The leaves may not have turned quite yet, but it certainly feels more Autumn than Summer this week. So with the change of season comes, in my opinion, all the best bits - lighting the fire for the 1st time, thinking about hunkering down for the Winter (don't panic, I'm not about to mention the big 'C' word quite yet even though the shops may be gearing up already), crunchy leaves underfoot and wrapping up in comfy layers even though it's not properly cold yet...

This Autumn though, I have an exciting purchase to make...my little boy's first ever pair of wellington boots. Never mind the first pair of jeans or the first pair of shoes, his first wellies seems to be so much more grown-up a prospect as they promise totally independent kicking about in piles of leaves or muddy puddles (is that him or me?) and gives me the chance to act like a kid with no questions asked!
