Hmm! How many goal keepers has he been to bed with? I ask myself  :o ;D...only kidding ;D ;D ;D

When I started this lottie-lark a few weeks back, I started complaining to others about my newly-acquired sandpaper hands.  Someone really nice (Trixiebelle  :) ) sent me a bar of soap which has done loads to eliminate this - after I've finished gardening I wash my hands using it, and it makes a huge difference.

It's called Seven Wives Gardeners & Workshop soap.  It contains essential oils, olive oil to moisturise, and an exfoliant.

Thoroughly recommended.

I'd buy it just for the name ;D

Where can I get it?

(shopping early for Christmas)

I just found it online.  Took me a while actually, because for some reason I thought it was called "Two Ladies" and not "Seven Wives".  ::)  My memory's not what it used to be.  :D

QuoteI've found some gloves on a UK site that look technically very similar to the gloves I've been using but they only come in white (!)

I've ordered a pair, they were only £4.95 (+ £1.45pp) -  I'll give you a verdict when they've been put to use!

They've arrived!!! And I am excited to report that they are 'almost' the same as 'Weeders,' in fact I can't see or feel any difference apart from the name. They are a slightly different size too, my Weeders were a Small, these are a size 7 and they are I guess a medium. They are trading under the name 'Floreo 265' made by Showa and have a website www.showa-europe.com (which i have not visited).

I would post a lovely pic for you but my camera is on the blink  :-\

Happy gardening again  :)

;D ;D ;D
Good news daisy_jane, well done that glove detective!

I said the SHOWA gloves were good but hadn't got a link to the Flora ones thanks!
:)
