Some people get excited about handbags, but I’m very excited about my new poncho! I’d been on the lookout for a completely waterproof poncho for months. I had a cheap red one, which made me look like a bargain basement Santa, that I used regularly in torrential rain, but it’s too large for my 6’2” husband, so it completely swamped me.
This one is from https://www.thepeoples.co/ Their Instagram was hacked so check them out directly on their store. They have 20% off at the moment.
The reason I wanted a poncho was to keep my legs dry. I really don’t like wearing waterproof trousers (sweaty!), I prefer to wear leggings, so a poncho is perfect.
Totally over the top with my red lippy, but I went for a walk after my tartan dress photo yesterday. Very last minute, to hike a circular route around Man Sands at sunset.
Walking is my therapy. If I don’t get out and about, I can feel a tight sensation in my belly, which creeps and crawls upwards, until I have to head out to stop it’s progress. It’s like a slow suffocation, crushing my core. This happens every day, so hiking has become a necessity. I haven’t found any other way of soothing this sensation, only physical exertion (or exhaustion!) can remedy it.
Does anyone else feel this too? Maybe it’s anxiety… but fresh air and steep hills fixes it every time.
