My old hiking boots, bought years ago in England, have finally given up being impermeable after providing me with stalwart daily service through three Canadian winters. I've had to invest in a replacement pair and have gone for these monstrous beasts:
They're so heavy that I feel like someone's turned off the gravity when I remove them. But they're sturdy, warm and waterproof, so I hope will do the job. Not that they need to be, at the moment; the weather's been gloriously mild, dry and sunny. Will probably regret typing those words any day now. ;-)
And, in chicken news...tada!
The last egg before this one was laid on October 22nd. Three weeks of no eggs: most upsetting. Let's hope that this is the start of a more productive period. Not sure if it was from one of the new hens or one of the old ones - I'll keep a closer eye on them over the weekend to see if I can work out who's responsible.

My shoes are pretend versions of yours - they look similar but are lighter and not very waterproof. They are tougher than ordinary shoes though and very comfortable. Sometimes I feel like Florence in the Magic Roundabout in them but shoes which let you do what you need to and go where you want to go are wonderful.
As I scrolled down and the egg emerged, I thought it was the moon.
I’ve now used all the allotted space for photos on Pictures Just Pictures and have started a new blog so I can carry on. It’s called
Message in a Milk Bottle

I’ve given it a different look but its purpose is unchanged - a photo a day.

I didn't know you could run out of space on a Blogger blog. Eek.
Lovely pictures, though, Lucy, as ever! Particularly like the kinky rhizome.
Thanks Amanda.
Blogger is generous in how much you can have free but a notice came up to say I'd used it all and could carry on if I paid - and there was a little chart to say how much. If I had the right kind of card to pay over the internet, I might have considered it - but I don't so moving was the only option. It's odd loosing all one's followers and having to start from scratch - but quite fun too.

They do indeed look like monsters, but if they do the trick... My kids fall down laughing whenever I put mine on, because they're that pale creamy grey known as "stone." Don't ask me why. I didn't pick them for the color!
But here's to warm, dry feet.
