The wonder of...

...the humble welly!!

Well actually I suppose I should really talk about wellies (plural) rather than the singular welly, as I prefer to wear one per foot rather than just one in total.  More effective & comfortable.

So my most recent love affair for the wonderful welly began the last time I was out at my folks place, in the country, looking after Rebus...their 4 year old Labradoodle.  I was borrowing my mum's wellies to go on walks with the dog.  I wear wellies because we go 'off piste' so to speak and....well I love splashing in puddles!  (Why do I feel like that's a dirty confession?? - Who doesn't like splashing in puddles??).

Anyway, I had a business meeting in a garden centre...uhuh, that's right, one can have business meetings in garden centres because this particular garden centre has a brilliant restaurant which is rather civilised....and yes, I like to eat when I meet! 
After lunch and said meeting, I wondered through the shopping area - come on, let's face it, who doesn't like going and spending a good few hours in a decent garden centre...they are amazing!!  And it was then that I spotted my most exciting purchase that I've made this year....welly socks!!  That's right, I bought wonderfully cosy, pink welly socks. 

Wanna know what the best thing about welly socks is?  It is absolutely impossible not to look good in them!!  Fact!  Having a bad hair day...worry not, throw on your welly socks and wellies and people will be too busy eyeing up yer foot wear that they're not going to clock yer ragged locks, smudged make-up, or crumpled clothing (or that you're out walking your dog in your PJ's with a coat thrown over the top...so I've heard!!!).

So dear people...I urge you....go and buy yourself some welly socks.  And don't let not having your own pair of wellies put you off because I strongly believe that life will either allow you access to wellies to wear on occasion OR (even more excitingly) present you with the opportunity to spot a pair that you can acquire (for example when you happen across a 'spare' pair that your mother may have lying about the cupboard) :D

Enjoy xxx
