Everywhere was water. My fingers, my thinking. I bought my first pair of gumboots. My vanity has prevented me until now. Tens of minutes spent examining each option for colour, fit, pattern… and then splashing with my favourite five year old through tides and climbing the sand mountains that the storm left.
And the fabric, remains.
