The cobbler. by happypat

The cobbler.

@annemary challenged me to take a photo of someone working after having asked them first...here is my photo.
I went to pick up Harrys walking boots from our cobbler & he very kindly obliged.

Three good things:
1. Half price Hake for tea.
2. Lydia has passed her driving theory test today,
3. The rest of the maize has been harvested today before the worst of the rain arrived.

I love him! I had some keys cut today - I should have asked the cobbler in there! You've reminded me of a 4th good thing...

There is some sole in that shot and he doesn't look down at heel although he could be looking through an eyelet at what the future holds. But I spose he won get in a leather and all tight laced about it.

Well done, Pat. A FAV from me for being brave which must be a fourth good thing. How did it feel?

Well done Pat , having got a super shot of the cobbler in his workshop-- I hope that he did not hit his thumb with that hammer while posing for you !!!!

You have a real cobbler?! I bet half the children nowdays don't know that word! He even looks young - well younger than some of us!

What a cheerful chappie! Brave of you to ask, but the result is excellent! Is he going to display a copy in his shop? He should!

My young neighbor complained that her husband has worn out the soles and heels of his dress shoes and hates to go shopping for new ones, and when I suggested a cobbler, she looked at me like I had two heads. She had no idea they really existed!!!

He does look very cheerful! cool shot :)

@bpaquette I had a chat to this guy & he says he is extra busy because during the recession every one is having their shoes repaired instead of buying new!!
