Oh no! Not more gold slippers ruined!? ;-)
I had a lovely gold leather pair, I promised myself they would not get
as far as the outside hall - they are now in the garage, alongside the
pristine green wellies and leaning on umpteen gold pairs of slippers;
that, I promise myself, I will hose down and put in the washing machine.
I am still looking for the left one of a pair that is lodged about half
a metre down in heavy clay - I wonder if I could claim on the insurance
for several years of gold slippers.
