I am pleased you found it interesting.
These boots certainly were an impressive memorial, even without the flowers.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you very much!
Glad you like it.
I seem to remember reading that it was 50 pairs, but you will have to dig into the internet to see if I am right.
Best Wishes, a good weekend, and keep safe!!
