It was a lovely, clear, crisp Winter’s day, following what had been 2 weeks of very wet weather. Everywhere was flooded and Andrea wanted to see how high local river had been during the peak of the flooding. She chose to wear a pair of loose-fitting, real leather, very high-waisted trousers with leather knee-high boots and a leather biker jacket. Ideal clothes for getting very wet in!
The air was cold and the sun was low in the sky. The underlit cloud formations were amazing, as were the reflections in the pools of flood water and the surface of the river. She splashed through puddles which got deeper and deeper, until her feet were soaked in her boots and the lower legs of her leather trousers were plastered to her skin.
She walked briskly, so that she didn’t feel the cold, even though the air temperature was only just above freezing. But when the water level rose to around her hips she had to confess that it was a bit chilly!
Nevertheless, “in for a penny, in for a pound”, as they say. And so, she waded arm-pit deep across flooded fields, and jumped into neck deep water in flooded ditches. It really was great fun, and such a liberating experience at the same time. But she got very cold in the process.
She emptied her boots for the last time and strode quickly back to the truck for the brief drive home. There, she marched straight into the shower and put it on full; then she let the hot water trickle slowly inside her leathers as it slowly revived her.
