The Duke of Wellington's Eponymous Boot

I've found a new must-have for mucking about the farm.   I'm talking about a pair of Wellies from Hunter.  Hunter, based in Scotland, has been in business making the Wellington boot since 1856.

I am really coveting a pair of the Original Tall Wellingtons in Green.  And since it's difficult to find any color of wellies besides black for men in the States, I'll be having mine shipped from across the pond.

And for the ladies, look and this wonderfully floral welly designed especially for the Royal Horticultural Society.

That's a wonderful rainbow of wellies! 

Hunter even holds The Royal Warrants of Appointment as suppliers of waterproof footwear to HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.  I can't wait to get my very own pair!

A Royal Coach is Up for Sale

Her Majesty's 2001 Jaguar is for sale.  How amazing would it be to own this car?

This was the Queen's personal motorcar which she often drove herself whilst at Windsor Castle.

The car has many customisations for Mum, including this one-of-a-kind arm rest fashioned to hold HM's ever present handbag whilst traveling down the motorway.

Wouldn't we all look quite regal motoring about in this luxurious automobile?!?!
