Boots

I have had my leather boots for years and they are definitely at the end of their life. They are worn away and letting in water. The quest began to find a new pair for this winter.

It’s a job I hate because I have wide feet and it’s always difficult to find something comfortable. After trying on loads of boots I finally found a pair that I think will be okay once I’ve worn them in a bit.

At this point we saw a pair of ankle wellington boots for ten pounds. Aha, we both thought, these would be good for the chicken run. I bought a pair in a size larger than usual so that they are really easy to slip on and off, with or without socks (I am still wearing flip flops at the moment).

My husband gets fed up of the mud I tread over the patio and path so I intend to keep my new boots clean and change into my chicken boots once through the run gate.

They are even a bit trendy with their gold bows. I am sure the girls will soon be pecking at the bows as they love anything shiny and I am also sure these boots will never be seen this shiny again.

Today I intend to dig the run over and give my new boots a test drive.
