My friends at Mountain Warehouse have asked me to tell you about a competition they're running. It's a chance to win a pair of wellies every day it rains this month by simply posting (on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest or the fridge door) a picture of splashing. Here's one I took earlier of Boy One. If you want to know more look at their Big Splash competition page.
And while we're on the subject of Mountain Warehouse. I'd like to take a closer look at the snow boots MW sent for Boy Three to try.
The boots were proudly worn on a recent walk and collection of acorns. While it's a bit early for snow, these boots are pretty good all-rounders. They provide a reasonable grip on slippy ground and firm ankle support. As well as being waterproof up to the laces at least - I'm sure we'll test this properly soon enough.
Boy Three will certainly get more wear out of them than simply on snowy days.
