A Year In Photos-Day 109

A couple of weeks ago the children and I went out on our magazine delivery round down the hill. In one garden we spotted a discarded shoe. Lots of bushes and plants had been cut back from where the shoe was but it didn't look like it had been amongst the undergrowth for any length of time. From a quick glance it looked fairly new and in good condition. Me being the inquisitive soul that I am wondered what the story was behind one shoe being in that garden.

Yesterday on the way to school I spotted the matching shoe about 15 yards up from our house, in the opposite direction from the shoe we'd seen previously...

This one is clearly in a very poor state! Why did the owner discard the broken one and then walk down the hill before throwing away the other shoe??
