Well done who participated in London 10k!
It makes me so happy to see these kind of news - nobody really thinks about the waste left after the running events and it is so good to see it change! 🙂
Positive Sundays!

Chaos Tuesday!
We’ve had a power cut which has affected over shutter so we aren’t able to open our front door! 😞
Apologies for the inconvenience, the engineers are on the way and hopefully we will open very soon!

And finally this day has come!!!!
I’m very excited to announce that we have a shoe recycling bin in store! 🙂
Instead of just throwing your shoes away, you can bring them to us and we will send it to be reused or recycled so the materials can be used elsewhere!
... Let’s create a more sustainable world 🌍
Happy Saturday!

Good morning,
My grandma started running 5K per day at age 60. She's 93 now, we have no idea where she is! :) :) :)
