We’re well into the summer holidays- for some but there’s no downtime for people like festival workers, ice-cream sellers, soft-play centres, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and of course, us here at Uniform and Leisurewear!
Ready to Break Out for Summer? It’s Just What the Doctor Ordered!
Happy Birthday, NHS! Founded on the 5th July 1948, the NHS has been a lifesaver for millions, and continues to be so (however much we grumble about waiting lists or queueing on the phone for a doctor’s appointment!)
Stella & I would like to tell you of our recent adventure.
Getting outdoors walking is not just good physical exercise but great for the mind, so parents, students and workers remember to take a break every now and then. There is so much to see, and sometimes it’s just wonderful to be outside listening to the birds. If you don’t drive, why not take a walk along the canal, river or to the nearest park, you will be surprised how much better you feel.
I’ve been thinking about work recently- perhaps not surprising as suppliers of tunics, trousers, work and protective wear. How lovely then to bookend this month with Bank Holidays; in fact, the recent May Day coincides in many countries with the celebration of International Workers’ Day.
I’ve just closed the door on our Morecambe shop for the very last time.
Not because the business is declining- in fact, the reverse; so why, I hear you ask? So I thought I’d use this month’s blog to share a peek into the sometimes topsy-turvy world of modern-day retail!
Hello from Stella, UAL Wonderdog!
Like the jet-setting celebrity I am, I delegated winter blog-writing to my “assistant” Vicki (I only jetted as far as Morecambe, but haven’t the starling murmurations been magnificent?).
Sharing the Love
Cold, dark February days can make spring feel a long way off, which is tough for everyone. Seeing generations growing up through the shops, and having my own daughter too, children’s welfare is definitely close to my heart.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As always, Stella’s sat under my desk, patiently waiting for her walk while I pen this latest month of ramblings, but I’m so excited to be heading into our second year of this blog.
After a very sad last half of the year, I’ve decided not to be too hard on myself with this year’s New Year’s Resolutions! (In other words, they don’t involve giving up chocolate or squeezing into Lycra).
How are we in December already, the year is whizzing by? My friends have said it feels like they’ve only just dropped offspring off at university, and they’ll soon be back for the holidays, with mountains of washing and raids on the fridge!
Reflecting on November
The clocks have gone back, the afternoons are suddenly dark and it really does feel like winter’s here already.
No, not Christmas- Halloween! Don’t come to me with any complaints about it being an American holiday- yes, they sent it stratospheric (and I approve- imagine New Orleans on October 31st, my ideal party!), but Halloween dates back on these very islands to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, over 2,000 years ago.
New term, new website, new no-stress resolutions.
Hi, Vicki back on the blog again (and wondering why there are dog hairs on the keyboard? Would you know anything about that, Stella?)
How’s your September going?
