I'm so excited, I have a new pair of Wellies... ta-da!!
No, they're not purple, they're 'Iris'.
Why is this worthy of a post? Well, I spoke to a fellow blogger on the telephone once, discussing a commercial transaction of the party bag kind. She mentioned her husband referred to me as 'the one in pink wellies', so I need to let you all know I'm a Frog who follows the latest fashion, and I've changed my image - to purple (that's as exciting as life gets these days!)
My Fuchsia Hunter Wellies had been treated to a large amount of biting from my Saddleback Piglets and have sadly passed their best some time ago, but being a frugal frog I have made them last. I scrubbed them in readiness for the Ball, but really felt they weren't going to be good enough and so hunted down a new pair of Hunters (without the aid of horses, hounds or fox fatalities).
I went to a local supplier where the staff were only able to grunt one syllable at a time and gave up pretty quickly valuing the tad of sanity I had left. I came home and once again thanked the Lord for Google. A few clicks and emails et voila! a new pair of Wellies in the desired colour and size arrived the next day! That's what I call service, something rarely seen these days.
I'm a huge stickler for good customer service, I get rather mad with companies whose attitude is bad and I would be bloody furious with myself if my company ever (spare the thought) let a customer down.
This post recalls a particularly humorous episode on the Frog world:Never Work With Animals

Oooh a lovely colour! I use Fitness Footwear regularly - due to wonky knees and very large feet I need supportive shoes and always find a good selection at that website.
You're wearing purple wellies to the ball? Surely it's an occasion for heels darling?!
love the colour! i have a pair of hunter wellies in boring green ... and a strange stripe of white paint, which probably explains why they were down the tip for £1. but now the paint has worn away thanks to continued use in muddy fields, so i may reapply some dots. in your honour, in purple!
Lovely! You are a very glam Frog.
there's a list for you over at mine, just for you x
ps word veri is suple, are you new wellies?

Hello Rosie, if I wear heels I won't be able to run around.
