Big Feet and Socks

My name is Shelley Munro and I have big feet. Over the years I've become used to my big feet--after all, I'm atached to them. I've found a great shoe shop that caters for women with big feet. It's all good, or so you'd think. My problem comes with socks. My husband...

Why Didn’t Someone Warn Me….

...that a person uses different muscles climbing up and down mountains to when they cycle, walk and run? OR: ...to take better care of my big toe - the same toe that I injured while ice skating when I was in my teens, the same toe the Goal Attack or Goal Shoot managed...

Can You Swim?

When I was a kid, the school I attended had a swimming pool and each summer we had swimming lessons as part of our school day. I can swim. It's not my favorite thing to do, but if I fell into water, I'd have a good chance of saving myself because of those lessons....
