My mission today was to find something gorgeous for my equally as gorgeous 10 month old niece! The selection of children’s clothes is equally as good & I knew it was time for a good old rummage!
After umming & aahing over various party frocks & pretty summer dresses I eventually found the perfect thing! An unbelievably cute long sleeved top in baby pink with “Wannabe Princess” printed over a silver tiara-very appropriate & a snip at £5.99! (RRP £18!)
On my way to the cash desk I did a quick detour to the shoes! I wasn’t looking for anything pretty, more like sturdy & comfy! In no time I had found just what I wanted, a pair of walking shoes by Regatta-a well known maker of outdoor clothing- at the bargain price of £16.99. (RRP £50!) They were good & comfy, in nice neutral colours & also waterproof, which will be a bonus when I’m trudging over Doxey Marshes!
TK MAXX is a great store & is likely to have whatever you’re looking for-just make the time to browse!!

Nowadays its all too easy to get our fresh ingredients from the supermarkets. With their fresh meat counters especially, the traditional local butcher can easily get forgotten.At Stafford247 we believe it’s really important to support the local independent traders as much as possible!
For a family get together I decided to make a nice hearty beef casserole but I didn’t want to get my beef from the supermarket this time! So off I went in search of a good old fashioned butcher! I decided to try Beez Butchers on Greyfriars in Stafford, they have an excellent choice of meats & fresh sausages & also bacon & cheese! They also cater for vegetarians offering meat substitutes & in the summer you can buy all your BBQ essentials too!
I was given a friendly welcome as I got to the counter-always a good start-& placed my order! I was feeding 4 hungry people so I needed a substantial amount of beef &, with the help of the butcher, decided that 1½ lbs would be enough! I also bought 4 rashers of smoked back bacon & ½ dozen eggs (Sunday morning brekkie!).The grand total for all this quality fresh food was £6.20-excellent V.F.M.!
The beef was delicious & went down very well in my casserole, the bacon was equally as good & along with the eggs made a cracking (no pun intended!) Sunday breakfast treat!
I felt that the quality of produce that I bought was superb & all for under £7! I will definitely use Beez Butchers again & I would encourage everyone to do the same & support your local butcher!
