I bought them last summer after remembering how much I'd loved my Jelly Shoes as a child, and they were great! I wore them everywhere, and walked miles in them! Even when it started to turn autumnal, I still wore them with tights and they looked great.
They were also really practical for wearing in the sea when it is pebbly. Hence why I was waering them in the sea at the weekend, as Milford is very pebbly. I was diving though a wave and whumpf, gone. Only one jelly shoe left. :( I tried my best to look for it but the sea was so churning, and the current so strong that we had no chance.
The next morning, I went along the beach for a walk, half keeping an eye out, and whilst I sadly did not find my missing jelly, I did find a fair selection of other sad, lost shoes.
Whilst pondering what to do with my other jelly, it made me think about what people do with the other un-lost shoe. Do they just throw them away? Or is there some charity that collects shoes for one legged people? I shall have to do some research.
Although, the eternal optimist in my is hoping that on one of my next 2 trips back to Milford this summer, I may just find it lurking, lonely somewhere, waiting to be rescued.....
