With the exciting launch of, Norfolk Talks last week, I was invited to chat to Stephen Bumfrey of BBC Radio Norfolk about thefine East Anglian people we have set to be a part of the series.

In his usual ubeat manner, he was able to get me to reveal a few of the fabulous inspirers!

The interview can be heard at https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08cf5w3 timing, 3:32:18

I tentatively approached Archant with an idea and this is what I came up with! A new series of videos featuring some of Norfolk’s best known personalities and entertainers is being launched to inform and entertain people in the county through lockdown and beyond.

During Covid-19, the EDP has been very loyal and supportive of local business. Of course, locality of the news is important to the newspaper.

I received the news of being a Drapers Footwear Awards finalist during the height of lockdown, and The EDP Newspaper were keen to publicise this news to their readership.

The link can be found below. Happy reading!

I was invited by BBC Radio Norfolk to come into the studio to chat to Graham Barnard for the run-up yo Norfolk Day on the 27th July.

The county will be getting into the spirit of the annual event, as will Milly J Shoes! Find out what swe get up to soon.

With Mother's Day approaching, it was nice to find a kind write up in the EDP Newspaper featuring Milly J Shoes' and The Maids Head Hotel's Mothering Sunday event, It was in fact listed as one of their top 5 treats.

We are hosting another fun and creative decadent afternoon tea and shoe accessory making workshop held at the iconic hotel.

Please see the home page for details.

Last Sunday was a great occasion coming together for the annual EDP/Archant, Dunston Hall Wedding Show.

The event always sees a fantastic footfall of bride and grooms to be along with their family and friends. This year's show felt particularly smooth and relaxed with both the suppliers and visitors enjoying the extensive range of services on offer.

Wew look forward to seeing you at the two day, Showground event in February!

I have posted about this previously, but last week was the actual event. Women across Norfolk had been chosen by the public and then an esteemed panel of judges and The Edp to become one of Norfolk's top 100 Most Inspiring Women.

It was a truly inspiring day, as you can imagine with some very talented and clever women (excluding my self)! I was placed on a table with women who included the UK's first female firefighter, high profile stylist, Chrissi Rix, head teacher of Norwich School for Girls, Kirsty Von Malaise and others.

Wine was poured and food was readily consumed in the stunning venue of Brasted's. Delightful chatter and a few tears shed as women came together.

Thank you to Sophie Stainthorpe, The EDP's head of content for initially nominating me!

The 100 Most Inspiring Norfolk Women newspaper articles can be googled.

It was a very surreal surprise to open my email the other day to discover that I had been nominated and put forward as one of Norfolk's 100 Most inspiring Women! To be nominated is one thing, but to be chosen among many inspiring women in my opinion is another, Thank you for believing in the causes that I continue to fight for. https://www.edp24.co.uk/features/100-most-inspiring-women-in-norfolk-1-6294621

Last week, Milly J Shoes was invited by Archant's Bride magazine to be a part of their 2020 bridal subscription magazine shoot. One of the world's leading bridal publications, the magazine is an annual editorial.

Look out for these stunning photos soon!

We always have a great time exhibiting among various other fabulous bridal suppliers at the official, Bride Magazine Wedding Show. This is held twice a year at the Norfolk Showground with it being the largest wedding show in the area. Our themes were peacock blues and sea greens. The gorgeous flower girl dress was made by my partner's sister, Tara Martin - Miluca.
