Hunter Wellingtons for Dad

Hunter Wellingtons for Dad

I'm entering this Hunter boot competition for my dad, who goes through a few pairs of wellies a year. My family live on a small holding in Carmarthenshire, South Wales, where we are flooded in around 20 times a year. My Dad (Mick), bless him is out all weathers in his welly boots! I have attached a photo of my dad, braving the floods, and also one of my 'lane' flooded.

Wellies, My Wellies

Wellies, Wellies, all in muck

wet and dry just like a duck.

Red ones, green ones, yellow and blue,

hose them off, they look like new!

In my garden, among Peonies and Posies,

happy am I, especially my toesies.

Tell me, please tell me, just give me one clue;

is there anything you can't do,

better than a shoe?

We climb and we splash and we kick and we crunch;

we work and we play and skip to make brunch-

We're high and we're low, we're fast, we're slow;

we lie amidst things that grow and glow.

Down by the creek, so dewy and sleek,

your grips and your buckles look very unique.

Oh, my Wellingtons... how do you do it?

There's a Dolce ad, and you're right next to it!

You do have style, you must admit, feats of strength, such depth and grit!

Paisley, polka dots, plaid and plain,

Fearlessly, standing tall, against wind, snow, and rain!

Impermeable, irresistible, get up and go;

Wellies, my Wellies, I do love you so!

An Ode to Hunter Wellingtons

I really do love Hunters.

Their Wellies are simply the best.
Perfect for splashing in puddles.
To get things off you chest.

I have a pair of Green ones.
Which make me look quite posh.
I'd love another brighter pair.
Just simply don't have the dosh.

Having been a little bit poorly.
My daily walk is my fave.
I lose myself in the countryside.
And try to remain strong and brave.

So another pair of Hunters.
Would beat the winter blues.
And I'll be twitter charm personified.
If you do, indeed, me choose.

Hunter Wellies and Music Festivals-with out camping

The four-room property is avowedly eco, from its low-energy light bulbs to the locally sourced organic breakfasts in a communal dining area. You can even have an Indian head massage if you ask nicely. The family-owned Cottage in the Wood (01684 588860, www.cottagein the wood.co.uk; doubles from £99) in nearby Malvern Wells also makes a relaxing retreat.

Festivals, Families and Hunter Wellies

Festivals, Families and Hunter Wellies are on the increase as the rave generation hit their 40s. A number of summer music festivals like the Big Chill, Gulifest, Green Man, Womad and the Latitude are catering for families with a children's arena, to keep those little Sunflower Pixie Rosepetals busy while you enjoy the live music.

Here are some Festival tips for parents:

1. Make sure you want your children with you. You will miss out on some things and may like to bring a nanny. Not an expensive child minder but your gran or a friend or Lot's of friends who can share the childcare.

2. Try to travel light, most essentials will be on site. But do not forget to pack those Hunter Wellies, not only are they fashionable but functional too. Trench foot is not good for parents or children! Not forgetting to pack plenty of wet wipes, these are great for everything.

3. Write your Mobile number on their arm with a maker and point out steward in high-vis jackets who can help them if they get lost.

4. Pick the right festival. The websites will let you know which ones have stuff on for kids. Remember there are always a few unpleasant aspects to festivals wherever it is: big crowds, loud noise, drunks and undesirables.

5. Play them some of the bands you are likely to hear at the festival. Recognizing the music will help add to their enjoyment.

6. Take plenty of snacks and drinks- festival food tends to be pricey, spicy and involve a long queues.

7. Research your festival carefully-some offer play groups and creches.

8. As soon as you get their check the map so you know where the toilets, wash areas and emergency facilities are.

9. Wheelbarrows or a Radio Flyer Wagon these are a good way to get tired kids back to the tent.

10. Try to get a pass which allows you to park close to where you are camped so you don't have to walk for miles back to your car.

11. Invest in some noise reduction headphones for your children they even come in pink or lime! Check out this site we found Peltor Kids.

12. Enjoy yourself! Even if your child moans for the whole weekend- as soon as they get home they will be telling their friends what a brilliant time they had and which famous celebrities they spotted!

