I wanted to change the colour of the top part, but didn't want to buy any paint, so I used what I had, household emulsion. This needs a coat of varnish to seal it.

Very much looking forward to hearing about your camping adventures.....this is when I wish I did not live on a small island and could go driving afar. I did take a couple of little adventure tours that were going cheap for the locals while we have no tourists. A bargain for me and some money for the local tour companies that are going broke.Stellamarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551588961821325742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-81087909667699871842020-07-09T18:35:16.737+01:002020-07-09T18:35:16.737+01:00Good quality looking boots there Ilona.

I suppose I could have made a trip there myself, but it would have cost at least twice as much as those I have bought off the shelf. When I am not wearing boots I wear trainers/sneakers. I love comfy feet.

Maybe in the future I will browse, but at this moment in time I shop where I know I will get what I want/need, to reduce the time I am in contact with people. Berghaus boots are great.
