This is my blog about gardening, allotments and the environment. I love being in my wellies. If I’m wearing my trusty green boots it means I’m either in my garden surrounded by lovely plants, at my allotment growing tasty fruit and veg and beautiful cut flowers or walking in the gorgeous countryside. For some women it’s Manolo Blahniks and Christian Louboutins (expensive shoes for those not in the know) for me I’m happiest in my wellies. I hope to share with you stories, musings and tips from my life in wellies. Hope you enjoy.
If you would like to contact me (other than posting a comment) please send a message to sweetpealou@hotmail.com. I will endeavour to respond as quickly as possible.
Dear Wellywoman,
Thanks for your kind comments about our mail order organic plants. I’d just like to add that they are grown in peat-free compost.
Happy Gardening,
Jill Vaughan

My wellies are a serviceable black. Bought in horror just after we moved into our new house, and it threatened to sail off to sea. Two years of winter floods, now gravel paths and kinder winters have put the wellies into hibernation.
Tomorrow’s post I’ll bring you sunny South Africa.
You look so at home in your wellies – used to love mine and the ease of slipping them on (though not off for some reason). Have not worn wellies since volunteering for a gardening charity – the health and saftey gremlins have left me with the horrors of a fork pranged through my toe or a spade that slipped.
It took me a few minutes to figure out what “wellies” were, but I love your blog site and now I know what wellies are!!
I am glad I have just found your blog as we have just taken on an allotment and your posts have been really interesting and helpful.

Thanks Kate. I’m certainly no expert but I’m pleased to hear that some of things I’ve picked up might help others. A lot of it is about trying things and not getting disheartened if they don’t work, which can be hard. WW x
I love your green wellies. Style and comfort.
Morning! I’m nominating you for the Very Inspiring Blogger award which I’ll publish in a moment. You dont need to do anything, its just to say I like your blog!
Oh thank you Sofia, that’s so kind. It really means a lot to hear you like my posts.