Watch Gordon Ramsay Make Beef Wellington

Beef Wellington is a preparation of beef tenderloin coated with pâté (often pâté de foie gras) and duxelles, which is then wrapped in puff pastry and baked. The origin of the name is unclear but one theory is that beef Wellington was named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. Some have suggested this was due to his love of a dish of beef, truffles, mushrooms, Madeira wine, and pâté cooked in pastry, but there is no evidence to say for sure. Other accounts simply credit the name to a patriotic chef wanting to give an English name to a variation on the French filet de bœuf en croûte during a period when England was often at odds with France. Still another theory is that the dish is not named after the Duke himself, but rather that the finished joint was thought to resemble one of the brown shiny military boots which were named after him.

A Great British dish used for Sunday lunch or even a dinner party. Watch Gordon Ramsay step by step on how to create this mouth watering master piece. Enjoy!

How a Hunter Wellington is Made

If you live in rural Britain or simply love walking in the countryside all year round, there is one item of country clothing that you are bound to own: a pair of good, stout Wellington boots. Whether you have to contend with mud, puddles or a mixture of both, rubber wellies are undoubtedly the best footwear for the job.

Hunter Wellington boots are by far the best-known wellies in the UK, even receiving worldwide fame with fans located across the world. Having been making them for more than a century, the Hunter company has mastered the design of rubber Wellingtons and has developed specialist pairs for various uses.

In its manufacture of welly boots, Hunter uses a variety of materials to obtain the best possible performance and comfort. However, not just any old materials are chosen for use in Hunter wellies. New fabrics go through a rigorous process of testing to ensure that they will perform at the highest levels and will be incredibly durable. Durability is an especially important issue to consider, since most Hunter Wellington boots will be worked hard by their wearer and it is essential that they will last.

What are my Hunter boots made from?

Once the rubber arrives, it is mashed up, beaten and rolled out onto huge cutting tables, where different cutters (not unlike pastry cutters) are employed for each individual section of the boot. Step-by-step, each section is then placed on top of a metal 'last' (pictured at top of page) - starting with the neoprene or leather sock, then the heel piece, the rubber on the outside, the sole, and finishing with the famous Hunter logo - until an individual boot has been created.

The boots are then cooked, or vulcanised, in big ovens so all the molecules in the rubber are bonded together, making it stronger and waterproof. The boots are then trimmed, checked over thoroughly by one of the factory workers and packaged up for sale. There is very little waste as the unvulcanised rubber trimmings from the cutting table can just be mashed up and used again.

There are a number of fabrics which are used in the extensive range of Hunter wellies, and not just the supple green rubber that makes up the outer surface of the boot. These materials include a number of advanced textiles which have been specially developed for high performance clothing and footwear.

Some Hunter boots include the revolutionary Outlast fabric. Amazingly, this was originally formulated for NASA in order to offer the best possible temperature control for astronauts through their clothing. This clever fabric takes excess heat and stores it until such a time it is needed, then releases it. In boots, an Outlast fabric means that your feet should not get either too hot or too cold.

Another material that is utilised by Hunter in its production of outdoor footwear is the eVENT fabric. This offers all-day dryness, as tiny pores in the material allow sweat and water vapour to be wicked away from the skin. It also promotes warmth, as dry skin is more likely to be warm skin. eVENT fabrics feature particularly prominently in the range of Hunter walking and shooting boots.

A third high tech material used in Hunters New Balmoral Royal and Balmoral Sovereign range, is the ultimate in climate control designed for maximum warmth. Superb quality field featuring a unique luxury grain leather leg lining. Bringing new heights of warmth and comfort, one of Hunters premier shooting boots.

Poems about Wellies

Weird and Wonderful Wellie Poems

"Ode to a Welly" by Maggie Chaplin
Farmer Tustian's welly has walked for countless miles,
squelched through muddy gateways and clambered over tiles
It's been polished by the morning dew and clarted up the dung,
and up till now its merits have largely gone unsung.
It's pushed the spade and turned the sod, heeled in the winter kale,
It's climbed the hill and scaled the fence or lingered in the vale.
On shingle nearly lost it's grip slithered on the brash.
Been still with cold and slick with oil caked in bonfire ash.
It's been streaked with grease at shearing, splashed with herbicidal spray
And doused with disinfectant to keep FMD away.
It's trampled dock and thistle and scuffed the autumn leaves,
Stamped on irksome molehills, been trodden on by theaves.
It's paced both recent furrow and swathes of new-mown hay
And cracked the ice on puddles on frosty winter's day.
It seemed this life was endless till it's partner split its sole
And was no longer watertight so had no useful role.
The worthless boot was thrown away but was then of its mate?
Its walking days were finished. It had another fate.
The farmers trusty welly now no longer shields his tread,
Transported by an engine, it sheathes tractor parts instead.


