Trespass

actually walking trousers
because I don;t want padding and Lycra and all that

saw an article in a newspaper this morning where she described her husband as a
MABNILYDTPDP
Middle Aged Bloke Not In Lycra Y Due To Possibility of Divorce Proceedings
which sums up my attitude!

but riding in jeans in cold wet weather is not the perfect alternative!!!

Picked Trespass as they have different leg lengths
because - and this may be news to clothes designers for "outdoor wear" - people sometimes have non-standard legs!!!
(my wife is 4 foot 11 - she can go on about clothes designers for several hours!!!!)

It really annoys me that decent jeans are rarely available in different lengths.

In the US they have a full range of leg lengths.

We are lucky that we have access to a very good, and reasonably priced, seamstress to alter trousers, fleece tops (arms) & t.shirts (body length).

Been shopping, thrifting and had the Flu vax at Boots.

Pre booked online and got done on time and no fuss, n o issues so far,,,,

BH nabbed a pair of Russell and Bromley boots at one of the chazzers so she's well pleased.

And had beans on toast ( with a bit of Turkish pepper and some chilli sauce) and a cup of tea when we got back.

Pepper AND chili sauce together
