Snow Days


The snow has spread nationwide in the UK and once again, we aren't prepared. Why does this happen every single year? Snow is the norm in the Scandies yet the nation is at grid lock when we get an inch. We haven't had any snow as yet but we have plenty of ice, I found out this morning not to my amusement. I stepped out the house in my Camper shoes and went flying, dashed in for a quick change into my Dr Marten shoes and then off I went. 

The problem with Docs for me is, I find them an effort to wear and they don't look so hot with cords(which is my winter trews of choice). I came across these hiking boots-cum-wellies by Native a few weeks ago and they have stuck in my mind ever since. Made from plastic EVA and coming in a nice range of colours and a detachable lining, I think these would make a top choice to combat the chilly weathers but also pretty nifty for summer. Whack a couple of pairs of wool socks on and you're away.

LN-CC have got them. How do you combat the icy cold weather?
