Hunter Wellingtons by Samantha Wright

Hunter Wellingtons

Standing up straight I swept the hair from my eyes,
Breathing in deep I looked up at the sky,
Moody clouds breaking, the sun beating down,
I vividly remember that raw feeling of 'now'.

The tide crept in as the moon pulled tight,
My personal horizon spinning the light,
A web of glitter echoed by the sea,
As I sat on the beach just my Hunters and me.

The surf whipped up, the breeze blew cool,
Steadied by my soles I stood tall,
Leaning into the wind, my arms outstretched,
A precious moment I'll never forget.

Lungs filling up with salt pricked air,
I let the sea wash away all my worries and cares,
The rhythmic lullaby of the ever breaking wave,
I loved every moment of calm that it gave.

My Hunters walked me on, leading me back home,
The path winding to reality tired and overgrown,
Treading through the dirt and kicking up the mud,
I open the door and smile to myself - I'm feeling pretty damn well good.

Hunter Wellingtons

Fashions come and fashions go,
The weather changes too,
If soggy feet is what you fear,
Then Hunters are for you!

In all shapes and sizes,
They keep you comfortable and dry,
Whilst people in poor footwear,
Sullenly trudge by.

Around town or in the country,
And seen upon the Queen,
There's something there for everyone,
Not only classic green,

They're worn by fashionistas,
And style icons everywhere,
So for cutting edge practicality,
Rush out and buy a pair!

My toddler in the woods I follow
In muddy puddles she jumps high and low
Wet & cold mummy's feet
Oh, for a pair of dry and comfy wellies
My share of chocolate I would forfeit!

Hiding
Under the Christmas Tree
New presents left for me
Thinking what could it be
Earrings or a Nintendo Wii
Ripping the paper off its a pair of Hunter Wellies

Take Your Hunter Wellingtons Back In Time

It's October and already very wet, so your Hunter Wellingtons would be ideal for this years Stow-on-the-Wold Hose Fair being held on the 22ND October 2009. Before the market was established, trading was a haphazard business of barter where town folk of Stow relied on traders passing along the Fosse Way.

In 1476 wool was the main source of wealth and it was agreed by King Edward IV that twice a year for people of Stow and the surrounding hills to bring their sheep to be sold. The first date was to be held on the 12Th May, feast of Saints Philip and James and the second on October 24Th the feast of St Edward the Confessor. These dates are still used today to decide the horse fair.

The nature of trade has changed considerably with the decline in the wool trade, as trade in horses grew to take it's place, and with shops trading all the time in the day to day necessities, the need has fallen. However, the itinerant nature of trading has carried on with the Romanies coming in increasing numbers caring on the tradition. For, them these two dates remain as the most important social event of the year as well as a time and place to buy and sell. This fair has proven to be very popular with famous photographers, artists, and the public who enjoy seeing the traditional horse drawn caravans providing the feeling of stepping back into time.
