Thanks for visting Simply The Nest.

Oh, and Jack Russells (we have two). And our five year masterplan to move to France. Très bien.

I'm Loving It - Glorious New Wellies (And Mud)

A few weeks ago I blogged about my newly-found need for wellies, and created a little shortlist of nine possible lovelies: 

So after a carefully considered thought process (not really - I just pointed at the screen and said "I choose you!") here's what got delivered on Friday:

Cuteness!

We took the wellies (and of course the dogs) to Tatton Park for a test drive:

Yeah, it was gloomy. But there was plenty of mud, glorious mud to stomp around in:

Penny couldn't quite figure out how to climb down from the massive tree trunk: 

After a good two hours of scampering around the park, someone was somewhat in need of a bath (no, no, not me - all I needed was a nice cup of tea and a biscuit):

After which she was rather sleepy:

Enrique was sleepy too. And very fluffy. After a bath he just turns into a big gorgeous puff-ball:

What did you do with your weekend?

Yesterday was a full day of torrential rain in the city and I wore my beloved welllies too. I feel so free to romp around in them, almost like a kid again with no worries about the mess. Mine are J.Crew's Burnished Rubber riding boots. They were a fabulous catch, as are yours!

Alice, they look fantastic! We don“t have these super cute wellies in Germany. :-(
I definitely need to come over to buy some. They would be so useful when all the snow melts.

Hallo Wiebke and long-legged Milo! (by the way, for the benefit of anyone else reading this, Milo is a Jack Russell...)

You must tell me if you find a pair of wellies you like, and I will get them and bring them over next time I visit Berlin. Milo would like to chew them, I am sure :-)

Hola Lydia! I so know what you mean about scampering around like a kid. I found a ditch full of autumn leaves and joyfully scuffed my way along it.
