Sustainable footwear brand Native Shoes has just launched its new FW20 collection of planet-friendly footwear options. The best bit? All shoes are entirely recyclable via the Native Shoes Remix Program, which sees old and worn-out shoes turned into colourful playgrounds for local children. We love these Kensington Treklite Print boots, perfect for your little rockstars this winter. The boldest boot in the playground, the Kensington Treklite Print boot is available in two limited edition prints, Leopard Print with Gold Glitter, or Zebra Print with Black Glitter.
These boots have an ultra-grippy Treklite sole and puddle-loving water-resistant upper and are boots guaranteed to be the talk of the town. Despite the bright animal print, animal lovers never need fear: every pair of Native Shoes is guaranteed to be 100% free of any animal products.

Charity Cambridge Past Present & Future (Cambridge), has partnered with global toy company Mattel, to unveil a special blue plaque on Tuesday 8 December at the Old Rectory of The Holy Trinity Church in the village of Elsworth in South Cambridgeshire. The plaque is to commemorate The Reverend W. Awdry, rector at the church from 1946-1952 and well-known as the author of The Railway Series books, that first introduced the world to Thomas & Friends. Many of his books were published while he was rector at the Elsworth church.
The Cambridge & District Blue Plaque Scheme recognises and celebrates notable people and events that have made a significant impact on the area, the UK or, indeed, the world. This scheme is run by local charity Cambridge Past, Present & Future largely through the fantastic efforts of volunteers.
The Reverend. W Awdry (1911 – 1997) was an Anglican clergyman, railway enthusiast and hugely successful children’s author who created the enduringly popular Railway Series of books and characters, including the much-loved Thomas the Tank Engine. Awdry had just become rector of the parish of Elsworth in 1946 when the success of his first two books led the publisher, Edmund Ward, to commission Awdry to write a new book for the Railway Series every year. He would do so for the next 24 years, writing five titles at Elsworth before moving on to serve another Cambridgeshire parish, Emneth. The Reverend W. Awdry put down his pen in 1972.
What began as a father’s stories to amuse his three-year-old son, in bed with measles, became a literary, publishing, merchandising and financial phenomenon. At the time of his death in 1997, Awdry’s Railway Series books had sold in the order of 50 million copies, in a dozen languages, and inspired videos, toys, games, clothes and a popular television series.
With a woodgrain-patterned structure, this baby gym has a whimsical outdoor feel. The printed mesh backdrop sets the ultimate campground scene, while the plush, sleeping bear tummy time pillow encourages developmental milestones. A light-up firefly, musical raccoon and other nature friends help to develop baby’s sensory skills.
A courageous little girl who fought back after losing all her limbs to meningitis is the protagonist of this children’s storybook designed to provide comfort this Christmas. Harmonie-Rose meets Covi, a little green dinosaur sent by Santa to save Christmas. The book is the third tale in the series ‘The Adventures of Covi, the Little Green Dinosaur’.
Seven-year-old Harmonie-Rose Allen, from Bath, contracted meningococcal septicemia as a baby and was given only a 10% chance of survival. Her arms and legs were amputated, but miraculously, she survived, and now, thanks to prosthetic legs, she loves jumping and skipping and even completed a half-marathon in her home city when she was just five.
An ambassador for the charity Meningitis Now, Harmonie-Rose will feature in the children’s illustrated storybook ‘Covi, the Little Christmas Dinosaur!’ written by author Susie Cullen and illustrated by Chay Winter.