" Ode To A Welly" by Aled Jones aged 15
Ladies, Gents, its time for welly week,
Celebrating the footwear when the weather's bleak.
I stomp around without a care,
Every farmer should own a pair.
Because he trims sheep's feet all day,
Dad's are covered in purple spray!
Mums owns spotty ones, they aren't plain,
And are perfect for splashing in the rain.
I wear old ones, they aren't plain,
And are perfect for splashing in the rain.
I wear old ones, dirty and green,
A lot of use, my pair have seen.
A friend to the farmers-water they block,
But when mine broke, I gained a wet sock.
Hunters are the best, the king of the shoe
Oh without wellies, what would we do?
Offering protection against water so deep,
Always on our feet when we herd the sheep.
From trekking through marsh, or jumping over heather,
Wellies are perfect, whatever the weather.
Oh I love wellies to no end,
So ode to a welly- a true farmers friend.

"Something in my Welly" by Gareth Lancaster
There's something thick and slimy,
It's down there in my welly.
It squidges and it sploshes,
And it's also rather smelly!
I should of checked it just before,
I plunged my foot straight in.
But I didn't; I feel stupid.
I'm not sure what I've stepped in!
And so I'm in a quandary,
I'm not sure I want to know,
What resides in my welly,
And is squishing tween my toes!
It feels so cold and squelchy,
Oh it's filling me with fear,
Of all the things that it could be,
And I'm too scared to peer!
It could be jam, it could be worse!
It could be mud or goo!
It could be almost anything,
Like week-old drool or glue!
Consumed with dread I peek inside,
Not ready for shock!
And lurking deep with in the dark?
Is a wet and stinky sock!


"Take Me Away Wellies" by Janet Brice Parker
I'm going to run in my wellies
and kick up sugar-white sand.
I'll splash at the edge of the ocean
and hold onto your hand.
There my be a cool breeze in Destin.
No swim suit weather for us.
But a nip in the air at the sea makes me smile.
Cold weather here makes me fuss.
I can hardly wait to fall in bed
and hear the ocean's roar.
Nature rocks us to sleep and God's voice speaks
and sweet dreams will make us soar.
Five blissful days in Destin.
The smell of salt and fish.
A sunset so fine, a glass of wine
while the sun and ocean kiss.
So, I hope that all of you miss me.
I'll think of your beautiful words.
I hope I will write a day and night.
But I'll probably eat like a bird (all of the time)
So goodbye it is from me to you.
I'll be back way too soon.
But I'll think of certain poet friends

"Yellow Wellies" by David Axton
New yellow wellies for someone aged four
Guarding the bed every night;
Waiting to be
The first things she'll see
When she opens her eyes to the light.
Bright yellow wellies for someone aged four
Jumping in puddles for fun
Splashing aways
A great game to play
And something that has to be done.
Strong yellow wellies for someone aged four
Kicking up leaves in the wood;
The pile of leaves
Comes up the the knees
So the kicking is not very good.
Warm yellow wellies for someone aged four
Lying around on their own
Not much to do
Now winter is through
And the feet of their owner have grown.

Recycle Your Hunter Wellies

In today's world there is a growing awareness of the urgent problem of waste management. Much of this waste is packaging material- metal, paper, glass and plastic, and after use it is thrown into our dustbins and transported to increasingly expensive landfill sites or incinerated. But a growing proportion is sorted and recycled. As a result, new materials are being devised and fabricated.

Kids grow out of their coloured wellie boots so quickly and thousands of pairs eventually disappear into landfill sites. To help the environment there are several ways to recycle your Children's and even Adults old wellies.

One way is to reuse them: this can be done by cutting down your old wellies converting them to New slip-ons. If you want to be more creative why not use them in the garden as planters making a chic display. Even your family pet can enjoy being ecofriendly, by keeping a set in your garden for your pet dog to use as a toy.

You can also find websites to recycle all of your unwanted items. We like http://www.recycle.co.uk/ Remember your old unwanted items might be junk to you but could be useful to someone else.
