Sadly, in the eye of the consumer, using "luxury" to describe a product makes the quality of true marques somewhat redundant ... using it is - often - as untrustworthy as a politician ...
Okay, I am a wee exhausted ... so I am now rambling ... focus!
ANYWAY - I received a gift yesterday in the form of a nice, new, shiny pair of Hunter wellington boots ... from the "Balmoral Sovereign" range no-less ... (they did NOT come from a pr company or anything like that, by the way) ...
As far as wellies are concerned, these are a pair of Bentleys.
Early this morning I stomped about St James Park (in the dark) and this afternoon gallumped through 1 foot high streams to test-drive them ... and I am pleased to report that my feet remained warm (the Shearling insoles helped here) and quite dry ... and now I think I need some Hunter boot socks (shooting) and Shearling mittens to compliment my new footwear! There is only one downside ... driving in wellies is not a great idea ... I nearly backed my car into a fence as I couldn't feel the pedals!
Hunter wellies - TRUE luxury ...
A glass of Rust en Vrede pinot noir beckons.
This weekend is going to be very quiet - the weather is looking cool, dry & sunny - I feel a trip to the seaside coming on for tomorrow (more boot testing)!
This time next week ... well ... you'll see!

(and before you think I have lost my musical marbles ... this song is dedicated to a VERY, VERY special couple in Thailand - who love elephants as much as I. Miss you guys ...)
