Dunlop Wellies

 So ... it's the time of mellow fruitfulness, or whatever the Mr Kipling advert used to say. And yes, before you all write in to expose my stupidity, I am aware that it's an extract from a poem, but my A-Level English Literature put me off of that kind of thing for years. Perhaps I should persevere with Frank Skinner's Poetry Podcast? 

Anyway, as ever I digress. Last week I purchased some green Dunlop Wellington boots from Amazon so that I can stomp through the local woods and do the gardening in. I know that Hunter wellies are the fashionista choice, but they're way too expensive and even if they offer a size 9 the calf width would be far too narrow.

  1. Hello! We'll soon be free of welly weather, I hope. Spring seems like it's creeping in. These are rather dashing, though. Is that 'British Racing Green'? They look very hardy and protective. I hope you're well. x

  2. Here's hoping! My suburb is very boggy indeed. I trust that you are well too? I am currently wearing out a pair of slippers.
