Liberty Print Wellies

Ages ago, I wrote about the fun Tamara Henriques Wellington boots, and now that we’re being hit with the remnants of Hurricane Ida, good wellie boots are in order.  Luckily, I got an e-mail from Liberty saying that they’re now selling wellies with two of their distinctive prints on them.

You can get them in either the Bourton style or the classic Caesar print. Which do you like best?

Red Poppy Sunday

In the UK, today is Remembrance Sunday. This date was established after the “Great War”, which was World War I. But then WWII came along, and then several other conflicts, including the current ones.  As I mentioned in my post last year, paper poppies are sold everywhere to raise money for veterans of the numerous wars and conflicts. Everyone wears them, from punks to pensioners to posh tots. They are sold in Tube stations and in grocery stores. They unite the country in a very visible way… in a way like nothing here in the US does. British forces all over the world, from those currently serving, to the aging Chelsea Pensioners, stop to remember their fallen comrades spanning the generations.Please take a moment to remember those who have lost their lives to ensure our freedom and safety, both here in the US and all over the world.
