The Jaunty Flaneur..

Toby Wiseman lived up to his name the other day in The Sunday Times Style magazine. He introduced us to The Jaunty Flaneur, a shoe renovation service. I can see you smothering a yawn from here. But listen up, this might be relevant.
Dearest is blessed with piano-playing toes. They have not actually been put to the test but they look capable of tackling Rachmaninoff's Third piano concerto. This makes shoe-wearing problematic, as you may imagine. So when he discovered a shoemaker called Tod he finally found the comfort he'd been looking for, albeit expensively. The only trouble is, that after a year the rubber soles wear down and become treacherous on wet pavements. We have always believed that they were beyond repair. This article, however, gave me hope.
Today I returned from the capital with a pair of fully renovated shoes. This is going to save us a fortune. I am delighted and he will be. So that's Christmas for the old man all stitched up. I just need to find a pair of socks...
What do you say?
