No pirates but knights, cool!

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!

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

We American's get a bad rap for being obscene, and nasty. Sounds like someone has been using the American's as fodder

Thanks Danielle and Sarah for the clarification. And to Charlotte and Lori for sharing my confusion. Wendy is firmly ensconced in my lexicon. I don't dare mention my ignorance of wellies but assume they're appropriate for crossing a bog. Photos when you get there, Sarah! Please.

I'm pretty good at swearing. I grew up in Fleetwood, mum was a Scot, dad son of an Irishman and English mother. Dad had been in the RAF and a sailor in the merchant navy.
