Big mystery. What happened to my wellies? One minute they were where they should be, the next, after a fatal tidying up session, they were gone.
I’ve looked everywhere, but there’s no sign.
So, I’ve now got a new pair of flash wellies … in blue, for heaven’s sake!
Poncey, or what?
And while we’re about it, I’ve splashed out on a new yard brush, cos the old one fell to bits after only a few seasons of being left out in the rain, snow, sun, wind and hail. I thought they were made of sterner stuff!
That followed hard on the heels of the strimmer which gave up the ghost this year after a mere 12 years or so of use, and had to be replaced. I suppose I got good value out of that, although the neighbours may not have thought so with the whining whirr that they give off when in use.
Now all I need is a new sledgehammer. Shaft broke after, ooh, about only eight or nine years’ service.
It’s been a pricey couple of weeks!
