This is just a quick post on a busy Saturday to big up a wonderful new book that was launched this week.
In the spring of this year ShoesieQ met Anne Prince through a mutual friend (thanks Caroline, aka @cambridgelass!) and she told me all about her plans to support the wonderful Independent shops and businesses that make Cambridge so special. And just 8 months later Anne delivered!
So last Wednesday the great and the good of Cambridge found themselves in the gorgeous surrounds of Member’s club 12a to celebrate the launch of Anne’s book – Independent Cambridge. It’s a good read too – with lots of stories about the people behind each business. And if you root through it for long enough you’re bound to find a great shop,cafe or restuarant that you’ve never heard of before.
Even more thrillingly, this morning when ShoesieQ was on her way to work she picked up a copy of the Cambridge News – and found herself looking at a little picture of herself on the Front page!
No time to say much more – other than if you know anyone in the Cambridge area this book will make a great pressie! And here’s a link to Independent Cambridge’s website, followed by a copy of the article in the Cambridge News

Well now! the queen of Cambridge alongside the Queen of the UK. It must be a sign! I can se the OBE (at least) for services to Indie Shops, on the near horizon. OK, maybe that’s for later, but for new, congrats Sarah.
Hahaha – I won’t be holding my breath on that one – but thanks Paul!
You never know!!!!!! Let me know when it happens and I’ll peer through the railings.
Add a capital T for The queen of, and replace an e with an o, and you have a fully correct response! I’ll try again…..For now, congrats Sarah.
