We hope you are all having an enjoyable winter! It hasn't been particularly snowy, even here in central Scotland, but boy has it been stormy! I'm not sure if it has been any more stormy than usual - it could be more to do with the Met Office naming storms now that makes them seem more frequent, but I have to say we are all very much looking forward to Spring and enjoying some fresh and sunny days!
As we look towards the better days of spring and getting out and about more, many of us will be looking to update our walking sticks. Whether you use them as necessary mobility aids, or simply as a bit of extra support when out in the countryside we are sure to have the ideal stick for you at the Stick & Cane Shop.
We have seen some beautiful new stock arriving at the
Stick & Cane Shop over the past couple of weeks, and we thought we would feature these in our blog this week. So if you are looking to treat yourself this season, be sure to give these a try!
Hopefully it won't be too long to go until things start warming up and we can get out and about a bit more!
Here's to a happy and sunny Spring!
