It features the inspirational running poem by Steven Corbett:
Sometimes you need to run
To grab your trainers, your shorts and vest
To leave behind the emails and text
What’s been before, what’s happening next
Sometimes you need the hills, the lakes
the wind, the pain the footpaths and rain
To not wait for that shy and fickle sun.
Sometimes you just need to run
Not for a purpose or a goal
Just for the sound of your steps
Re-charging your soul You may also like our Running Print, our Running card or one of our running coasters - all featuring the same inspirational running verse.

Dogs love their Dads so we've created a Dads and Dogs Father's Day Card to celebrate!
It goes a little bit like this...
Here’s to the Dads… and their dogs
To those early morning risers,
Crack of dawn dog exercisers.
To those pavement pounders
The twice park a-rounders
Here’s to keeping each other sane
In the sun and in the rain
To pausing all the anarchy
In wordless, walking, harmony
To the runs the walks and plods
Here’s to the Dads... and their Dogs
We think it sums up the Dad and dog relationahipo perfectly and make a brilliant Father's Day card too!

Uncomfortable with Valentines Day? Mr C has a solution with his wonderful "A Socialist Valentine" Funny Valentines Card. Thankfully I'm not a capitalist and barely turn a wage so it's wholly appropriate!!

Obviously I know valentine’s cards
Were invented by our capitalist
Overlords, to extort yet more money
From a hard pressed proletariat
Struggling under the yoke of a
Materialistic false consciousness.
And then I thought….
You're just so flippin' gorgeous.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Comrade.
Complete with socialist fist this is the perfect anti-valentine for your loved one.

When to run, to wait, to stay.
Thoughts kept small, to moments in a day.
Knowing a different us is a walk away. ©StevenCorbett 2022
Lake District Print
This wonderful Lake District Print has been created as a collaboration with Steven on words and Helena illustrating. It perfectly captures what it is about the Lake District that people love and return year in year out for.
It makes the perfect Christmas gift for a friend, husband or wife and will spark many a happy memories of time spent walking and drinking in the fresh air. The poem reads as follows:
We got lost in those hills and lakes, so lost.
Forgot who we were for those few days
Lost ourselves to the pubs and the people
To the wind rippled water, the wide open sky
Lost in the light and landscape
To the whispers and the rustle of the season
Marked time by the width of a meadow,
By early morning climbs and slow descents
Gave ourselves up to its simplicity
Walked, talked, eat, and slept.
Had time to remember, little to forget
Found that silly side of ourselves again
Dreamers, schemers, post children in-betweeners
Imagined we might get lost forever
In this little part of heaven,
And its changeable weather.

Cycling Print – gift for a cyclist
Cycling Print - gift for a cyclist
This fantastic poem has been written by our very own Mr C - himself a cycler. I think you'll agree that it captures the thrill of the hill perfectly (see what I did there? That's why I stick to the pictures!)
Ride the winter out, ride the summer back,
Every dual carriage-way, every single track.
Ride for wind in your face, the sun on your back.
For the hum of rubber, on a smooth tarmac.
Ride away the commute, the long working week.
The voice that says, ‘I can’t be bothered this week.’
Why say ‘it’s a hobby’ when you know it’s a need.
So work through the gears and crank up the speed.
Ride for the calm that comes with a one track mind.
With another route conquered, another hill climbed.
