I can remember the packet has always had the familiar picture on the front,the poised Highland Shot -putter in the grain field. During the latter part of the 1990`s Scott`s ran a successful advertising campaign featuring the actor Rory McCann.The advert is posted on Youtube if any of you have never seen it. Scott`s oats are rolled thicker and kilned gently to give that individual taste.The oats contain soluble fibre and if they are eaten as part of a healthy diet can lower cholesterol.Oats are also a valuable source of Vitamin B complex,rich in nutrients and help keep blood sugar levels balanced. Porage is a great favourite in our house,but we have different ways of cooking it. My porage is made with half milk,half water,cooked in ...
