The day to day commings and goings of a traveller at a standstill.....



Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journy

These boots were made for walking.....


So recently as you know LP brought my hiking boots back from NZ... they have been sitting there in a bag in the crawl space above the garage since my semi-childhood bedroom was completely moved into storage.... so i figured along with the whole "i have to break these boots back in so they don't give me massive blisters..." it might be nice to have some fun with it and since my lovely friend Maezee (that's right you get a shout out!) back in NZ insisted on photos i thought i would write a random blog all about my boots (and LP's if you remember i made him get some too although he says they are are lovely to wear although he didn't use the word lovely that was all me...) so any who long story short yesterday we turned regular Sunday into... boot trek Sunday!! and went for a somewhat leisurely walk around St Clements... we are yet to re-test/test the boots on some mountainous terrain but for now at least they have had a run in the mud and puddles of the Cornish countryside....




Setting off from home...

the hard track ahead...



Me trekking along...

Jumping over puddles...

Heel click!

Taking a break from trekking to skim some stones...

LP jumps for joy!...(or more likely because i made him)

My boots as they look like from directly above...

LP's boots looking a bit muddy...

Home again home again Jiggidy jig....

Heres hoping this wee jaunt will have slightly prepared our boots for Africa...i dont think so somehow...
