Which just so happens to be Florence Nightingale’s birthday - one of the most famous nurses in the world.

So if you have a friend or relative who is a hard working nurse, or even if you have been in hospital yourself recently and want to say ‘Thank You’, then what better way than to send a card or a bunch of flowers on Nurse’s Day.

Hope you received your card and have finalised your preparations for a massive St George’s Day party!

Croc shoes are a bit like marmite. People either love them or hate them, and whilst I am not a huge fan of the clunky clog style croc shoes, they are very comfy to wear and I do love the colours.

However, I have discovered they have an ever expanding range of shoes that have the same comfort, but look a bit more appealing.
