I’m a sucker for a nice pair of wellies, and these marvellous Muck Boots were a lifesaver at the lovely but VERY muddy Somersault Festival last weekend.

Somersault Festival was a pretty gorgeous place to while away a weekend – awesome bands, rainbow bunting, a river to cool off in, death defying circus acts, many pints of cider. It was also, however, wetter than an otter’s pocket – don’t let these photos from the sunny Saturday fool you! You’ve really not lived until you’ve danced to Bombay Bicycle Club in a bin bag with rain dripping off your eyebrows. Luckily I’d packed my new wellington boots from outdoor footwear pros
Muck Boot, £95. Comfy even after hours jumping up and down in a field, these are wellies made to last. Plus, their thick neoprene soles and cosy sock liners mean they’ll be perfect in the winter for muddy dog walks and chilly yard work. They come in tons of colours but this happy gingham check print will cheer up the drizzliest of days.
