So comfy. I have awful arthritis and love these boots. Just the right amount of support without pressure. I have those blue ones too! Love your joy in life Georgie.
Thanks Georgie My daughter in law and I were looking at buying Merry People boots a few days ago. It’s great that you are supporting a company from Melbourne Australia. Coconut oil is also a natural oil for protecting the boots.
Olive oil is the nectar of the Gods, and has many brilliant uses - I read years ago, that Sophia Loren has always used extra virgin olive oil as her only moisturiser at night. I thought, if it's good enough for La Sophia, it's good enough for me! So, I use it instead of ridiculously expensive night cream, and it works a treat! Try it Georgie - just use a few drops though - slap on too much, and you end up sliding off the end of your bed! So your Grandma was from Trak, eh? (Trak is what us Aussies call Toorak!) Trak is rather pricey and posh - at least by Aussie standards! Perhaps that's why you're so good at doing a Strine accent - it's in your DNA, ducky! Oh, and I reckon you should drill holes in the bottom of your orange gumbies, and use them as plant pots - nasturtiums would be a perfect match! I'm saving up for a hot pink pair of these bonza Oz boots. Throw away your silly stilettos, ladies - happy feet means a happy day! So wise...
I am a keen oiler of my face and hands too - as you say, less expensive than fancy face creams and fewer ingredients too - though sadly not strong enough effect to transform me into Sophia Loren x
@@theflowerfarmer 😂I used to do a lot of gardening and loved my wellies💗Your videos are always putting a massive smile on my face, so a big thankyou to you! And be proud of those calf muscles and show them off!!
Great tip thanks, Hubby just bought himself a posh spray for his welly boots but I am going to use the Olive oil, fyi my garden looks like yours too in west Dorset
I blame you, Georgie, for the three pairs that I now own! Teal, red and tan. Seeing you wearing your orange pair, constantly, was endorsement enough for me! They are so comfortable that I’ve stopped wearing anything else! X
this is why I now have an indoor and outdoor pair - I plan to wear the yellow ones to the Garden Media Guild Awards lunch in a couple of weeks no matter that it's held at the Savoy Hotel! xxx
Hi! I've recently discovered your channel and just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing inspiring, informative videos they really do brighten up my day and make me smile with your personality 😊 keep up the good work 😃
Hello Georgie ! Great minds definitely think alike !!! I’m currently looking for boots after several weeks of rain in Belgium and a storm that has finally left and his now heading to the UK 😨Your boots seem particularly nice !Thanks for sharing !
My pals from Eritrea taught me a recipe I am sure would work. We use it for hair and skin and wood and.....rain boots? 7 parts olive oil with one part beeswax melted gently together. The wax keeps it in place.
Ive had a pair of Aigle Parcours that i paid French francs for over 25 years ago. They've been dragged over barbed wire, through brambles, the top of the neoprene is looking a bit shabby and I lost the clamp for the straps on the gusset but they're still going strong.
I wear gumboots every day, whenever I'm outside in the garden or in the farm. Well, these days I wear a much lighter plastic version, because full length (snake-proof) gumboots are so exhausting when wading through long grass. When I was dairy farming, I came across the information that the milk fat which inevitably splashes onto your rubber boots, degrades the rubber. And this was certainly true. Oils do eventually make rubber disintegrate. I note that Merry People recommend using a silicone based lubricant for their rubber boots. But eventually, all of them succumb to the stress of being perpetually creased across the top of the foot. The only thing I've found to stave off this awful day, after having worn gumboots for many decades, is to have invested in a gumboot with a curved sole, which rollsvfrom heel to toe with your foot, rather than a flat sole, which of necessity must crease with every step you take, and especially when kneeling down in the garden. My farmer grandmother used to keep a tin of bicycle tube patches to repair her gumboots. A stitch, or a patch, in time saves nine!
bicycle patches are a genius idea - also the rolling soled style although I have very wide feet and the rolling soled sort never seem wide enough for me x
You crack me up, lol! I need some new boots. Thanks for the oiling tip. It’s pouring rain here too. I’m dehydrating carrots and apples and rendering lard. TeresaSue
How do the soles hold up for you please? I always find that when those begin to wear off, that they are not as comfortable any more and my feet begin to hurt.
@@theflowerfarmer in Belgium, it is so hard to find a good pair of comfortabel boots for women who have smaller sized feet... I have a 36 (Belgian size). Most good boots start at 38 . Same with good walking shoes. It seems like compagnies think that women with small feet don't come out of the house 🤣For my last rubber boots, I went over to the children section. They fit, but no good soles🙄And very strange, had to take a size 35 because the 36 was way to big...
awful truth is it's v bog standard but I have no name as it was given me by mum's friend Bobby in a pot with some honeysuckle (also no name.) It is not any kind of fancy but does love where it climbs up the wall - plus we have slightly let it run wild which probably helps x
they were at the more than one patch stage #totallyfallingapart - but I must patch the new pairs more stitch in time style - to which end I have pre-emptively bought patches x
Ooh I get told off for gardening in flip flops - barefoot even better - but we are too cold and often wet for bare feet or flip flops from September to May so these boots are heaven x
