First pair of wellies?
My first pair I remember were a pair of Thomas the Tank Engine wellies. Shocker if you knew me as a girl.
First Hunters meanwhile were in red when I was 10!

My first wellies? About five years ago Two pairs of Dunlop calf wellies for walking when taking photos and videos.
One Black pair
One green pair.
So well into adulthood!

Re: First pair of wellies?
There's a photo of me around somewhere featuring shiny red wellies in the snow, taken when I was a toddler. I remember when I was about 7 or 8 years old being very excited to own a pair of black Dunlop wellies.
Today I have about 30 pairs!

Re: First pair of wellies?
I never had any wellingtons when a child but borrowed some for a week from lady next door when our class worked on a farm for a week. They were a lovely pair of soft brown rubber and I remember sitting on the bus rubbing them up and down. So the first pair I had was when in the Royal Air Force and issued with a lovely rubber cape and a pair of wellingtons for use on the airfield. They got used more for personal pleasure than original purpose.

I can remember wanting a pair of yellow and blue ladies dunlop wellies with the yellow cuff and yellow draw string cord around the top, sadly my mum bought me a pair of black dunlop instead, much to my annoyance

Re: First pair of wellies?
My 1st pair were black ones from Woolworths but the most memorable (?) Ones were a pair of bright blue ones that were bought for me when I was 14 from the girls racks. And I had to wear them home "as it was raining" despite my protests
