Posted by: stazjia on: September 30, 2008
I’ve spent some time today giving this blog a new title – Stazjia’s Weblog was just too boring for words. OK, it’s still not very exciting but I’ve never been good at titles. I’ve also given it a new look. I hope it’s more attractive and easier to read. On the last design, I thought [...]

May2008 Blue Joules Wellingtons
Originally uploaded by CarlYnot
How sad I am now. The biggest thrill of the week is buying a new pair of wellies (wellington boots). They are bit like the ones in this picture.
When we moved house in March, somehow my old wellies got lost and I’ve ruined a pair of shoes taking the [...]
