Topic: Wellies or Boots

[pg]

As for bra's ... Don't wear one...

Totally agree. I'm quite a large lady myself but find stretching and sweaty exercise much easier unemcumbered. Saves on washing too! Wear at least two layers on top (T shirt and shirt) if you feel a little awkward at 'showing' through.

As for footwear I always wear waterproof walking boots. They keep your feet warmer than wellies (plastic wellies  can make your feet sweat - damp socks means cold feet) plus they support your ankles when digging and walking over soggy ground. Their only drawback is that you can't bend your ankles which can be useful when squatting.

Well im going to broach the bra question!
I find that an underwire bra is a torment when you are digging weeding so abandon uplift and go for soft sides and no bones !

As for footware im really lucky in that my job supplies Toggie wellies, these are walking wellies for fat calf people. Wonderful comfy you can walk twenty miles in them and they are soft enough to be fine when you are kneeling down to root out those b******d thistles and docks.

Wellies in the winter, barefoot in the summer. I've got raised beds with grass paths, just for this purpose. I got a bee sting one year on a toe, and stubbed my toe badly on the patio at home.

Normal bra or no bra, depending on what I'm wearing on top  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

I have some lovely fur lined walking type boots I keep in my shed, but still end up wearing my crocs, even for digging!

As for bras, as I usually prefer to wear sleeveless vests and trews in clement weather and spend most of my time grubbing around on my hands and knees, I think if I didn't wear one I might give some of my more mature neighbours more than they bargained for..... ;D

Thinking along these lines (!) , I've just remembered a joke....see watershed for details!

Yes we had a sudden very heavy down pour one day but i was short of time and continued working ...in my white t-shirt!.....as soon as the rain stopped one of my older but not that old neighbours was over in a flash. Apparently to get a closer look as he said "You should have taken shelter in the rain....are you trying to win a wet T-shirt competition?"

i keep it in mind now that my every move is watched!
