Just found this website @Reynard and these gloves, which they do in small sizes. I Just chose a pair that seems sensible.

You will have a much better idea, of what you need. The Kevlar gloves are a tad on the expensive side. 🤔

I have not used that site, I hasten to add. The have a size chart which shows up when you click on the item. You can narrow down the search choice by size, and task etc. Hope that helps.

I hope you didn't laugh at the fact that I thought you needed gloves for shucking oysters. 🤔

I might get myself some of these https://www.workgloves.co.uk/ejendals-tegera-19-heavy-duty-welding-gloves.html
or these https://www.workgloves.co.uk/polyco-polyflex-hydro-c5-phyk-cut-resistant-work-gloves.html

I have a large very prickly Berberis to prune. It is a giant and has prickles and thorns of a giant size. I want to keep it in the garden, because at the height of summer it provides dense shade on very hot days,

I've had a letter from Boris Johnson. Apparently, there's an election soon and he says I ought to vote for him because Brexit is done.

Who knew? :laugh:

In slightly more exciting news, I've been updating the cycling club website. It looks much better, if I do say so myself. Just need a few bits of up-to-date info from people to make it accurate.
Since using their method of counting I've discovered that I have 50% more bikes ! :ohmy:

Well, I'm intolerant to oysters, so I'll let you off on that one. :laugh:

They only seem to do the big manly sizes that will make me look like a wicket keeper. :laugh: I normally buy kiddies gloves or XS adult gloves. :blush:

Obviously an Aubergine

Does your trebuchet have the range to reach as far as East Anglia? That lot would be mighty fine in a cheese sauce together with some salmon and smoked haddock, and topped with cheesy mashed potato. :blush:


Might be a tad bruised by the time they got to you..
Would take several sequential launches from Devonianshire.

Surely there must be a veg grower of quality in your area..?
I know a few organicistas out your way..

Mmmn the Fennel is gooood :hungry:

Nice recipe idea though.. That might have to be Friday night dinner :okay:

Yebbut you make your veggies sound sooooo gooood :hungry:

Actually, there are a few decent places around here that sell by the side of the road. The market in Ely is a waste of time for the most part as it's overpriced and under-qualitied. Weird, considering we're on the edge of market garden territory here. :scratch:

I do grow my own fruit and herbs though. :smile: Organically too - don't use any garden sprays because of the cats.

Are you looking in the right place? 🤔 The smallest size is 5 which is 5 inches all around the widest part of your hand.

As an example if you refine your search (on the left hand side of the screen) you can choose by "Use" , which includes fine handling work and then Size.

They do a size 5 in these: https://www.workgloves.co.uk/fine-handling-gloves.html

Well, I'm looking at what kind of glove I want... :laugh:

These are what I currently have, but it seems they no longer do them in XS :sad:

The same has happened to Leicester Market, I think they all buy from the same wholesaler. :sad:

These are for children aged 3 to 7. You will be telling me they are too small and you do not like orange or blue.:laugh:
