I agree. I can get into the knights. I thought wellies were slipping on boots. I've heard cowboy boots refered to as wellies. No one on this side of the pond said it. Here, there boots. I have 2 nice pairs one is more for riding horses one is for dressing up

Ha ha! I aim to please!

I never thought wearing wellies and having a strop would be sexy lol!

Wellies is short for Wellington Boots named after the Duke of Wellington who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. I have no idea why he has rubber boots named after him! Funnily enough my boots are Muckboots, that's the brand!

I'm going to have to include a glossary at the end of all my posts at this rate!

Had quite a nice chilled day working from home today, watching the farmer in his tractor from my window ploughing the field behind my house. I am going to miss this view when I move but I'm craving quiet and more space.

It's been a lovely sunny day today as well but apparently we have stormy winds coming over the weekend. Typical bank holiday weekend, grrr.

Might need my wellies and a brolly unfortunately.

Hi Sarah, I'm just catching up on your new blog. I looks great so far and I didn't fall asleep once.

I'm looking forward to see what happens next.

A Brolly is slang for an Umbrella, I have no idea what a slicker is.

Yep I was drawing a blank on that one too!

@Dawn Kellie So the film "City Slickers" is about wearing a raincoat in the city? Thought it was about cowboys ha ha!

*peeks in and smiles*

It's your turn to educate people, Sarah. ;D English is a hundred different languages. :P

All I would say is that you could have pirates and car chases in the same thing. I can even see the movie title: "Pieces of V8!"

*monster hugs*

I will be watching from the shadows. :)

I bet if you went off on an American with a proper rant, the American would look at you as if you had 2 heads and a third growing.

I can be a potty mouth as well. Military service and a lot more years in construction than I want to admit to. My mom should wash my mouth out, especially as a younger person. I try not to but....

The proper term is "Swear like a Navvie". And yes, this is something we share. ;D You really don't want to hear a Brit get riled up about something. :P
