Hello Old Tom :)
But we're feminine lady gardeners :D and wellies have got to be the way to go...we can get them in loads of colours & customise them with stick-on placcy flowers an all-sorts.....I don't really want to wear a pair of mens navvy boots and spend evenings dubbin them - 'sides, then we'd still have to wrap bits of old carpet round our calves tied up with garden twine to keep them warm....not really high fashion, is it now? ;) ;D
